Gracie and the Babies

Gracie ‘n the Babies

Gracie and her babies were saved from the kill shelter in early June. They all need to be spayed and receive some TLC ... and we need your help in finding them fosters.

Rock On, Sweet Jerry Lee

Our hearts are heavy tonight as we say goodbye to our sweet senior boy, Jerry Lee. He was close to Mama Donna's heart for years and was a very special dog to his "forever foster" family. Rock, on, sweet Jerry Lee. Rock on.

What a Difference a Year Can Make

It was a year ago that we heard the news no one ever wants to hear: An out-of-state rescue was busted and more than 50 neglected dogs were seized. Many of them were Jack Russells, and the local shelter was desperately reaching out to all rescues across the country to save some of them.

Hannah: Learning to Be Happy

It’s been about two months now since Hannah went to live in foster care. Several of our dogs have found wonderful foster homes since the first cold spell hit Atlanta, but this one was extra special. Hannah didn’t just need a foster home; she needed to learn how to love.

Hannah’s Big Ole Baby Steps

Hannah is moving mountains. Oh, sure, it may be a little tail stub wag here or a little sniff there, but every step she has taken this passed week has been huge.

Impromptu Vol Day

We had a last-minute/unplanned “vol day” this morning. About half of Team Russell showed up to take all of the dogs out for a little while to eat and do their business before tucking them back into their warm crates (on fresh blankets) indoors.

Jack Flashback 2013: December

'Tis the season for a month of miracles. December was amazing in all aspects - from incredible fosters/adoptions, to an outpouring of donations and voting support, to an awesome and much-overdue party. It ended a year that we will never forget at rescue.
