Sam and Ossa: Both Sides of the Foster Story

To promote our push for fosters, we are sharing some stories from our fosters throughout the years. They all have unique and wonderful experiences – some short-term, some long-term and, yes, some permanent. The Brewsters have had a very unique experience in fostering: They fostered one dog (Sam) to the point of adoption, then took in another dog (Breeze) who was really down on his luck. They cared for him and nursed him from rescue, through the trials and triumphs of overcoming (and almost losing) a broken leg, to making the decision to add him to their family.

No Kill Nation

ResQthreads: Go Shopping, Go Walking

We are always looking for partnerships with great organizations who believe in giving back. It's a win-win situation: You, our supporters, get great stuff that you probably buy anyway; the dogs get a percentage of your shopping spree, your efforts or your time. Our latest partnership is with ResQthreads.
Hannah

Hannah 2.0: New and Improved

Just a little over a year ago, Hannah spent her days, pacing nonstop in her kennel, unable to look at or trust anyone. You may remember the story of how we finally "caught" her and, slowly but surely, began working with her. She had heartworm (or so we thought at the time; the records were incorrect) and needed to go to foster care for treatment, so Pam and Bonnie took her in, in January and began integrating her into their pack. By February, she was already showing improvement.
Sassy

Sassy: A Tribute to Sweetness

For the second time within a month, we are left with a hole in our hearts. Our sweet little Sassy developed pneumonia and, within hours, left us for the Rainbow Bridge this morning. We are going to miss her like hell, but her silliness and bunny hops will always live on.

Chad: Learning to Trust

Over the past year, Kevin and Elisa Schwutke have been a "dogsend" to the group. They have fostered three dogs (Pebbles, Casper and Mr. Wiggles) to adoption and are currently fostering one of our more "difficult" cases named Chad. This is Chad's third foster home. Although he did well with the others, he has some fear issues (especially around men) that needed to be addressed directly and overcome before he can move on to a permanent home. It's been a long road, but he is finally learning to trust.
You Call It Foster Failure, I Call It A Three Time Adoption Success

Confessions of a Foster Failure

To promote our push for fosters, we will be sharing some stories from our fosters throughout the years. They all have unique and wonderful experiences - some short-term, some long-term and, yes, some permanent. It is only fitting that we kick it off with one of our favorite stories over the years. Three times, Jennifer Roose came to rescue to foster and, yes, three time she allegedly "failed." But what a beautiful way to fail.

New Leather JRT Jewelry Available

Lisa Tedeschi of Against the Grain hand-crafted more than 30 pieces of leather goods (keychains, cuffs and necklaces) just for us to sell for the dogs called the GA JRT Series (Limited Edition)! We are blown away by the detail and the time we know it took her to do this for us. Wow!
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.

Frazier Goes Home

After years at the rescue, Frazier has a forever home! He's been with us for so long that we can barely remember when he arrived ... Five years ago? Seven? He was always overlooked by potential adopters, but we all knew (especially after what a gent he was during his barn hunt classes) what a special, easygoing, loving boy he was outside the kennels. When Anne first visited the rescue last year, he even tried to jump into her car. Yesterday, he did ... forever.
