Friday AM Update: we just received word that we can give these pups until end-of-day TODAY to find placement. That means they have until 7PM today, Friday, August 7. Please do email if you plan on coming to meet one of them.
Atlanta, these dogs need you. 💔
Originally, each of these dogs had a euthanasia deadline of today, Thursday, at 7PM. No one came for them. We even stayed open an extra hour, hoping someone would walk through the doors...but still, no one came.
These are good dogs who deserve loving homes, time to decompress, and the chance to experience the life they've been waiting for. Euthanasia is always an absolute last resort, but we urgently need our community to step up.
Each of these dogs has received one final extension and must find placement by Friday, August 7 at 11AM. That's when our doors open. If you've been thinking about fostering or adopting, please be there when we open, ready to meet a dog and speak with staff.
Even better? None of the urgent dogs this week need to be the only dog in the home. Every one of them has the potential to live with another dog, and most attend playgroup regularly. You even got to meet several of them during today's Urgent Dog Playgroup Live.
If you've been waiting for a sign, this is it.
Fosters must live in Georgia. Out-of-state adoptions are welcome, but adopters are responsible for arranging transport.
📧 Fostering (and coming at 11AM): [email protected]
📧 Adopting (or out-of-state adoption): [email protected]
📧 501(c)(3) rescues: [email protected]
Week after week, this community accomplishes what once seemed impossible. These dogs are counting on us to do it again.
Please don't assume someone else will come. Be the someone. Share their faces, walk through our doors at 11AM, and help us make sure tomorrow ends with dogs going home instead of running out of time.
