RESCUE HIGHLIGHTS
GRACE
POLK COUNTY, GA
ABBY
PAULDING COUNTY, GA
AUGUST 2017
A Polk County man was indicted on 107 counts of felony aggravated cruelty to animals and 107 counts of felony dog fighting in a case which began with police discovering 70 dogs at the Cashtown Road address. He served about 5 years of his 15 year sentence. We were there to assist, assess, and transport.
DECEMBER 2018
Her life was about to end.... in a tragic way. Her owner says she was "a crappy hunting dog". Perhaps she just wants to live inside and be loved as a companion dog. Not all Pointers are born to hunt. When we arrived, she was waiting in the metal hunting dog box (tin locker) in the back of the truck, her eyes and nose taking turns checking us out through her peep hole. Abby is living her best life in NY, thanks to her Advocates!
BAILEY
PICKENS COUNTY, GA
JUNE 2019
Bailey had been abandoned on a farm property and in her own for a very long time. Several of our Advocates fed, watered, and cared for her for months. We called in our dear friend and Great Pyrenees foster, Dr. Esbeck from Sawnee Animal Clinic, who helped to sedate, examine and treat her. She was finally rescued and then rehomed to a wonderful family. We were there every step of the way.

We do not REHOME dogs. Our mission is to keep loved dogs in their homes.
