Sasha has persevered!

She faced her demise for a second time: first the county shelter and then life-threatening bloat. She survived both with your help! It has been a team effort these past two days between sending PETs during a high risk surgery, the phenomenal emergency veterinarian care provided by VEG and donations to cover her life-saving expenses. Thanks to all who have helped Sasha!! 🙏

Here is the donate button if you would like to help her as well:

Sasha update:

Sasha is enjoying her morning ultra sound belly rub! If all continues to go well and she successfully eats this morning, we will be discharged this afternoon. This has been an expensive venture to save her life … for a second time … and we need your help.

Will you donate to Sasha’s $5 Friday? Any donation is more than appreciated and honored in saving her life! Sasha is ready to get back to the comforts of her foster home with your help. Many thanks for any donation you can give 🙏

Sasha update:

Thank you to everyone who sent PETs (Positive Energy & Thoughts) during and after Sasha’s surgery. It was definitely felt. 🙏

Surgery concluded just before 2am. The surgeon said it was “extremely complicated” because when the stomach flipped, the spleen flipped three times and the beginning of the intestines was “contorted”. What the surgeon initially estimated to be an hour surgery ended up being three hours. All that matters is Sasha persevered.

Today has been focused on weaning off of the pain meds and starting to walk. There was a team of doctors and staff present as Sasha took her first post surgery walk. After a rest, Sasha took a slow stroll outside to enjoy the sunshine. Now she is resting in a private room where we will spend the night for continued monitoring.

22/08/2024

Sasha update:

As of 2:00am last night, Sasha is out of surgery. She survived!🙏 Surgeon said next 48 hours are important monitoring. We will take shifts and stay with her until released. More info later today!

Sasha update:

Earlier today, Sasha’s foster mom noticed that Sasha was beginning to bloat. Because of her current medical conditions, we immediately took her to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital. After being examined, the veterinarian decided the best course of treatment to resolve her bloating is surgery.

Due to her high burden of heartworms, this surgery is very high risk, but it is her only chance to live.

We ask you to please send Sasha all of your PETs (Positive Energy & Thoughts) and prayers as she fights for her life. 💙🫶

11:15pm update:
For those sending PETs and prayers please keep them coming strong. The surgeon was able to untwist her stomach and spleen and her vitals are strong 🙏 Now, we wait and hope she pulls through.

Update!

Our sweet Mastiff now has a name! Long-time Lifeline Member and adopter, Kay, suggested her name be Sasha in honor of Varsha who saved her life by facilitating her safety to OPP.

Today is $5 Friday with all monies going to Sasha! This morning we consulted with Dr Shepherd about Sasha’s eyes which seem to really bother her. He will assess at her appointment and determine the best course of action given how malnourished she is in conjunction with being heartworm positive. Please consider helping Sasha by donating $5 to her upcoming medical expenses. We need your support to give her the care she deserves!

Every little bit counts, and your generosity could make all the difference for this sweet girl. Donate now and help us give Sasha a chance to find her forever home!

https://www.opp.ourpalsplace.org/donate/

Thank you for your support!💙🫶

16/08/2024

Update!

Our sweet girl has made it to her temporary foster home and is settling in great! As you can see from the video, the moment we took her out of the building, she knew she was leaving the shelter for her second chance at life!

This amazing girl is emaciated with her rib and hip bones showing, so her new foster mom is giving her small, very healthy meals. Her eyes are really bothering her so that’s the first item to address.

Stay tuned for more updates and an opportunity to donate to her $5 Friday tomorrow! All of your donations will help us cover her medical expenses! Her foster mom is going to sleep with her tonight to help her settle. Sweet dreams!💙🫶😴

Update:

This sweet girl is currently on her freedom ride to her temporary foster home!🎉💙

Shelter staff at Athens Clarke County Animal Services (2nd picture, from left to right, Kinzie, Carlie, and Denae) said their goodbyes and with help from our own volunteer, Varsha, we loaded her up, and hit the road! As you can tell, this gentle girl was extremely loved at ACCAS and we can already see why!

Stay tuned to see how she settles into her new foster home!💙🐶

Stay tuned!🙈💙

We’re on our way to Athens Clarke County Animal Services to help a very sweet girl find her second chance!

We were notified of a sweet, Mastiff blend at Athens Clarke County Animal Services who was scheduled to be euthanized. She came to ACCAS as a stray and no one came to claim this sweet girl. She has a plethora of medical issues (all treatable!) which unfortunately have put her in jeopardy. She tested heartworm positive, has entropion in both eyes (which can be corrected with surgery), and has a luxating patella (which also can be corrected by surgery). After consulting with our veterinarian, we concluded that we can help this gentle girl find relief and her forever home.

Stay tuned today as we travel to Athens and bring her to her temporary foster home! 🫶💙🐶

Meet Coco!

Last night, our intake team received a message from Sherry, a long-time volunteer at Cobb County Animal Services, letting us know that they were over-capacity and many dogs were in jeopardy. In this message, she told us about Coco, who had been in the shelter since May and her time was quickly running out. Susan, another dedicated CCAS volunteer, fought for Coco and was able to get her an extra 24 hours to get out before it was too late.

When we heard about Coco, we knew we had to jump into action and save her. We got there as soon as the doors opened and headed straight to her. She greeted us quietly in her run, and quickly opened up once we brought her into a bonding room. She gave us sweet kisses, loved getting scratches, and gently held a stuffed toy in her mouth.

By working as a team, we were able to save an innocent life today. From Susan fighting for Coco, to Sherry sending us a plea, and to our intake team meeting Coco as quickly as we could, teamwork was the true reason why Coco was able to walk out of the shelter today.

If you’re interested in meeting Coco, come to our Back-to-School Adoption Event this Saturday, August 10th!

During Camp O.P.P. we work to empower campers to help animals in need and resolve pet overpopulation.

Sydney attended our last week of camp and has already raised money for O.P.P. by setting up a lemonade stand. Sydney is donating the money earned to Laurel for her eye surgery. Thanks Sydney!!

In addition, her family has used our boarding services for years for their dog Kona which also financially supports our rescue. AND they just finalized their adoption of (former OPP resident) Ollie!!

Thanks, Sydney, to you and your family!💙🥳🐶

Meet Ollie!

This gorgeous lab mix is the most loving boy imaginable. He was found as a stray at the end of May, and was turned into Cobb County Animal Services. Sweet Ollie was constantly looked over by potential adopters and was in jeopardy of losing his life because he was at the shelter for so long. Volunteers at CCAS raved about how Ollie is such a good boy! He was definitely a volunteer favorite! The intake team at O.P.P. met him and fell in love with his cool, calm temperament.

At O.P.P., Ollie’s personality has truly begun to blossom. He loves going on walks with Camp O.P.P., spending time with his new doggy friends, and of course, eating treats!

Come meet Ollie on Saturdays and Sundays at our Pet Adoption Facility from 1-5!

Meet Mr. Rogers!💙

This friendly boy was found as a stray with another dog and brought to Cobb County Animal Services by a good samaritan. His best friend was adopted into a home but Mr. Rogers was alone and overlooked by adopters due to his dark coloring and unique look. Any dark colored dog, sitting quietly in the back of their cage has a higher likelihood of being looked over by potential adopters.

When Camp O.P.P. met him, they knew we had to help this amazing boy. Despite his circumstances, he met everyone with his award winning smile and a happy-go-lucky attitude! When asked to describe Mr. Rogers, campers said, “He’s super cute! He loves to stick his tongue out! He loves to hang out with people and he lays down and lets people pet him.”

As soon as he was brought to OPP his loving and silly personality began to shine though! Now he greets every guest that comes into our facility with a big smile and some good kisses! You can feel his radiant personality when you meet him and even through the video below! He’s so happy to be at O.P.P. and he is so excited to find his forever home! 💙🫶🐶

The program this week at Camp O.P.P. is “Helping Animals”, designed for our older campers. The day started with a trip to North Roswell Veterinary Clinic! Our campers got a tour of the clinic and got to observe Dr. Shepherd perform exams! Thank you so much NRVC for clearing your schedule and letting us come and learn with you!

Afterwards, we traveled to Cobb County Animal Services!

Our campers were welcomed and given a tour of the very full facility. Since this week’s camp program is about “helping” and solutions, the kids were told that we had 1 available space at our pet adoption facility that needed to be filled.

Our limited space is a tough reality, especially when seeing how full the county shelter is and how many dogs need help. After a problem-solving discussion, the campers figured out how to make it work with four dogs! So once again, OPP Math prevails! We loaded them all into the cars for their Freedom Ride and you could see the relief on all their faces. Their happy story doesn’t end here: now to find them forever homes so that we can continue to help more homeless dogs!

Stay tuned to hear more about our four new residents…!

Our Helping Animals Camp from July 15th-19th is a great way for rising 7th-9th graders to learn more about animal advocacy and animal-related careers! We believe it’s never too early to explore your options!

This camp has proven to be impactful on many campers who participate. Here’s what one of our previous Helping Animals campers and now long-time volunteer, Sophie, has to say about the impact it had on her:

“From a very young age, I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I knew I wanted to work with animals and I always assumed I would work in the veterinary field because I thought that was the only way.

Fortunately for me, I went to Camp O.P.P.’s Helping Animals Camp and it truly changed the trajectory of my life. I learned that I have more options than working at a Veterinary Clinic (which was a relief because math and science are not my strengths). It ignited my passion for animal advocacy that has only grown stronger in the 11 years that have followed. I started volunteering at Our Pal’s Place and never stopped, even after I went to college.

I went on to study Management at the University of Georgia and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree this past December. I learned I love non-profit management and marketing. There are so many ways to fuel my love for animals, and I’m so grateful that I learned that at such a young age. I cannot recommend Helping Animals enough to any middle schooler who loves animals!”

Looking for a fun summer camp for your rising 4th-8th grader? We still have a few seats available for our Rescue & Adopt camp from July 8-12!🥳☀️🐶

This camp combines fun, hands-on activities with the dogs of Our Pal’s Place with learning how rescue organizations operate. Campers will team up to create their own rescue organization which they will operate for the week. Through hands-on activities, they will experience intake operations and care-for their rescues including playing, walking and bathing them. At the end of the week, each rescue will pretend to “adopt” their dogs into homes through a hilarious role play by the camp counselors.
