Once a scrappy, street-smart tomcat, Buff Boy is now living his best life—neutered, fed, monitored, and safe thanks to a caring community and one powerful tool: a humane trap.

🐾 Neglect Uncovered in Dade County—But There’s Hope 🐾

We are deeply saddened to hear about the recent hoarding case out of Dade County. So many innocent lives, neglected and in need of urgent care. 💔

Executive Director, Tricia, visited one of our incredible partner organizations on Wednesday as they worked tirelessly to process and care for the dogs rescued from this heartbreaking situation. All these dogs arrived matted, filthy, and terrified —some had never known a gentle touch or felt clean skin under layers of tangled fur.

It was all hands on deck while staff carefully bathed them, clipped severely overgrown nails, shaved painful mats, and treated skin conditions caused by months—sometimes years—of neglect. Every snip of the scissors, every gentle stroke of the brush, was a step toward dignity and comfort.

These grooming sessions weren’t just about appearances—they were the beginning of healing, both physically and emotionally, for dogs who had endured so much.

💙 Want to help?

Make a donation to Georgia Pet Foundation. Your support allows us to sponsor vital spay and neuter surgeries for these dogs—breaking the cycle and helping ensure they never end up in another heartbreaking situation again.

The need is great but so is the opportunity to help.

Together, we can help stop the cycle.

🐾 Puppy Season in Georgia: So Many, Too Soon 🐾

It’s puppy season in Georgia but it’s not the joyful time people imagine. It’s heartbreaking. 💔

Shelters and rescues are drowning in unwanted litters. Mama dogs are being dumped, overlooked, and overwhelmed. Tiny puppies are coming in faster than we can keep up—many won’t make it.

💔 Rescues and County Shelters out of space, out of Fosters, and out of Time 💔.

This crisis is preventable. SPAY AND NEUTER SAVES LIVES.

Thanks to donor support and Georgia Pet Foundation license tag sales, Fix GA Pets provides life-saving grants to help fund free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries across the state.
But the need is bigger than the funding.

🚗 Every pet tag purchased and every donation made helps prevent the next litter.

If you want to make real change in Georgia:
✅ Fix your pets
✅ Fix the ones you feed
✅ Choose the Georgia Pet Foundation tag
✅ Donate to help us fix this at the root

Together, we can stop the suffering before it starts.

Leave a Legacy 🐾🐾 Name a Trap

Fix GA Pets is partnering with Athens Area Humane Society for our largest Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) event ever — helping more than 200 cats live safer, healthier lives.

But we can’t do it without you.

We’re raising $25,000 to purchase 100 Tomahawk humane traps and cover life-saving surgery costs — and we need your help.

🎯 Make your impact:
🐾 $125 – Adopt a Trap in Memory Of a beloved pet or cat lover
🐾 $200 – Sponsor a Trap + Surgery for 1 Cat
🐾 Every gift helps reduce suffering and prevent more unwanted litters

🌎 Why TNR Matters:
TNR is the most humane and effective way to manage and protect community cat populations. Unaltered stray and feral cats can reproduce quickly — just one female can lead to hundreds of kittens over a few years.

Without intervention, these cats face:
🚫 Overcrowded shelters and high euthanasia rates
💔 Disease, injury, starvation, and cruelty
🌪 Endless cycles of suffering for new litters

With TNR:
✅ Cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and returned
✅ They no longer reproduce
✅ Their lives improve and the population stabilizes
✅ Communities become safer and more compassionate

When you adopt a trap or sponsor a surgery, you’re doing more than saving one cat — you’re helping stop suffering at the source.

✨ Join us in building a legacy of compassion — one trap, one cat, one memory at a time.

Honor a beloved pet or animal lover today — and help Georgia’s outdoor cats live safer, healthier lives. We’re raising $25K for 100 humane traps + surgeries in our first TNVR effort — starting in Athens and spreading statewide. Adopt-A-Trap today!

☀️🔥 If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them! 🔥☀️

Your cats and dogs feel the heat just like you do — and sometimes even more.
Pavement burns paws. Cars become ovens. Shade and water are must-haves.

🐾 Keep pets indoors during peak heat
🚗 Never leave them in parked cars — even for a minute
🐶 Walk early or late when the ground is cool
💧 Always provide fresh water and a cool place to rest

Let’s keep our furry friends safe this summer! 🐕🐈‍⬛💦

🐾 Help Us Help Them: Georgia's Dogs Deserve Better 🐾

Right now, county shelters across Georgia are overwhelmed — rows and rows of dogs, stacked in kennels, often sharing runs, many with no time left. They’re in these shelters because there simply aren’t enough homes, and there’s not enough prevention happening at the source.

At Fix Georgia Pets & Georgia Pet Foundation we believe in prevention over euthanasia. That’s why we give grants to trusted on-the-ground partners to spay and neuter dogs before they ever enter a shelter. But we can’t do it without you.

💔 Shelters are out of space.
💔 Rescue groups are at their limits.
💔 Litters are still being born daily.

✨ Your donation directly funds spay/neuter surgeries for dogs across Georgia — reducing intake, easing suffering, and saving lives before the crisis begins.

👉 If you’ve ever wished you could help — this is your chance.
📍Donate today and be part of the solution.
