Happy Update!

Liberty and Matilda were rescued from Butts County Animal Control when they were about 8 weeks old. They soon broke with Parvo virus which is extremely deadly when contracted by puppies. In fact, these two little girls had a third sister that didn't make it. Even with agressive treatment, there is about a 50/50 chance a puppy will survive. It's not uncommon to have parvo outbreaks in shelters where there are lots of dogs in a small space and lots of feces.

Michelle fought with them for a couple weeks trying to get them better. Their immune systems were so compromised they broke with ringworm too. They just couldn't catch a break!

Well, its been 8 weeks since we rescued them and we are excited to say that they are happy, healthy, and ready for adoption!!! Michelle fostered them and spent all her energy getting them better and then Donna took over to give her a break. Donna says they love to run around and play and are pretty much house broken!

Matilda and Liberty are 4 month old Lab mix puppies that are now fully vetted, healthy, happy and ready for their new forever homes. If you are interested in adopting them, please contact Michelle at 770-314-7302 or michelle@georgiahumane.org!
