Year in Review 2015: June
June is all about our big annual Jack/Chow fundraiser … and some fun-raising. (Yeah, we said it.)

But we are proud to say that JRT Adoptions contributed 587 entries already.

We had joy, we had fun, we had a wonderful month under the sun. There were fun days and miracle adoption days. What more could we ask for?
April was another relatively-calm month. (We were storing up for a big summer.) One of our favorite little guys was adopted after years of waiting and our cornhole champs continued their winning streak for the dogs.
Spring always arrives with great anticipation at the ranch. The days get longer and warmer, and the dogs absolutely love the weather. We typically have a Spring Vol Day to remove the plastic from the kennels, but this year, we had an extra-special “fun day.”
Tonight, we say goodbye to our beloved Edgar, who passed Saturday night. You may be wondering who this handsome guy is. He was never posted, never shared. That’s because we fell in love with him early on … and he had a purpose much greater than we knew.
February was relatively quiet across the board … which is always good during the cold. It’s challenging enough to take the dogs in and out of the kennels everyday to enjoy the sunshine and to stay warm at night.
City Dog Market kicks off its Toys for Spot donation drive today! Between now and Dec. 23, you can purchase a toy to donate to our rescue for 20% off. They’ll put it in Santa’s sack, and Santa will deliver the goodies for Christmas. Visit their store at 4244 Peachtree Rd NE in Atlanta or call in a donation from anywhere at 404-816-8050.
It’s that time again: To look back on the year and highlight the events that impacted the rescue–and the dogs–as a whole. We said it in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and we’ll say it again in 2015 … This year, we helped rescue and re-home more dogs than we have since the days Jimmy was with us and it was more of a full-time gig than us “duct taping” things together. Woo-hoo!
OK, friends, we have yet another wonderful way to help earn a grant for the dogs this month and this, personally, is one of our favorites! We were one of Dogly’s first recipients of their “most loves” grants a year ago; then we won it again in the spring and also took home a creative grant with Brigit. WOOF!
We’ve shared with you some ways to help the dogs this holiday season, including ways to shop online and how to foster. We know some of you prefer to “deposit directly” and make an instant impact, especially at year-end for tax deductions. We are a 501(c)3 and any monetary donation to us does apply, so … Here’s what we really (really, really, really) need — help with our vet bills!
