Kennedy’s Wheels
There are two things you should know about this video ... 1) This is Kennedy, getting used to his new wheelchair ... and ... 2) this is Kennedy, getting used to his new wheelchair after having had surgery yesterday to have six teeth extracted ... We'd say he's doing alllll right. ;) And it's all because of you!
Angel Tree Drive Underway
Our annual Angel Tree Drive has officially kicked off again! For the past two years, Intown Healthy Hound in Grant Park has graciously sponsored our tree and will do so again this year. Dog City II in Sandy Springs will also be hosting a tree, which we set up today (pictured). Thanks so much to Olive and Lily, owner Marcia’s insanely-adorable Boston Terrier rescues, for helping us get the job done!
Kennedy Project: Mission Accomplished
Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for so many things today, but especially for all of you. Because of your concern and generosity, we surpassed our original fundraising goal for Kennedy in just a matter of days! Not only did we raise enough for his wheelchair and laser treatments/pain medications, he will be getting a much-needed dental/extractions and some paw protectors. We've said it before and we'll say it again -- we could not do this without you.
Kennedy’s Progress
Kennedy had the sixth laster treatment on Saturday. This is the final treatment of our "trial" period suggested by Dr. Smith, and we wanted to share an update ... not to mention these adorable photos. He has managed to woo every vet and vet tech he meets.
Kennedy’s Next Steps
We'd love to share an update on Kennedy. As you may remember, this beautiful boy was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis of the spine a few months ago. He's now in foster care and receiving additional evaluations, laser treatments, and drug therapies.
Fall Vol Day Fun!
We've concluded another successful Fal Vol Day! A good portion of the kennels were wrapped/weather-proofed, all of the coat-clad dogs received a lot of attention and sunshine, the food was great and the teamwork even better, annnnnd ... we may have a couple of adoption stories to share soon!
Home for the Holidays Online Auction
Our Home for the Holidays Online Auction is now underway! All proceeds from this auction will help us continue helping them until they get their second chance.
Dirty Harry Goes Home … Forever
It's another Sunday at rescue. Poop is getting scooped, water bowls are getting refreshed, and dogs are being walked. But there's something that none of us can ignore: That empty kennel. It's the first one we all see when we pull up to rescue; the one that housed Dirty Harry, who was notorious for welcoming everyone in his own way. He loved some folks; he warned away others. Whatever he did, however, he was Dirty Harry.
Floyd’s New Outlook on Life
Sometimes we invite our online family to join us on difficult surgical decisions and ask for prayers … and sometimes we just have to make those difficult decisions and follow through. That happened recently with Floyd when both of his eyes had to be removed.
Eddie’s Successful Surgery
Our brave Eddie boy is back home at rescue and doing very well following his perineal hernia surgery last week … almost too well, in fact! He is his happy-go-luck self, ready to play and explore. Thank you for all of the support, prayers and donations.
