Decker Goes Home

Happy Sunday! We thought we’d start you out on a happy note and let you know that another one of our rescues has found his fabulous forever home.
Buster and Mindy

Buster Goes Home

It’s been five months since our beautiful vol Pat saved Buster after being hit by a car in a busy intersection. It took that long to heal from his wounds and we wondered if this little Chi/Terrier boy would ever find his forever home because of his disability. But, on Thursday, the pin was removed from his leg … and he is Florida bound with his new and amazing mom, Mindy Underberger.
Maggie and family on adoption day

Maggie Goes Home

Our sweet girl Maggie has finally found her forever home! Mom Hilary and her husband grew up with dogs, but wanted to wait until their sons were older to bring a dog into their home. So when Hilary came to Whole Foods nearly two weeks ago, she fell in love with Maggie right when she saw her! She didn't have her sons or husband with her, but she had a great feeling that Maggie would be a perfect addition to their family. And she was right! A few days after the Whole Foods event, Hilary's sons and husband came out to the rescue with her to spend some time with Maggie and the rest is history.
Sweet Cream Donation

Sweet Dreams are Made of This

We just wanted to give a very special shout out to Sweet Cream Co. of Columbia, South Carolina. They recently surprised us with an amazing donation check of $315 for the sales of their doggie pops in March and April.
Gayle and Barkley

Foster to Adopt? Our fave opp!

Our little lamb Barkley has moved from his medical foster home to his new (possibly permanent) foster home. Yay! For those wondering if fostering before adoption is a possibility, absolutely! We actually prefer this route to adoption. It’s a great experience for the dogs and the adopters all around.

Another Fabulous Fundraiser!

Last night was our 3rd Annual Paw Over Some Jack and Chow Down fundraiser, our “big” fundraiser with Chap's Chow Rescue at Plants Creative Landscapes' warehouse in Decatur. Thank you to everyone who came out (despite the heat) to support the rescues. Everyone was having such a great time, we even went beyond our usual 9 o’clock cutoff time. Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers and, of course, attendees for making this another great year that went to the dogs … literally!

Fundraiser Fun Saturday Night

Join us for our 3rd annual fundraiser for Chap’s Chow Rescue and Georgia Jack Russell Rescue, Adoption & Sanctuary this Saturday, June 13, in Decatur. It's an event not to be missed! Food, drinks, live music, silent auction, raffles, wine wall and cool giveaways.
Chloe and Lorelee

Chloe Goes Home

We were all a bit heartbroken for (big) little Chloe when she arrived at rescue last month. She had been through so much, having lost both the only family she knew since she was a baby after 12 years and her younger sister, who was adopted. She was very confused and understandably nervous about what was happening and what was going to happen next. Now, we know—she knows—she’ll never have to worry again.
I WILL get that lure next time!

JRT Fun Day in May

What a fabulous JRT Fun Day we had at the ranch Saturday with the Dogwood Jack Russell Terrier Club. All of the dogs (including some of our current and former rescues) had a blast participating in the lure course, steeplechase and barn hunt activities. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fabulous time.
Sparky on adoption day

Sparky Goes Home

Happy Hump Day! It’s definitely one for us as we have an adoption to announce! Just three days after leaving the ranch, we have already received word from Sparky’s new family that he will not be coming back. Woohoo!
