Penny Goes Home

Let’s kick off the weekend early with a feel-good story! Mama Penny has left her ready-to-adopt puppies and will now be a spoiled baby herself for a change.

Soapbox Rant: Those Pesky Adoption Policies

All right, folks, time for a not-so-quick soapbox statement. (Hops up with megaphone) Many of you already know this spew by heart, so maybe it will be a good "share" for others who might not. We want to address some questions that continue to pop up in interviews, emails and on our social media sites. We know there have been countless articles written about this subject, both from the "be-a-stickler" to the "don't-run-off-people" points of view, so here's our stance on things. We try to take a middle ground whenever possible, but we simply will not when it jeopardizes the well-being of our dogs.
Jessie

Jessie: It’s the Little Things

Jessie has been in foster care for a few weeks now ... and her mom is keeping a journal we just love. She's still available for adoption and, as you can see, is going to make someone an amazing forever dog. She's loving, patient, funny, laidback and sweet as all honey ...
Team Russell at Whole Foods

Whole Foods Adoption Event

On Saturday, Whole Foods Market Buckhead tried something new and inventive and invited us out for an adoption event. They set us up in a high-profile spot for our dogs to meet and greet visitors as they entered and exited their busy location. Suffice it to say, it turned out fantastic!
Hacienda del Mar

Win a Condo in Cabo for the Dogs

If you weren't able to make it to our June fundraiser and bid on the condos in Cabo San Lucas, here's your chance to one-up both of those offers with a 7-night stay (September 20-27, 2014) in a Presidential Suite Condo at Hacienda del Mar.
Jessie in Foster

Jessie: A First-Time Foster Experience

Fostering a rescue dog is about much more than just taking a dog into your home. It's about teaching a rescue dog how to live in a home. Some dogs' situations are more challenging than others, especially the ones who have spent most of or their entire lives living outdoors--in the backyard or in breeding kennels. And then there are other dogs who just leap into your arms and are ready to adjust to and learn everything. Jessie is the latter.
Pippa, Emma and Aster

Our Girls: Once, Twice, Three Times the Ladies

Pippa came ... with incredibly advanced heartworm disease. But then she conquered ... with an incredible spirit. Now she's brought two more beautiful girls into the pack.
Lunchtime with Nicki

Lunchtime with Nicki

Just a little fun with Nicki. He is actually a perfect gentleman, especially once he gets to know and trusts a person. Now that Rocket has been adopted, who knows what may be in store for our other fear-aggressive boy. Miracles DO happen.
Candy adoption day

Candy Goes Home

Candy was an immediate hit when she arrived at rescue a few weeks ago. No surprise there, given what an affectionate little puddin’ pop she is! Everyone is always looking for “shorties,” and this little girl couldn’t be “shorter” (and sweeter) if she wanted to.
Jax on adoption day

Jax Goes Home

This may be the most amazing weekend ever! Fosters, fosters, adopters, adopters, everywhere ... for us, at least. That meant 3-4 for other rescues' 30-40. ;) But we'll take those small but huge victories.
