✨ A Light Along the Path: VALERO

A light now shines along the Artemis House memorial path for beloved Valero 💜

"Val was an angel who transformed our lives in the short and sacred 18 months we knew him. We walked the path of healing heartworms together and he took us from 2 dogs to many. He was the catalyst that initiated me into serving in animal rescue."

What a GREAT weekend!

Artemis House had its first official volunteer event "Chimp or Treat" with Project Chimps, handing out candy and treats and helping make the day extra special!

We met so many wonderful volunteers, shared lots of smiles, and had an amazing time being part of such a great event. And we have to give a special shout-out to Paige Norwood Jennings for being the BEST-DRESSED tour guide! She definitely brought some extra fun and personality to the day!

It was a memorable weekend representing Artemis House together with Tania Richley, Sue Peet, Phil N. Melanie, our doggy friend Karl 🐾, Heidi Rinehard Kennedy, and Joy Schweiger. Thank you for giving your time, spreading kindness, and showing what Artemis House is all about!

We’re excited for more opportunities to serve, volunteer, and make a difference together.

Here’s to many more great weekends ahead!

There is a particular kind of generosity in believing in something while it is still finding its feet. 💜 Before there is a track record. Before a large following. While so much of the work is still preparation, and the first dogs have yet to arrive. This weekend, I want to thank the people and organizations who have offered Artemis House that gift.

To everyone who has contributed through our Founding Wish List: thank you. Each gift helps us prepare for the dogs ahead, and the kindness behind it means so much. A special shout-out to Cathy E Duvall, who has sent so many much-needed items on several occasions. Cathy, your continued generosity and belief in us have encouraged us more than you know.

Thank you, too, to Homeward Bound Pet Rescue, INC, Bigfoot and Buddy Dog Lodge, and Rescue Ridge. When I reached out as part of our preparations, you responded with an immediate willingness to help. Being met with that kindness meant so much.

Starting Artemis House has brought many moments of joy, and days when the uncertainty and responsibility feel heavy. There is so much to put in place to safely and responsibly fulfill our promise to a dog: We see you. We protect you. We walk you home.

In the middle of that work, someone choosing to say, through words or actions, “We believe in what you’re building” gives me room to breathe and courage to keep going. I am beyond grateful for that. 🙏

A Place to Heal. A Home to Belong.

A little behind-the-scenes reveal: our new Artemis House event tablecloth has arrived. 💜

Seeing the finished result stretched over the table for the first time was a moment worth pausing for to enjoy.

Artemis, our beautiful namesake and inspiration every day, the gentle colors, and the connection between a person and a dog beneath one roof—all carrying the heart of what we’re building.

Soon, this will be where we meet people, share our story, answer questions, and begin new connections. I hope you’ll find your way to our table soon and say hello.

For today, I wanted to share this little piece of Artemis House with you.

A Place to Heal. A Home to Belong.

🕯️ In Loving Memory of NanaBanana

Sweet NanaBanana - only eight weeks old, barely two pounds. You should have had a whole lifetime ahead of you—to play, to grow, to fall asleep in loving arms, and to discover a world where you were safe.

You were with us for such a short time, yet your light shone so bright. Your spirit, your love, your playfulness, and the place you made in our hearts were so much bigger than your tiny body. You touched so many lives, sweet girl. We ache for everything you never got to experience.

We light this lantern because you were here. You mattered. You were loved. And you will never, ever be forgotten.

As we work to open Artemis House, we will carry you with us. In every space we prepare, every caregiver we support, and every frightened little life we welcome, your memory will help guide us forward.

From your forever-safe place beyond this earthly life, may your beautiful spirit stay close as we build the refuge we wish had been ready for you.

Rest softly, sweet NanaBanana. So tiny. So perfect. So deeply loved.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵. 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀.

A new week, another meaningful milestone, and a look ahead for Artemis House. 💜

Our home base renovations are complete, and our final Georgia Department of Agriculture inspection is scheduled! We’re working toward welcoming our first few dogs in January 2027, with licensing and operational readiness guiding when we begin.

While we await the outcome, we’re working full-time to prepare the systems, processes, plans, and relationships that need to be in place before we can safely and responsibly welcome our first dogs.

An essential part of that preparation is building the community that will help us care for them.

We’ve updated our website to share our progress, what comes next, and the approach at the heart of Artemis House: helping dogs experience a felt sense of safety through compassionate, force-free care, while supporting the people beside them.

You’ll also find newly added information about fostering and volunteering. We’ll share more about both in upcoming posts.

I’ve poured so much of my heart into bringing Artemis House this far. To bring it fully to life, I need people who want to be part of it. Whether you have a safe home, time, a skill, or a connection to share, you could help make those first welcomes possible.

To everyone who has supported us, cheered us on, and followed along: thank you. Your encouragement means so much as Artemis House really begins to take shape.

Explore our updated website, and please share it with anyone who might want to join us on this journey to transforming lives.

https://www.artemishousefoster.org/

One step at a time, together, we’re preparing safe places for dogs who need us.

A Place to Heal. A Home to Belong.

Artemis House is a force-free, foster-based dog rescue in North Georgia helping vulnerable dogs feel safe enough to heal and come home— first to themselves, then to the people who will love them for life.
