Help sponsor dogs and cats to get them out of this situation!!!

Often rescues are worried about the cost of animals who have been without any medical treatment and with vetting and boarding costs so high, sponsorship money helps find rescues to accept the animals into their program. I have created a "Chip in" widget to help raise funds for these animals. All donations are made through Animal Action Rescue, a 501(c)(3), so they will be tax deductible. AAR will distribute the funds to reputable rescues that take any of these animals in. In the special instructions or by e-mailing GTigger719@aol.com (please title PIKE COUNTY HOUSE) you can chose to sponsor a specific dog or cat, or just "dogs" or "cats", or contribute to the general fund to be used as rescues need assistance.

**** SPONSORSHIP money raised so far has saved Casper, Missy, Bear, and Pretty Lady. $250 needed for the same wonderful rescue to pull Xena. Blackie was rescued off her chain but needs help to pay her vet bills (and just in time too, she's in heat!). Butchie, Princess, and Streak still don't have rescue pending, but donations will probably help since it will cover vet bills/transport. Please click on the "Chip in" widget below to help out.

Latest update

Some of you have been very involved in helping Rose and Bob of Concord, GA (about an hour south of Griffin, 2 hours south of Atlanta) find homes for the dogs and cats they’ve cared for over the past year. They live in a rented trailer and most of the dogs and cats were stray or just dumped on the property. With VERY limited funds, they’ve done the best they can. Over 20 dogs have been re-homed or taken into rescue. Countless cats have gone to rescue.

There are nine or ten dogs left and quite a few cats. Rose’s health is failing and Bob works 7 days a week and there is no one else to care for these animals. Rose realizes that she needs to find someone to help, once again. She brings some of the dogs into the trailer at night and some of them stay in the trailer all the time (it’s very crowded). The remaining dogs are chained to dog houses to prevent them from mating, fighting or running into the road. We have built 2 fenced areas and some of the dogs use those every day. Most of these dogs are between 2 and 5 years old (except Casper).


To update the site, the following dogs are available:

***Xena has rescue if we can raise $250 to cover her transport and vet work, please help get Xena off her chain, see how sweet she is in her video***

Xena, blue bulldog mix, female, not spayed.
Xena is a SWEET blue Pit mix. She's a big baby and only wants to play and wrestle all day long. She says she'll play fetch with her sometimes. This girl is about as sweet and goofy as they come.

***Missy was rescued thanks to your donations and a wonderful rescue***

Missy, small black dog, female, not spayed
I LOVE this girl. Missy is a sweetheart who is always so happy to see you. She just wants to hug you and be close. She may never get off her chain though :(

***Pretty Lady was rescued thanks to your donations and a wonderful rescue***

Pretty Girl (or Trixie’s Girl or Pretty Lady), medium tan dog, female, spayed
This girl was very sweet and submissive, though the camera scared her. She seemed playful but reserved.

***Bear was rescued thanks to your donations and a wonderful rescue***

Bear, small Corgi/Chow mix, female, spayed
Bear is a loveable goofy girl. This is Kathryn's favorite. She's goofy and sweet. Her and Kayla's mom can reach eachother on their chains and I was inbetween them while both jumped all over me playing and begging for attention.

**Blackie has a foster - needs a HOME and donations to help w/ her vet bills**

Blackie, small black dog, female, not spayed This girl is also a sweetheart who is always happy to see us. She LOVES her treats She looks to be an older gal, but she isn't, it's just her coloring. She deserves a good chain free home for the rest of her life. She still is pretty spunky and probably around 2-3 yrs old.

***Butchie NEEDS RESCUE!!***

Butchie, Jack Russell Terrier, male, not neutered
Broken-coated Jack Russel Terrier, male, about 2 years old. He is friendly with people, but reportedly chases cats with gusto and tries to pick fights with other dogs (even the big ones)..typical terrier, right?

**Casper was rescued thanks to your donations and a wonderful rescue*** Casper, senior Spaniel mix, male, not neutered
This boy is the only senior there and deserves a better place to live out his golden years.

Kayla still needs rescue

Kayla, medium brown dog, female, not spayed
This girl looks like a shepherd mix. She was very growly and standoffish.

Princess NEEDS RESCUE!!

Princess, medium-large whitish dog, female, not spayed
Princess is probably the most shy dog there, but is getting more and more eager to approach us. She is SOOOO happy to see anyone she knows, but still isn't sure about strangers. Not at all aggressive, she'll pee submissively if she thinks you're going to corner her. She wants to love so badly and gets very attached.

Streak NEEDS RESCUE!!!!

Streak, small-medium tan dog, female, not spayed
Streak is a sweetie. A little nervous about new people and definitely not a fan of the camera... but very approachable when the camera is safely tucked away

These dogs are Rose’s and she would like to keep them if possible:


Dallas, medium brown dog, male, neutered
Dallas is has a questionable personality. I think he's just very skiddish and hasn't shown any signs of aggression, but definitely not as comfortable with people as the other dogs are. He is one that Rose wants to keep.


Trixie, medium-large whitish dog, female, not spayed
TRIXIE-White Husky mix female. She is the ownner's personal dog (she states) and has the honored position of living inside the trailer. She is a mom to some of the others. She is reserved, but not aggressive. Owner does NOT want to give up this dog.

Last summer/fall, I started to take her dogs, one at a time, to get them neutered and vetted and return them. Each dog took over a week because of travel time and boarding time and my work schedule. I ran out of money, so only 3 dogs were done. I have tried to keep Rose in Frontline and Heartguard but I’m sure that’s gone, too.

Five of Rose’s dogs who found homes in the Northeast through Dogs Deserve Better are featured in the 2008 DDB calendar – before and after pictures.
