Graham is a very sweet and playful dog! He is one of our longest residents as he has been here since September of 2022! We took him on from another rescue, so he has not known much of the comforts of a home. He enjoys walks outside, playing with toys, and sleeping in crazy positions. He loves attention from anyone and everyone. He just wants to be loved. In his ideal home he would be the only pet as he loves all the attention to himself. He would do well with kids 10+ as he doesn’t know that he is a little to large to be a lap do. He would do best in a home with an active owner. His adoption fee is covered by an amazing sponsor. Please fill out an application to meet Graham!
Meet our beautiful girl Tipsy! She came to our rescue from a county shelter in rough shape. She was completely bald from mange and very neurologic and unable to get around. Over the last few months, we have been nursing her back to health. She now has a full coat of hair, and her neurologic status has improved significantly, but we believe that she has cerebellar hypoplasia. Cerebellar Hypoplasia comes in a variety of degrees from mild tremors and a drunken gait to significant limitations where cats are unable to walk or stand and complete normal tasks. Tipsy is somewhere in the middle. While she cannot walk very well, she can stand and she gets around very well by scooting herself from place to place. She does have some mild head tremors that do become more significant when she is excited. Due to her mobility limitation, Tipsy cannot get in and out of a litter box so she is pee pad trained. She knows to go over to her pee pads very reliably. Tipsy absolutely LOVES to be held. She starts purring instantly and would love to spend her day in your arms. Tipsy will thrive in a home that can understand her physical limitations but is looking for an incredibly sweet and loving cat. She stills plays like a kitten and wants to be loved! We believe Tipsy will do very well in a playpen or gated area when she is left alone so she can easily find her pee pads, food, and bed so she would be a perfect apartment kitty! She can certainly go to a home with other cats, but if there are dogs in the home, they will need to be laid back and very cat savvy since she will not be able to run and get away from a rambunctious dog.

CHEYLA'S STORY
Cheyla was a pit bull rescued by Dr. berkeridge while she was a veterinary student in Athens, Georgia. After being saved along with many other pit bulls when a dog fighting ring was shut down, she was detined to be euthenized being evaluated as too aggressive to save and domesticate. Dr. Berkeridge was asked to foster one of the dogs that were saved and she picked Cheyla, the lost cause given up by everyone else. Read about Cheyla's incredible journey from huddling under a bench in a shelter in Georgia to being the poster child of our rescue.
