We currently have a few stories in the running for a grant:
- Topher! Foster mom Laura rescued Topher from a high-kill shelter after his elderly owner turned him in. He was adopted by Lindsay and Wes in Virginia where he is now training to become a therapy dog! He is probably one of the nicest dogs we have ever rescued.
- Matilda! Matilda, a black puppy, was rescued by GHS from a high-kill shelter with her siblings. They all broke with Parvo and one died. Luckily, Matilda was a fighter! She caught the eye of Karine in Maryland and it was love at first sight!
- Peaches! Peaches lived in a feral colony on Georgia Tech's campus. She was starving, and even though she was so wild, we decided to remove her and try to domesticate her. She turned out to be one of the best cats on the planet and lives with Mary's parents in North Carolina.
- Lacy! Lacy is our poster child for anti-tethering. She got a tie-out stuck around her leg and freed herself. She was picked by animal control who contacted GHS to rescue her. She had to have her leg amputated and all these horrible experiences didn't weigh her down one bit. She found a new forever home with Coalition to Unchain Dogs volunteer, Ed, and his two other dogs!
- Josie! Josie was rescued by GHS from a high-kill shelter. She contracted Parvo and struggled to make it through! Then, she found the best home ever with Valerie who is the owner of Best Fit Pet Services. Valerie and Josie hit it off so well, Valerie has since started volunteering and fostering for us!
