๐จCRITICAL UPDATE-SUGAR BUNS:
Sugar Buns is in surgery having his jaw repaired with a surgically implanted wire. The wire will remain in place for 4-5 weeks until his jaw is fully healed. Once removed, he will have full use of his jaw.๐
He is lucky we got him into surgery early on and were able to save his jaw.
Thank you to all who have donated and shared our 16 Death Row Shelter Dog Valentine Day Pull. We are desperately trying to raise the funds needed to save them by Monday. ๐
We have a long way to go, please keep sharing their stories, we can't do this without you.
Each dog is a minimum of a $1,000 commitment for vetting, surgical candidates and seniors will be substantially more.๐
The ones that don't have a URI yet will break with one in the next week. When a shelter is out of space, it is full, there is no other place to put animals. They don't want to kill them.๐

His story is heartbreaking and sadly not unfamiliar to us. Paris was brought to the shelter, after running his chip, they contacted the breeder who was linked.๐
After explaining that he has been at the shelter for 2 weeks and will be euthanized the ONLY thing the breeder asked-"is he neutered or can he be used as a stud?" And that basically sums up his sad and lonely life. And now, he's going to die with a broken heart and spirit.๐
He's depressed, confused and needs immediate vet care for the raging infection filled with maggots that has been brewing under his skin for a very long time. His time is up, he is on the kill list and only has us to save him. ๐

Sadly, Beau and Arrow have been at the shelter for 11 days on stray hold, nobody has come for them. They clearly belonged to someone, yet here they are 11 days later, not one call or inquiry.๐
They wait and wag their tails as people walk by, but their family has not come for them. They have been tossed aside like old luggage. They are clinging to each other for comfort and praying for freedom. These two have an entire life of licks and love ahead of them,๐
they are too young to be emotionally scarred by all of this. With your help we can give them their happily ever after.
Otter was forcefully removed after months of citations issued to his owners and no improvement. He is a plain and skinny brown dog who has been passed by week after week.๐
Otter clings to our volunteer's leg as he faces his destiny, euthanasia. He has been sitting at the shelter for over a week with the "plain dog curse." He's not a doodle, he's not hypoallergenic, he's just a plain old dog with a huge heart.๐
He's been neglected for years and now he's going to die alone. His time is up, he is on the kill list and only has us to save him.
๐จCRITICAL UPDATE- SUGAR BUNS:
Sugar Buns spent the night with out foster. Sadly, his injuries are worse than we originally thought. His jaw is broken and will require surgery to have a wire installed. The wire will remain in place for 4 weeks to allow his jaw to heal.๐
His leg is broken at the elbow and will need to be amputated. This baby boy has been through so much in a short amount of time, the vet believes he was hit by a car and then disposed of behind the dumpster where he was picked up and dumped at the shelter to DIE.
๐
Wiring his jaw is critical for repair, he is heading into emergency surgery this morning to both jaw repair and amputation. Sugar Buns needs all the love and support he can get. Prayers UP!

This is a CODE RED. Every hour of every day we are faced with dogs dying. It never stops. Weekends, holidays, national disasters, RESCUE DOES NOT QUIT. ๐
And neither do we. Deputy Dawg is a Doodle who was never taught house manners, never given any kind of training and is not a big (61 lb) dog who has found himself at one of Georgia's busiest kill shelters.
WE HAVE A HUGE MISSION AHEAD OF US TODAY, WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE.๐
ALL OF THESE DOGS ARE TIMESTAMPED TO DIE. WE ARE THEIR ONLY CHANCE AT SURVIVAL.
We were contacted by a shelter to ask if we would be able to save a few dogs off of the euthanasia list. When we visited the shelter and saw the anguish and desperation, we could not walk away.๐

When we visited the shelter and saw the anguish and desperation, we could not walk away. When we have SIXTEEN pairs of eyes begging, pawing at you from behind the bars, WE CANNOT JUST CHOOSE A FEW. ALL OF THESE DOGS ARE ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST due to a full shelter.๐
