We are SO thankful to everyone involved that helped Bruce come to safety! He is back with us but he NEEDS a foster home ASAP to decompress and heal.
Bruce is a senior boy who has been through a lot recently, as he was recently stolen from us. We are so beyond grateful to have him back. He is the sweetest couch potato ever, who finds enjoyment by snoozing his day away with his favorite hoomans. He is receiving slow kill heartworm treatment and desperately needs a place to live out his golden years in peace. He would do best as an only animal in the home while he adjusts back to a normal routine.
Can you save Bruce?

Huge thanks to Doughby's Pizza and More, Wild Heaven Beer, Lisa Collier, Autumn the bar manager and staff at Doughby's, and everyone who came out for a fun and successful Pups & Pints Night evening raising money for the rescue.
Penelope, Chexmix, Ludwig, and Duck are exhausted from the attention. Wild Heaven Beer was amazing and the food was delicious, you must try the street fries.
Athens Clarke County Animal Control is beyond full on dogs. There are far too many dogs than kennels and space will need to be made today. If you are considering fostering, now is the time! It saves not only the animal you choose to foster, but it also opens up a kennel for an incoming dog. We need your help! We will provide crates, food, and any other supplies you need! All we ask is for you to love on a sweet pup until they find their forever home ❤️

Shelby is in need of a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME! She appreciates your likes and comments, but NEEDS your shares to find a place to lay her fuzzy head.
_____
Meet Shelby! Shelby has had a rough go of it so far— she was kept outside and her owners didn’t give her very much attention. A Good Samaritan convinced the owners to let him take Shelby, and now we’re hoping to find a foster or permanent home for this mini German Shepherd/wannabe coyote/Standard American Petting Dog.
Shelby LOVES people! She is super submissive and is desperate to please-- doubly so if you’ve got a treat in your hand. She’s a moderate energy dog; her perfect day would involve a quick walk, hike, or playing ball in the yard, followed by a Netflix binge session on the couch. Really, this girl is happy doing anything, so long as it’s with her person. At the clinic, when she was getting her shots, every employee was charmed by how eager she is to please. In fact, it was a little tricky to get a blood draw at first, since she totally melted in the vet's arms.
Shelby is, unfortunately, heartworm positive, which means she DESPERATELY needs a place to rest while she undergoes treatment. She does not have a super bad case of heartworms, so treatment shouldn't be terrible, and the cost will be covered by Three Paws Rescue. She can't begin treatment, though, until she makes it into a foster (or forever) home!
Shelby is about 50 pounds and does well with chill, happy dogs. Still, she's a rough a tumble girl so dogs of a similar size or larger are probably best. She was a solid "medium" on her cat test-- I think she can absolutely live with dog-saavy cats, but will need a slow introduction and some separation time at first! While we didn’t have kids to introduce her to, she was perfectly happy having her tail and ears tugged on, feet meddled with, and face scrunched. Shelby does tend to jump out of sheer omg-you’re-here-to-pet-me-I-love-you joy. While she can absolutely be trained out of that behavior, families with small children might want to keep this in mind so no one gets inadvertently knocked down by Shelby’s love.
Are you able to foster Shelby, or give her a forever home? Shelby is located in the Atlanta, Georgia, area, but transport may be available.

MISS LILLI IS SAFE!!!!!!
THANK YOU to the outpouring offers for fostering!! We are so beyond grateful. Lilli gets the chance to have the amazing life she has deserved all along. Thank you to her incredible fosters for giving her a chance at life!!
Lilli will be getting x-rays today as well as getting spayed, and then we will prep her for her ACL surgery! Please consider donating to this girl’s hefty vet and surgery costs, as we have lots of special needs animals right now!
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! Your shares worked and Lilli is SAFE ❤️❤️❤️
#adoptdontshop #rescuedisourfavoritebreed #Lillithemamadog #fosteringsaveslives
We normally try to avoid euthanasia posts on here because we know it is not an easy thing to hear. But this time, we really need some help.
Meet Lilli. She is only two years old. All of her puppies have luckily been rescued, but if she does not find a foster by 12:00 PM on July 26th (tomorrow) she will be euthanized. She has so much life left in her and she did not come to the shelter just to be euthanized. We need a foster to help her live.
She is the sweetest dog. She is Heartworm Negative. She is dog friendly (we can check on cats). She is very mellow and gentle. She has a torn ACL that is causing her a lot of pain and she NEEDS a foster home to recover in. She will need to be on crate rest for about 3 months while her leg heals, but it is very manageable to do.
We will cover all supplies needed as well as all medical expenses. Lilli is a great dog and she deserves a chance at life. She deserves to know what it is like to not be in constant pain. She needs to see a life outside of a concrete kennel because the walls are closing up on her and her time is running out.
Can you save Lilli?

Our sweet girl Harper had a few growths come back (already), and we went ahead and got them removed to avoid any discomfort for this sweet girl. We want to give her the longest life she can have, with all the lovin’ from her awesome foster mama.
Originally, Harper was said to be a “hospice” case. After many visits with the specialist, Harper was deemed not terminal! We were so happy to hear that this girl had a lot of life left in her, so we decided to remove all of her masses (almost 30 of them!) in late March of 2019.
Unfortunately, Harper had several masses grow back, and she went through another surgery today to remove them. We were not expecting them to grow back so soon and we hope that Miss Harper will be tumor free for a long time now!
We are so lucky for Harper and for her wonderful foster mom for watching her growths and knowing she needed to see the specialist!
If you would like to donate to Harper’s bill, it would mean so much to us. Her second surgery alone costed us $1,000 and we want to help her continue to live a cancer-free life! We are entirely donation based and no donation is too small. (We also have 6 other hospice cases in our program currently!)
You can donate via PayPal (www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue) or on this post. Thank you so much for your support— Harper is so very grateful!!!

Sweet loving CARL was brought into the shelter with a face full of scars.
We are not sure how they were acquired, but we do know that he probably had a rough start in life.
Carl was not doing well in the shelter environment
so we sent him to foster and in two days he showed us a side of him that we never expected.
Here’s a little bit about CARL.
He is wonderful in the car.
He is an excellent listener.
He is perfectly QUIET AND CONTENT when there are no other dogs around.
He enjoys baths.
He was a perfect patient at the vets office.
He walks pretty well on a leash!!
He seems to be housebroken!
He is not destructive at all, and does not show any signs of separation anxiety.
All Carl wants to do is sit next to someone and know he is safe.
That is all.
We have tested him on leash with small dogs and he seemed fine, but it would be advised to always schedule a meet and greet prior to introducing him to any other dogs in your home.
Carl has not been cat tested.
Surely someone must be out there for this stellar dude! I can promise you won’t be sorry if you choose big ole’ Carl.

Forte has been with us in foster for awhile, so his adoption fee will be LOWERED or WAIVED to the most appropriate home for him.
We have had Forte in our program for over two years now, and we do not know why. He deserves a home more than anything. He is great with all people, and gets a little excited upon first meeting new people, but is awesome once he settles down and knows he is safe.
Forte would be a great guard dog or police training type dog, as he is EXTREMELY intelligent. He is crate and house trained, and will even do a few tricks for some good treats. He has the most gentle soul and would love an active household.
Forte is a super fun, 2/3 year old beautiful German Shepherd/ Retreiver mix. He is cat friendly and dog friendly for the most part, but he can be selective with some male dominant playmates. He does great with submissive dogs or small dogs that he can boss around. He is playful with his foster brother and sisters. His favorite game is to run and hope his doggo friends chase him.
Forte loves meeting new humans and to explore new environments. Forte is an excellent boy ready for adoption— get your hands on this adorable pup today!

Everyone meet Harper, the sweetest, most special pup.
Harper came to us with 33 masses and was determined terminal. Once she came into our care, we realized that her 33 tumors were causing her intense pain, as seen in the photo below. Harper’s masses were constantly bleeding and we knew she deserved to have a better life without being in pain.
We took Harper to our specialist, where she received intensive surgery. The amazing surgeons were able to remove ALL 33 masses, making Harper TUMOR FREE!!! Harper is still recovering, but she is doing so well. Her energy level is coming back, she is learning the new ways of her pain-free life. And even better news—Harper is no longer terminal because of this tumor removal!
Harper is living her best life, without tumors and a care in the world. Harper’s surgery was over $2,000, which is a lot of money for us, considering we rely on donations alone to keep our rescue alive. Please consider donating to Harper’s surgery (either directly through this post or at www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue), as she now is cancer and tumor free, and so that we can continue our mission of saving the most *special* pups like Harper. If you are not in the place to donate, please SHARE this post in hopes that someone can.
Harper, we love you always, and we are so beyond excited that you now have a second chance at life. ❤️
Zelda, we wish you the happiest life with your new furever family. You deserve the most love in the world and we are so happy that you finally have the best of homes ❤️ Happy tails, sweet girl!!
Dobby, the cutest bunny ever, wishes everyone a Hoppy Easter!!

This is an SOS.
MOAS is having a huge transport coming up and half of their dog runs have to be quarantined starting Wednesday. The dogs currently in those runs have nowhere to go. The shelter is currently full.
Dogs need out now. Fosters are needed more than ever. There are highly adoptable dogs there that deserve a chance to decompress in a home.

Everyone meet Zelda, the happiest pup ever!
Zelda was seen dumped and we have no idea why. This girl is perfect! She is about 42 lb fully grown, the perfect medium size! She has striking facial features that led animal control and us to believe that she is a lab/greyhound mix. She is fantastic with children of all ages, she is completely house and crate trained, and she walks well on a leash. She loves other dogs, completely ignores cats, and loves to cuddle!

LOST CAT- REWARD
My indoor cat Moose was lost on Friday 4/12 from the Pulaski heights area (between prince and burrow st). He is a small, male, neutered cat.

He is a brown tabby/bengal mix with a whitish spot under his chin and black marble-swirls on his sides & a black stripe down his back.He has green eyes and a very high pitched (shriek like) meow. Under normal circumstances he is very friendly.

Meet our newest rescues! These gals were dumped on someone’s porch and the lady was a Good Samaritan and took them to the vet. That is when we heard about them. These kittens are only about 4 weeks old, so they still require around the clock bottle feeding and care. It’s a good thing they came to us and we have awesome fosters willing to take on these sweet babies. Kitten season is quickly approaching, if you have ever thought about fostering now is the time to sign up!

Today, we lost a really special dog.
Thor came to us from a poor quality breeder. He was heartworm positive, had many neurological issues, and could hardly stand.
We brought Thor into our care because we knew he needed help—badly. His hair was terribly matted, he was filthy, so terrified of human touch. We immediately got Thor vaccinated and started him on slow kill heartworm treatment.
Over the last few weeks, Thor experienced love for the first time in his life. Our co-founder, Kelvin Ling, gave Thor the chance at life that he deserved all along. Kelvin, we are so beyond grateful for you and all that you do for this rescue. Because of Kelvin, Thor finally knew what it felt like to be cared for in his final days.
Unfortunately, Thor extremely regressed in the past few days, and today, we lost him. Our hearts are completely shattered.
Please don’t buy from breeders. Thor was only 5 years old at the time of his passing and his issues were already so advanced. There are so many shelter and rescue dogs needing homes already.
Our hearts go out to you, Thor. We love you and always will. Fly high buddy, you were the most special (and you always will be). You are loved more than ever.
If you would like to donate in honor of Thor and our special needs animals, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, please share this post in his honor. We love you so very much Thor.
Thank you for my precious baby boy! He’s the best ever!!!

Welcome, Hopper!
Many thanks to Athenspets - GA and Phil Hughes Honda for saving this senior’s life.
Hopper was a Good Samaritan surrender to UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital. He had a broken hind leg with an open wound and needed to be seen immediately.
Hopper is now in a loving foster home that is helping him recover from this trauma. He is currently unavailable for adoption, but will be available once his leg is healed.
If you are interested in Hopper, you are still more than welcome to reach out before he is fully healed to ask about his status.
Thanks again to everyone that helped this boy receive all the care he needs!
Zeke, our cover photo for some time now, has been adopted!!! Happy tails Zeke!
Now it’s Raffe’s turn!!
Raffe came to Athens Clarke County Animal Control a few months ago with a terribly embedded collar. Given her condition upon arriving to the shelter, one would assume that she would be a little apprehensive to humans. However, for Raffe, she was the friendliest dog no matter the condition she came in.
Raffe loves to be loved. She is such a sweet dog. She enjoys other dogs (such as the lovely Stan in the video), but would love to be the shining star in her foster or forever home. Raffe deserves a forever human. We really do not know how she is not adopted yet!!

Another busy weekend for Three paws rescue. We rescued 4 bottle babies who are just days old. Neonatal kittens are the most vulnerable animals in shelters because they require around the clock care that the staff is not able to provide. This is why fostering is so important!! Without a foster willing to take in these babies they would have faced a tragic fate. A big thanks to the foster to stepped up to take in these little guys ❤️. We are desperately in need of supplies such as KMR, miracle nipples, and kitten food to help us get through this kitten season.

Raffe is a beautiful, wiggly girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Raffe loves to bask in the sunlight and play with the doggo friends in her foster home. She is about one year of age and is completely crate and house-trained. Raffe is good with children and would do well in a home with them.
Like a lot of our cases here at Three Paws, Raffe’s story is a little different. She came to animal control a few months ago with a terrible ingrown collar, but quickly received the medical attention she needed and now it doesn’t phase her at all. This girl is so eager to please and would love a home very soon. She would love a fenced-in yard, so she can get all her wiggles out 🙂

HELP SAVE SUNSHINE!
Sometimes, it’s the hardest on the best dogs.
Sunshine came to the shelter last fall with very little hope left in the world. She was used for breeding for years on end (her entire life). She never knew what it was like to have a home. To have someone love her right. She never even knew that there was a life beyond the disaster she had lived through... until one day, animal control officers picked her up in poor condition and brought her the shelter. We quickly discovered that Sunshine was severely underweight and heartworm positive, but for the first time in her life, Sunshine had a chance. A chance she very much so deserved.
It wasn’t hard to fall in love with Sunshine. Even from the first time I met her at the shelter, she wiggled her body and wagged her tail as if no person had ever done any harm to her. After everything she went through, it still didn’t phase her. Nothing did. She had every right to hate me and every single thing in this world for doing her so wrong, but she didn’t. She was so full of love, so representative of her name. She was, and is, truly remarkable.
Sunshine loves every little thing in this world, but for some reason this world wasn’t so good to her. After recently completing heartworm treatment, Sunshine was almost ready to find her forever home, until a few days ago.. Sunshine became very lethargic and began vomiting. She was immediately rushed to the emergency vet, where she has been since the evening of March 12th, 2019. After a series of scans, tests, and bloodwork, we have discovered that Sunshine is diabetic and is in early stages of diabetic shock. She also has likely had diabetes all of her life. Sunshine has been receiving treatment and IV fluids and insulin, and we are hoping to get her home very soon.
If you would like to donate to Sunshine’s medical care, please feel free to donate on this post or at www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue. Her vet bills are estimated at about $3,000.00. We, as a rescue, are completely funded on donations. We typically are very aware of medical cases before they come to us, but this one shocked (and terrified) us all. Please consider donating to Sunshine’s care so we can get this girl back home and safe in a warm, cozy bed. If you can’t donate, please share this post with your friends to spread Sunshine’s story.
And so kitten season begins... we were contacted about this mama and her five babies being found the other day. We quickly reached out to fosters to see if they would welcome this family into their home. We were lucky enough to find a foster for them! However this will not be the last of kittens this season and we will desperately need fosters. Moms and babies are super fun and easy to foster! The mom does all the work the first few weeks of the kittens life and all you have to do it take care of mom. Plus it is a really fun experience getting to watch the kittens grow up. If you would be interested in fostering mamas & babies or just kittens please sign up on our website! You will be helping save lives!

Yesterday, dog heaven gained a beautiful angel.
A few months ago, we rescued Coco Jones, a heartworm positive 12 year old pittie from Athens Clarke County Animal Control. We knew she did not have much time and she deserved to spend her golden days in a warm, comfy home.
Coco found an incredible foster family, who we are eternally grateful for, as they gave her so much love in her final days.
We want to thank everyone for supporting Coco Jones. We are so very grateful for all of her supporters, such as Barbells For Bullies and Athenspets - GA. Coco would not have had a chance without our amazing animal-loving community.
Thank you so much to every single person that shared her story. She had a wonderful few months with us.
Coco Jones, we love you so very much. Thank you for being the best dog. We will never forget an animal as special as you. Rest In Peace sweet girl.

Hi everybody! My name is Dobby. I am one of the newest additions to Three Paws, but my case is a little different...
You see, Dobby came to the shelter near the beginning of January, but was at the vet for about a month getting extra TLC. When he first arrived, he was too weak to stand and his body temperature was so low initially it took 2 hours under a heated blanket to get it high enough to register on a thermometer.
Dobby was diagnosed with Atypical Addison's Disease, meaning he needs two medications daily. Although relatively inexpensive (around $40/month), we would love to raise some funds for Dobby's medical care, as there is a risk that Dobby may develop primary Addison’s disease and require further medication in the future.
We at Three Paws have recently rescued a lot of *special* animals. We greatly appreciate any contribution, whether that be $5 or $100.
Help us save more animals like Dobby!
Oh Rosie.. We just don't know why you haven't found your forever home yet. Rosie is awesome. She has been through a lot, and she deserves a permanent place to call home.
Rosie LOVES other dogs (and kitties)! She would love a home with some other pups but she does just fine on her own. She is about one year of age and is crate and house-trained. She does best with a strict potty training routine and abides by it. Rosie is the perfect medium size, at about 45 pounds. She would also love a home with kiddos!

Two Valentine's Days have come and gone for Forte and he is still searching for a family to love and give kisses to. Will you please help find Forte the family he has long searched for?
Forte is between 2-3 years old, smart and playful but he is selective about what dogs he will call his friend. He can be very strong minded and is better with submissive dogs whom he can boss around and not feel threatened.
He would be great as a police dog or a dog with a job.

*In search of a perfect forever home*
Sunshine is the most perfect, gentle pibble. She is amazing with every creature she has ever encountered (dogs, cats, humans (and kids), goats, chickens, and horses). Sunshine is about 3-4 years old and is halfway through her heartworm treatment.
If you are looking for a couch potato that completely ignores cats and adores other dogs, Sunshine is your gal. She is a very low energy pittie, but that could be due (in part) to her heartworm treatment. She loves to play with other dogs and would love a home with other critters in the household. If you are looking for a new best friend, consider Sunshine.

Meet our newest rescue kitty Ezra! He was dumped on the side of the road and was found by a Good Samaritan. Now he is in our care and is receiving lots of love! Despite his past he is the sweetest most loving kitten💕
Meet Winterfell,
He is the sweetest little American bulldog mix. He is about a year old, 50lbs and fully grown. He gets along with dogs and cats just fine. He is a gentle giant who just wants cuddles and kisses. How can you say no to that sweet face?!?

Another amazing rescue story! Meet Buster! He was found by one of Athens local feral cat care takers. He had been living on the streets for months. Kelly Bettinger with campus cats worked endlessly bating Buster for months until she was finally able to trap him. Thank you so much Kelly for taking the time and effort to trap this sweet boy!! Buster is a sweet shy boy who was obviously dumped by his previous owners. He is now in a foster home learning how to love again and gaining confidence. It takes a village to save animals and we are so thankful for all the amazing animal advocates and care takers! We are also very thankful for those who donate to our non-profit without donations we wouldn’t be able to help save animals like Buster or the many dogs we’ve pulled from death row.
Update: adoption pending!
Meet Triscuit!

This holiday season, we are especially grateful for our wonderful Co-Founder, Kelvin Ling. Not only did he deliver eight kittens to their new homes before the holidays, but he has continually watched over our foster animals while our fosters are out of town for the holidays. Kelvin, we are so lucky to have you as a part of our team. Thank you for your endless compassion, since so many shelter animals get to sleep in a warm bed tonight because of you. Three Paws is forever thankful for you.
Kitten, boy - 3 months. MCIKEY comes with the bed, bowls, toys, and history of shots.
I rescued Mickey when he was just a few weeks old. I was hopeful to give him a good home, I found out, I'm allergic to cats. :( wish I could keep him, he would be great as a Christmas gift for your girlfriend/boyfriend.
Penelope is a very happy girl. We recently added Miss Penelope to the Three Paws family, and she is fitting right in to her foster home! What we know about Penelope so far:
-She is fantastic with BOTH dogs and cats, and lives with both in her foster home
-She is fixed and vetted
-She is about 4 years young
-She specializes in cuddles, wiggles, and kisses
-She is great with children
-She is house and crate trained
-She has a calm demeanor and a moderate energy level, which again is helpful when interacting with children
-She is a pocket pittie, currently at 31 lbs
-She is looking for a furever family, as she is such a good girl.

Today we heard our local Athens shelter was full.
The first pup that I instantly thought of when hearing of a full shelter was Merlot. Merlot doesn’t come up to the front of his kennel, so if he looks unfamiliar, that’s probably why. He’s very scared and everything is very, very new to him. Merlot came in as a stray, with hardly any hair (we thought he was silver when he first came in). His coat has filled out a lot, and he looks so much better now! Merlot no longer has to be scared, as he now has a chance at life in a lovely foster home.
With the help of the lovely Aimee Bruce Bell and Madison Webb, Merlot made it out of the shelter today. Welcome Merlot, to the lovely Three Paws Rescue family, we are so excited that we get to find you a forever home!!
It's almost Black Friday - one of the busiest shopping days of the year! As you are searching for deals, we are in need of supplies for cats and dogs. Please consider helping us restock our supplies so that we can ensure our fosters and animals at shelters have everything they need.
This Black Friday, score deals at smile.amazon.com/ch/82-4565987 and AmazonSmile donates to Three Paws Animal Rescue Inc.
On this, the rescue's first Thanksgiving we are very thankful for our 3P family of fosters, adopters, animal hospital teams, supporters, volunteers, animal control and shelter staff, animal advocates who without you we wouldn't be able to rescue.
Best Wishes for a Bountiful and Blessed Thanksgiving from us to you and your pack.

Anyone need a kitty? We have some super adoptable and friendly kitties available. We are so shocked that Zoey, the tortie in the last photo, has been with us so long! She is our longest kitty resident. She loves other cats, dogs, and people.
Hey everybody.. remember me?? Long time no see. That’s because I’ve been having the time of my life in my forever home with a family that loves me to death. I’ve been spoiled with the most treats and love I could have ever imagined. And yes, I finally have a couch to lay on, and I am such a couch potato.
And for those of you who don’t know who Cookie (FKA Charity) is.. let’s just say it’s been a long time coming. So happy this girl is finally in a home with people that adore her as much as we do.
We wish you the happiest of tails, Sweet Cookie. It’s so good to see you in a home after 7 years.
Please let us know if you can foster this soon-to-be momma! She does not deserve to give birth in a shelter, she is a puppy herself!

And we welcome Miss Madison to our rescue. She is about two years old, a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix, and loves other dogs, cats, and kids. Please adopt her so we can alleviate poor Madison from having a dog named after her.

We saved a cat or 10 today. Yay for safe kitties. We couldn’t stand to see a full shelter at the lovely MOAS Pets , so we decided to help out in the best way we could! If anyone is looking for a kitten, we have a ton. Fluffy, calico, tabby, you name it! Thank you to the wonderful fosters and Co-founders that made this possible. We love kittens, especially safe ones 🙂 We even got the luxury of rescuing Pippin, now Pumpkin, the longest resident at the shelter. Happy tails to lots and lots of kitties!!

We are SO thankful to everyone involved that helped Bruce come to safety! He is back with us but he NEEDS a foster home ASAP to decompress and heal.
Bruce is a senior boy who has been through a lot recently, as he was recently stolen from us. We are so beyond grateful to have him back. He is the sweetest couch potato ever, who finds enjoyment by snoozing his day away with his favorite hoomans. He is receiving slow kill heartworm treatment and desperately needs a place to live out his golden years in peace. He would do best as an only animal in the home while he adjusts back to a normal routine.
Can you save Bruce?

Athens Clarke County Animal Control is beyond full on dogs. There are far too many dogs than kennels and space will need to be made today. If you are considering fostering, now is the time! It saves not only the animal you choose to foster, but it also opens up a kennel for an incoming dog. We need your help! We will provide crates, food, and any other supplies you need! All we ask is for you to love on a sweet pup until they find their forever home ❤️

Shelby is in need of a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME! She appreciates your likes and comments, but NEEDS your shares to find a place to lay her fuzzy head.
_____
Meet Shelby! Shelby has had a rough go of it so far— she was kept outside and her owners didn’t give her very much attention. A Good Samaritan convinced the owners to let him take Shelby, and now we’re hoping to find a foster or permanent home for this mini German Shepherd/wannabe coyote/Standard American Petting Dog.
Shelby LOVES people! She is super submissive and is desperate to please-- doubly so if you’ve got a treat in your hand. She’s a moderate energy dog; her perfect day would involve a quick walk, hike, or playing ball in the yard, followed by a Netflix binge session on the couch. Really, this girl is happy doing anything, so long as it’s with her person. At the clinic, when she was getting her shots, every employee was charmed by how eager she is to please. In fact, it was a little tricky to get a blood draw at first, since she totally melted in the vet's arms.
Shelby is, unfortunately, heartworm positive, which means she DESPERATELY needs a place to rest while she undergoes treatment. She does not have a super bad case of heartworms, so treatment shouldn't be terrible, and the cost will be covered by Three Paws Rescue. She can't begin treatment, though, until she makes it into a foster (or forever) home!
Shelby is about 50 pounds and does well with chill, happy dogs. Still, she's a rough a tumble girl so dogs of a similar size or larger are probably best. She was a solid "medium" on her cat test-- I think she can absolutely live with dog-saavy cats, but will need a slow introduction and some separation time at first! While we didn’t have kids to introduce her to, she was perfectly happy having her tail and ears tugged on, feet meddled with, and face scrunched. Shelby does tend to jump out of sheer omg-you’re-here-to-pet-me-I-love-you joy. While she can absolutely be trained out of that behavior, families with small children might want to keep this in mind so no one gets inadvertently knocked down by Shelby’s love.
Are you able to foster Shelby, or give her a forever home? Shelby is located in the Atlanta, Georgia, area, but transport may be available.

We normally try to avoid euthanasia posts on here because we know it is not an easy thing to hear. But this time, we really need some help.
Meet Lilli. She is only two years old. All of her puppies have luckily been rescued, but if she does not find a foster by 12:00 PM on July 26th (tomorrow) she will be euthanized. She has so much life left in her and she did not come to the shelter just to be euthanized. We need a foster to help her live.
She is the sweetest dog. She is Heartworm Negative. She is dog friendly (we can check on cats). She is very mellow and gentle. She has a torn ACL that is causing her a lot of pain and she NEEDS a foster home to recover in. She will need to be on crate rest for about 3 months while her leg heals, but it is very manageable to do.
We will cover all supplies needed as well as all medical expenses. Lilli is a great dog and she deserves a chance at life. She deserves to know what it is like to not be in constant pain. She needs to see a life outside of a concrete kennel because the walls are closing up on her and her time is running out.
Can you save Lilli?

Our sweet girl Harper had a few growths come back (already), and we went ahead and got them removed to avoid any discomfort for this sweet girl. We want to give her the longest life she can have, with all the lovin’ from her awesome foster mama.
Originally, Harper was said to be a “hospice” case. After many visits with the specialist, Harper was deemed not terminal! We were so happy to hear that this girl had a lot of life left in her, so we decided to remove all of her masses (almost 30 of them!) in late March of 2019.
Unfortunately, Harper had several masses grow back, and she went through another surgery today to remove them. We were not expecting them to grow back so soon and we hope that Miss Harper will be tumor free for a long time now!
We are so lucky for Harper and for her wonderful foster mom for watching her growths and knowing she needed to see the specialist!
If you would like to donate to Harper’s bill, it would mean so much to us. Her second surgery alone costed us $1,000 and we want to help her continue to live a cancer-free life! We are entirely donation based and no donation is too small. (We also have 6 other hospice cases in our program currently!)
You can donate via PayPal (www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue) or on this post. Thank you so much for your support— Harper is so very grateful!!!

Sweet loving CARL was brought into the shelter with a face full of scars.
We are not sure how they were acquired, but we do know that he probably had a rough start in life.
Carl was not doing well in the shelter environment
so we sent him to foster and in two days he showed us a side of him that we never expected.
Here’s a little bit about CARL.
He is wonderful in the car.
He is an excellent listener.
He is perfectly QUIET AND CONTENT when there are no other dogs around.
He enjoys baths.
He was a perfect patient at the vets office.
He walks pretty well on a leash!!
He seems to be housebroken!
He is not destructive at all, and does not show any signs of separation anxiety.
All Carl wants to do is sit next to someone and know he is safe.
That is all.
We have tested him on leash with small dogs and he seemed fine, but it would be advised to always schedule a meet and greet prior to introducing him to any other dogs in your home.
Carl has not been cat tested.
Surely someone must be out there for this stellar dude! I can promise you won’t be sorry if you choose big ole’ Carl.

Lovey has a lot of love to give and it not stingy with it. He has been with us for a little over two and a half weeks and has settled into a routine just fine. This mild mannered guy enjoys the company of his humans, snuggling on the couch, napping in bed or just chillin’ outside to keep us company. He is great with cats and other dogs, and even kiddos! He is a medium energy boy who loves to go on walks, play fetch and tug o’ war. He loves playing chase and wrestling with his doggy friends. He is good in the car, doesn’t mind getting a bath, walks well on a leash, isn’t a big barker and is crate trained and housebroken. What more could you want? Give this special guy a forever home, he will not disappoint you!

We are thrilled to share the news that our long lost “dog cat” Moe has been found after 8 months of being missing. He was found 2.7 miles from where he was lost and he must have a story to tell. Thank you to the family who found him, help him get on the road to being healthy, and scan him for a microchip.

Forte has been with us in foster for awhile, so his adoption fee will be LOWERED or WAIVED to the most appropriate home for him.
We have had Forte in our program for over two years now, and we do not know why. He deserves a home more than anything. He is great with all people, and gets a little excited upon first meeting new people, but is awesome once he settles down and knows he is safe.
Forte would be a great guard dog or police training type dog, as he is EXTREMELY intelligent. He is crate and house trained, and will even do a few tricks for some good treats. He has the most gentle soul and would love an active household.
Forte is a super fun, 2/3 year old beautiful German Shepherd/ Retreiver mix. He is cat friendly and dog friendly for the most part, but he can be selective with some male dominant playmates. He does great with submissive dogs or small dogs that he can boss around. He is playful with his foster brother and sisters. His favorite game is to run and hope his doggo friends chase him.
Forte loves meeting new humans and to explore new environments. Forte is an excellent boy ready for adoption— get your hands on this adorable pup today!

Forte has been looking for his forever family for 782 days. He is a 3 year old sweet boy who has had a tough time finding a family to call his own. He gets too excited when he meets people, but can you blame him? He has been looking for a long time.
Forte prefers a submissive and calm four legged friend who he can boss around during playtime. When he is not running around the yard, he likes to nap on a couch or be up in your lap snoozing.
Please help Forte find a family of his own

**Graphic Photo Warning**
Everyone meet Harper, the sweetest, most special pup.
Harper came to us with 33 masses and was determined terminal. Once she came into our care, we realized that her 33 tumors were causing her intense pain, as seen in the photo below. Harper’s masses were constantly bleeding and we knew she deserved to have a better life without being in pain.
We took Harper to our specialist, where she received intensive surgery. The amazing surgeons were able to remove ALL 33 masses, making Harper TUMOR FREE!!! Harper is still recovering, but she is doing so well. Her energy level is coming back, she is learning the new ways of her pain-free life. And even better news—Harper is no longer terminal because of this tumor removal!
Harper is living her best life, without tumors and a care in the world. Harper’s surgery was over $2,000, which is a lot of money for us, considering we rely on donations alone to keep our rescue alive. Please consider donating to Harper’s surgery (either directly through this post or at www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue), as she now is cancer and tumor free, and so that we can continue our mission of saving the most *special* pups like Harper. If you are not in the place to donate, please SHARE this post in hopes that someone can.
Harper, we love you always, and we are so beyond excited that you now have a second chance at life. ❤️

LOST CAT- REWARD
My indoor cat Moose was lost on Friday 4/12 from the Pulaski heights area (between prince and burrow st). He is a small, male, neutered cat. He was last seen wearing his pink and green collar that has his name & my phone number on it. It is a breakaway collar and may no longer be there. He is a brown tabby/bengal mix with a whitish spot under his chin and black marble-swirls on his sides & a black stripe down his back.He has green eyes and a very high pitched (shriek like) meow. Under normal circumstances he is very friendly.
If you see a cat that looks like this please call me any time! 704-408-5837. Reward for any information that leads to his return!

Meet our newest rescues! These gals were dumped on someone’s porch and the lady was a Good Samaritan and took them to the vet. That is when we heard about them. These kittens are only about 4 weeks old, so they still require around the clock bottle feeding and care. It’s a good thing they came to us and we have awesome fosters willing to take on these sweet babies. Kitten season is quickly approaching, if you have ever thought about fostering now is the time to sign up!

Today, we lost a really special dog.
Thor came to us from a poor quality breeder. He was heartworm positive, had many neurological issues, and could hardly stand.
We brought Thor into our care because we knew he needed help—badly. His hair was terribly matted, he was filthy, so terrified of human touch. We immediately got Thor vaccinated and started him on slow kill heartworm treatment.
Over the last few weeks, Thor experienced love for the first time in his life. Our co-founder, Kelvin Ling, gave Thor the chance at life that he deserved all along. Kelvin, we are so beyond grateful for you and all that you do for this rescue. Because of Kelvin, Thor finally knew what it felt like to be cared for in his final days.
Unfortunately, Thor extremely regressed in the past few days, and today, we lost him. Our hearts are completely shattered.
Please don’t buy from breeders. Thor was only 5 years old at the time of his passing and his issues were already so advanced. There are so many shelter and rescue dogs needing homes already.
Our hearts go out to you, Thor. We love you and always will. Fly high buddy, you were the most special (and you always will be). You are loved more than ever.
If you would like to donate in honor of Thor and our special needs animals, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, please share this post in his honor. We love you so very much Thor.

Welcome, Hopper!
Many thanks to Athenspets - GA and Phil Hughes Honda for saving this senior’s life.
Hopper was a Good Samaritan surrender to UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital. He had a broken hind leg with an open wound and needed to be seen immediately.
Hopper is now in a loving foster home that is helping him recover from this trauma. He is currently unavailable for adoption, but will be available once his leg is healed.
If you are interested in Hopper, you are still more than welcome to reach out before he is fully healed to ask about his status.
Thanks again to everyone that helped this boy receive all the care he needs!

Zeke, our cover photo for some time now, has been adopted!!! Happy tails Zeke!
Now it’s Raffe’s turn!!
Raffe came to Athens Clarke County Animal Control a few months ago with a terribly embedded collar. Given her condition upon arriving to the shelter, one would assume that she would be a little apprehensive to humans. However, for Raffe, she was the friendliest dog no matter the condition she came in.
Raffe loves to be loved. She is such a sweet dog. She enjoys other dogs (such as the lovely Stan in the video), but would love to be the shining star in her foster or forever home. Raffe deserves a forever human. We really do not know how she is not adopted yet!!

Another busy weekend for Three paws rescue. We rescued 4 bottle babies who are just days old. Neonatal kittens are the most vulnerable animals in shelters because they require around the clock care that the staff is not able to provide. This is why fostering is so important!! Without a foster willing to take in these babies they would have faced a tragic fate. A big thanks to the foster to stepped up to take in these little guys ❤️. We are desperately in need of supplies such as KMR, miracle nipples, and kitten food to help us get through this kitten season. If you would like to donate here is our amazon wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ZQVQOHQNI4EC?ref_=wl_share

Everyone meet Raffe!
Raffe is a beautiful, wiggly girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Raffe loves to bask in the sunlight and play with the doggo friends in her foster home. She is about one year of age and is completely crate and house-trained. Raffe is good with children and would do well in a home with them.
Like a lot of our cases here at Three Paws, Raffe’s story is a little different. She came to animal control a few months ago with a terrible ingrown collar, but quickly received the medical attention she needed and now it doesn’t phase her at all. This girl is so eager to please and would love a home very soon. She would love a fenced-in yard, so she can get all her wiggles out 🙂

HELP SAVE SUNSHINE!
Sometimes, it’s the hardest on the best dogs.
Sunshine came to the shelter last fall with very little hope left in the world. She was used for breeding for years on end (her entire life). She never knew what it was like to have a home. To have someone love her right. She never even knew that there was a life beyond the disaster she had lived through... until one day, animal control officers picked her up in poor condition and brought her the shelter. We quickly discovered that Sunshine was severely underweight and heartworm positive, but for the first time in her life, Sunshine had a chance. A chance she very much so deserved.
It wasn’t hard to fall in love with Sunshine. Even from the first time I met her at the shelter, she wiggled her body and wagged her tail as if no person had ever done any harm to her. After everything she went through, it still didn’t phase her. Nothing did. She had every right to hate me and every single thing in this world for doing her so wrong, but she didn’t. She was so full of love, so representative of her name. She was, and is, truly remarkable.
Sunshine loves every little thing in this world, but for some reason this world wasn’t so good to her. After recently completing heartworm treatment, Sunshine was almost ready to find her forever home, until a few days ago.. Sunshine became very lethargic and began vomiting. She was immediately rushed to the emergency vet, where she has been since the evening of March 12th, 2019. After a series of scans, tests, and bloodwork, we have discovered that Sunshine is diabetic and is in early stages of diabetic shock. She also has likely had diabetes all of her life. Sunshine has been receiving treatment and IV fluids and insulin, and we are hoping to get her home very soon.
If you would like to donate to Sunshine’s medical care, please feel free to donate on this post or at www.paypal.me/threepawsrescue. Her vet bills are estimated at about $3,000.00. We, as a rescue, are completely funded on donations. We typically are very aware of medical cases before they come to us, but this one shocked (and terrified) us all. Please consider donating to Sunshine’s care so we can get this girl back home and safe in a warm, cozy bed. If you can’t donate, please share this post with your friends to spread Sunshine’s story.

And so kitten season begins... we were contacted about this mama and her five babies being found the other day. We quickly reached out to fosters to see if they would welcome this family into their home. We were lucky enough to find a foster for them! However this will not be the last of kittens this season and we will desperately need fosters. Moms and babies are super fun and easy to foster! The mom does all the work the first few weeks of the kittens life and all you have to do it take care of mom. Plus it is a really fun experience getting to watch the kittens grow up. If you would be interested in fostering mamas & babies or just kittens please sign up on our website! You will be helping save lives!

Both of them passed their cat and dog tests, both are getting fully vaccinated tomorrow. Both are heartworm negative. They NEED a foster--ASAP!
We are all about saving lives, but we cannot do this without a little help from you guys.

Yesterday, dog heaven gained a beautiful angel.
A few months ago, we rescued Coco Jones, a heartworm positive 12 year old pittie from Athens Clarke County Animal Control. We knew she did not have much time and she deserved to spend her golden days in a warm, comfy home.
Coco found an incredible foster family, who we are eternally grateful for, as they gave her so much love in her final days.
We want to thank everyone for supporting Coco Jones. We are so very grateful for all of her supporters, such as Barbells For Bullies and Athenspets - GA. Coco would not have had a chance without our amazing animal-loving community.
Thank you so much to every single person that shared her story. She had a wonderful few months with us.
Coco Jones, we love you so very much. Thank you for being the best dog. We will never forget an animal as special as you. Rest In Peace sweet girl.

Hi everybody! My name is Dobby. I am one of the newest additions to Three Paws, but my case is a little different...
You see, Dobby came to the shelter near the beginning of January, but was at the vet for about a month getting extra TLC. When he first arrived, he was too weak to stand and his body temperature was so low initially it took 2 hours under a heated blanket to get it high enough to register on a thermometer.
Dobby was diagnosed with Atypical Addison's Disease, meaning he needs two medications daily. Although relatively inexpensive (around $40/month), we would love to raise some funds for Dobby's medical care, as there is a risk that Dobby may develop primary Addison’s disease and require further medication in the future.
We at Three Paws have recently rescued a lot of *special* animals. We greatly appreciate any contribution, whether that be $5 or $100.
Help us save more animals like Dobby!

She does best with a strict potty training routine and abides by it. Rosie is the perfect medium size, at about 45 pounds. She would also love a home with kiddos!

Forte is between 2-3 years old, smart and playful but he is selective about what dogs he will call his friend. He can be very strong minded and is better with submissive dogs whom he can boss around and not feel threatened.
He would be great as a police dog or a dog with a job.

*In search of a perfect forever home*
Sunshine is the most perfect, gentle pibble. She is amazing with every creature she has ever encountered (dogs, cats, humans (and kids), goats, chickens, and horses). Sunshine is about 3-4 years old and is halfway through her heartworm treatment.
If you are looking for a couch potato that completely ignores cats and adores other dogs, Sunshine is your gal. She is a very low energy pittie, but that could be due (in part) to her heartworm treatment. She loves to play with other dogs and would love a home with other critters in the household. If you are looking for a new best friend, consider Sunshine.

Kelly Bettinger with campus cats worked endlessly bating Buster for months until she was finally able to trap him. Thank you so much Kelly for taking the time and effort to trap this sweet boy!! Buster is a sweet shy boy who was obviously dumped by his previous owners. He is now in a foster home learning how to love again and gaining confidence. It takes a village to save animals and we are so thankful for all the amazing animal advocates and care takers!

Today we heard our local Athens shelter was full.
The first pup that I instantly thought of when hearing of a full shelter was Merlot. Merlot doesn’t come up to the front of his kennel, so if he looks unfamiliar, that’s probably why. He’s very scared and everything is very, very new to him. Merlot came in as a stray, with hardly any hair (we thought he was silver when he first came in). His coat has filled out a lot, and he looks so much better now! Merlot no longer has to be scared, as he now has a chance at life in a lovely foster home.
With the help of the lovely Aimee Bruce Bell and Madison Webb, Merlot made it out of the shelter today. Welcome Merlot, to the lovely Three Paws Rescue family, we are so excited that we get to find you a forever home!!

Hey everybody.. remember me?? Long time no see. That’s because I’ve been having the time of my life in my forever home with a family that loves me to death. I’ve been spoiled with the most treats and love I could have ever imagined. And yes, I finally have a couch to lay on, and I am such a couch potato.
And for those of you who don’t know who Cookie (FKA Charity) is.. let’s just say it’s been a long time coming. So happy this girl is finally in a home with people that adore her as much as we do.
We wish you the happiest of tails, Sweet Cookie. It’s so good to see you in a home after 7 years.

Please let us know if you can foster this soon-to-be momma! She does not deserve to give birth in a shelter, she is a puppy herself!

And we welcome Miss Madison to our rescue. She is about two years old, a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix, and loves other dogs, cats, and kids. Please adopt her so we can alleviate poor Madison from having a dog named after her.
To adopt the beautiful Madison:

**Note: The human Madison Webb is not available for adoption, but she says herself that the dog Madison is just as awesome**

We saved a cat or 10 today. Yay for safe kitties. We couldn’t stand to see a full shelter at the lovely MOAS Pets , so we decided to help out in the best way we could! If anyone is looking for a kitten, we have a ton. Fluffy, calico, tabby, you name it! Thank you to the wonderful fosters and Co-founders that made this possible. We love kittens, especially safe ones 🙂 We even got the luxury of rescuing Pippin, now Pumpkin, the longest resident at the shelter. Happy tails to lots and lots of kitties!!
