We are heartbroken to share that we said goodbye to Grace, our very special girl. 💔

Gracie developed a large metastatic tumor that progressed and ulcerated quickly. With her complex medical history, we knew that pursuing treatment would likely only prolong her discomfort rather than give her meaningful time. Making the decision to let her go peacefully was incredibly hard, but it was made out of love.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Bean, Brooke, and CodaPet for giving us the gift of a gentle goodbye. Because of them, we were able to surround Grace with loving faces and plenty of snacks in her final moments.

Gracie was so very loved, and she will be so very missed.

When temperatures drop, outdoor exposure can quickly become life-threatening. ❄️

Bring pets indoors, provide warm, dry shelter, and make sure they have food and unfrozen water. Garages, sheds, and porches are not enough protection in freezing conditions. If it’s too cold for you , it’s too cold for them.

The realities of rescue on the 4th.

Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th.

Please be on the lookout this weekend for out of place pets.
Look for missing posters.
Share missing posts.

The terrifying sounds of the coming hours can cause even the most cautious owners to face challenges with their pets.

Be courteous. Be diligent. Be kind as you enjoy your festivities ❤️

Excellent reminder as we near July. We also recognize not everyone has a veteranarian. While a licensed care provider is always the best option, here are a few options available for purchase over the counter.

We’d rather having your pet safe, than panicking.

1. Thundercoats (excellent for storms and fireworks.)
2. CBD chews (made for both dogs and cats).
3. Calming chews (also for dogs and cats).

Wednesday afternoon we received a call out of Wilkinson County, GA asking for resources to assist with a potential animal hoarding case.

It was explained that there were “so many dogs we can’t get inside.”

What transpired after was an exhaustive communication with local PD, the Department of Agriculture and area shelters to help line up resources to assist with movement.

We’ll leave the reporting to those in the trenches but we’ll extend a tremendous thanks to the Gordon Police Department, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Jones County Animal Control and the Atlanta Humane Society for responding swiftly and efficiently to help these pups.

Georgia's animals got a HUGE WIN yesterday, when the 2nd chamber of the Georgia Legislature voted to pass HB331.

This means selling puppies out of the trunk of your car in the parking lot of your local Walmart, or selling puppies at a flea market or selling rabbits on any roadside will be a state crime when the Governor signs this law into effect.

See Senate vote below. House vote is linked here.

@ led this effort, so many thanks to them. Our 's lobbyists worked with their lobbyist to shore up support. There were many additional voices that helped push this over the finish line to a victory. We couldn't thank everyone involved enough. It cannot be overstated what a huge message this sends and how helpful this will be to our ACOS and shelters.

Thank you State Senate and for voting yes on this crucial step forward!!!

ANY law enforcement officer will be able to enforce this across the state:

"...(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the transfer of any dog, cat, or domestic rabbit at any roadside, public right of way, parkway, median, public or commercial parking lot or sidewalk, park, recreation area, fair, transient or seasonal flea market, or a similar transient market or outdoor location, regardless of whether such activity is otherwise authorized by any person or entity. (c) This Code section shall not apply to: (1) The transfer of any dog, cat, or domestic rabbit by a person or entity that has and produces upon request, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, a valid animal shelter license issued by the department; (2) Any transfer that takes place at a residence or inside of a veterinarian's office or other business establishment; ... (d) An animal control officer who is an employee of state or local government or any sheriff, deputy sheriff, or other peace officer is authorized to enforce the provisions of this 39 Code section and to impound any animal subject to a transfer in violation of this Code section..."

Saturday evening into Sunday morning!

Take precaution now. Depending on your location, the weather will vary. Watch the news, check weather- be ready!

Bring your animals in, if at all possible. If not, make sure they have identification, secure shelters, coverings- GET THEM OFF CHAINS!
Falling limbs, blowing debris- they will need protection.

Secure your outdoor items.
-Flip trampolines
-Secure swings, grills, etc.
-Move chairs, flip tables.

Our fencing is up! An enormous thank you to those that assisted in a tremendous labor of love. We still have a few adjustments to ensure our characters are safe.

The weather and a sprain may slow us down- we’re still making progress!

Next stop: Concrete pads for our quarantine kennels!

Governor Kemp has our support in this!

Spay & Neuter is the heart of who we are. We will never rescue our way out of over population (particularly in the south).

Now for mandates and increased state funding to lower these costs and help make it more accessible for many.
