Hunter and family on adoption day

Hunter Goes Home

We’re about to start another rotation of “daily featured dogs,” which we do with every few weeks based on a theme or the time of year on our social media sites. Every time we kick them off, we always kick them off with the dog who was at the top of the last rotation and is still with us … and, for the past several rounds, it’s been poor Hunter … and every time we post him, we always wonder, “Why is this sweet boy still with us?!”
Dixie loving the window life!

Dixie Goes Home

Mondays are rarely fun days for anyone, but here’s some fabulous news — Dixie has been adopted!!!
JR with family

J.R. Goes Home

J.R. arrived from Alabama back in April after two out-of-state rescues helped to network and transport him to Atlanta. He had been hit by a car, and his knees and hips were a bit out of whack. It looked like surgery was inevitable, but he had already started to heal and doc felt that he was going to heal just fine with medications and 10 weeks of rest.
Decker's backyard

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.
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.
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!
Mom and Diamond (now Dixie) on vacation in Georgia before heading home ... Instant match!

Diamond Goes Home

We have had so many amazing adoptions lately, we almost don’t know what to say or think anymore. That may be “business as usual” for most “big” rescues, but for us? It’s almost beyond comprehension. Facebook, the internet and social media as a whole has changed our entire game the past five years. We’ve gone from tiny to mighty, and our dogs—several of whom weren’t even “adoptable” (Rocket and Nick, just to name a couple) by standards—have found their perfect homes.
Brooklyn and family on adoption day

Brooklyn Goes Home

What’s better than a positively gorgeous day in the ATL with former rescues and volunteers visiting, playing with the dogs and catching up on the wrap-around porch? Yep — a happy tail! And what a happy tail this one is! So many of our senior and sanctuary dogs have been adopted by so many amazing people lately! We are speechless. Brooklyn has now joined them.
