Hello Fellow Rescue Friends,


We hope you had a nice weekend. It was very nice weather out here but the cold is sure to follow. We have some nice new furry friends to share with you. Please spread the word and let AC know if you can fit one into your wonderful home.

There is a Retriever mix there that is very friendly! He looks to be an Australian Shepard, Retriever mix as he has no tail but it’s a guess. His paperwork reads he is a Chow mix but we see no black on his tongue or gums and he was very eager to smile and show his pearly whites as you can see from his pictures J

There is a cute little Setter mix in K-8. We wish we could bring him home ourselves as he looks like he would make a great companion.

Also at the shelter is a Black Lab mix. He is a little on the big side and he would like to find a new home as well. He was owner surrendered but no info on him was given.

We lost one doggie, the Bassett mix. She looked to be under the weather when we were there and we were told she got worse. AC decided to take her to the vet to have her pts so she would not have to suffer.

Rescues!!!! 2 adorable puppies who look to be about 6 weeks old. Not pictured as well as 2 litters, one being 12 pups the other 6 pups went to rescues on Friday afternoon so they didn’t have to stay in the shelter over the long weekend. Thank you everyone for stepping up for these fellow furry friends. They will make it off to a great start in live because of you!

The Husky mix boy made it out to a new home via Adoption. Whoever chose to add him to their family got a nice dog! Congratulations to them J

Have a great week everyone and thank you for all of your help and teamwork to save these sweet fellows! :)

Thank You!

Louisburg NC: Franklin City URGENTS waiting to be adopted..

Some good news and some sad news. Sadly, the little Bassett was very ill. The shelter folks took her to the vet and they helped her cross over the bridge..she was very ill.



So there are two still left from last week and they are really in need of some help..Could you please spread the word on these pets?

So now let’s meet the new kids:





As always, the fastest way to pull any pet from Franklin is to physically go there and get them and there is NO pull fee. If you cannot go there then please call 919-990-1046
or email Linda at
ourfostersrock@aimisp.com or Julie at: heavenscent@aimisp.com.
Please note the new number. If no answer please leave a message. They will be checking it throughout the day but please contact animal control directly for any updated information and if you can help any of these hopeful souls. :)

Marietta, GEORGIA - "DALLAS" - 3 Legged Beagle - Needs loving home

In her email Christine writes:


Dear Alexi,
I'm sending this out in hopes that we can find someone to take in this absolutely wonderful happy boy. His name is Dallas and he is at the Cobb County Animal Shelter located in Marietta, GA. I volunteer at the shelter and spent hours yesterday (Sunday 1/14) with this great boy. Dallas is extremely happy, loving, so easy going with everyone and everything. He met many, many dogs and people while I had him out yesterday and all he did was wag his tail and grin :)

The reason this kiddo needs extra help (more so than other dogs in shelters) finding rescue/home is because he only has 3 legs. Unfortunately Dallas isn't using his remaining back leg all that much and chooses to scoot himself around rather than to walk. Yesterday I worked with him on using his back leg (used a towel as a sling or cupped his amputated leg with my hand.) He did great when he had some assistance. His remaining back leg isn't all that strong/muscular by my feel. I'm guessing it is because he isn't using it as much as he should have and thus it has weakened. Additionally Dallas is overweight and I believe if he lost some weight that would help him immensely. He will stand up when he has to potty and doesn't seem to have problems with that. Also want to mention that when he got tired from his workout with me, Dallas had no problems with me picking him up and carrying him around cradled like a baby (he was on his back in my arms.) I actually think he liked it and his little tail would wag so fast when I walked him past people and he received attention. He got lots of ooos and ahs!

I called the vet hospital that Dallas' former owner took him to and found out that he was born Aug. 03, 2005 (so he is only 1.5 years old.) His leg was amputated in April '06 because he had been hit by a car. Dallas is also neutered. He may have some allergies to the outdoors as his belly got a little prickly red and then more red all over after I took him outside for potty breaks and he rolled around in the grass.

I know everyone is full, but I'm spreading the word to all the beagle folks I know (or have looked up :) in hopes someone will be able to help or know of someone who can. I've also got a few of the vet offices I work with to ask around in hopes they'll find someone as well :) His old vet office said they'd spread the word far and wide as they remembered him and said he was a fantastic boy.

If anyone can take in Dallas, I can pull him and help set up transport and do whatever else I can to get this boy safely out of the shelter. Please call ( 678.522.9108) or Contact Us if you have any questions or can help. Please feel free to forward this on to anyone who might be able to help.

Thanks so much!

Chained dogs are OFF THE CHAIN!!!

Dear Alexi,
Thank you for caring... they are safe!


Thank you, and to all of those who reached out!!! Because of everyone's effort, they are off the Chainm and in a safe place where they will have food, water, love and shelter. Thank you all for your concern. It's when everyone works together like this, we can all make things happen and make a difference. Thank you all so VERY MUCH!!

A reputable rescue has offered to take them all on. If you'd like to make a contribution toward the organization, it will really help since the kids will need to be vetted and fixed!!

Thanks again everyone!!
