Our sweet boy Wally got to go on his first pup cup date!
This boy still hasn’t had a single meet and greet 😞 We don’t get it. He’s good with dogs, met a dog savvy cat and did well, has had obedience training. He lovvvvvves toys 🧸 and we’d love for him to have a home with his own people and own toys, but we feel like we’re failing him. He really needs everyone’s help to get him seen by sharing and commenting on this post 🙏
Wally is only around 40lbs, and about year old. He’ll come with a complimentary training session so that whoever adopts him will learn everything that he’s learned and his cues ❤️ He’s fully vetted, just waiting for the right person to come along who will give him a chance.
If you’re interested in meeting Wally or talking to us more about him submit an application at www.releashatlanta.com
There have been many requests for updates on Cosmo and even some people concerned that we’re letting Cosmo suffer. The update that we have for you is not exactly the one we were hoping for and trying to wait for, but will hopefully give all of the Cosmo followers out there a little bit of peace 🤍
Cosmo is feeling so much better than what he was in some of the earlier videos that we shared of him. But unfortunately is not successfully getting over and staying over the pneumonia like we’d hoped. When he’s on antibiotics and nebulizers he feels great, eats great and plays but as soon as we stop those he starts coughing again. His foster stays on top of it so he is not getting as sick as he was before we’re starting meds back. Right now he’s on a longer consecutive dose of the antibiotics and nebulizers while we wait on an appointment with a specialist to see if we can figure out what’s going on with him.
Please rest assured that he is not, and will not suffer unnecessarily. His quality of life will always be our number one priority. But right now he’s HAPPY, and he’s showing us that he wants to fight. So we’ll fight right along side him and make sure that whatever time he has - whether it be years or weeks- is special and full of love.
We appreciate the outpouring of compassion for Cosmo and hope that we can have answers to share with you all soon. We know that his specialist appointment will include diagnostics as they try to piece together the puzzle. If you feel led to donate to Cosmo’s visit, we would be grateful beyond words. Yes, Cosmo is just one dog. But we made a commitment to him when he came to us that we plan to do everything in our power to keep. To get him healthy, and find his happily ever after 🏡

This ADORABLE girl got her freedom ride late yesterday and is settling into her foster home as we speak 🥰
Right now we think she’s probably around a year old, and weighs around 13lbs. So far she’s been friendly and sweet to everyone, but maybe a little scared of the big dog in the house. She’s brand new there though so we’ll give her some time to settle in, have her spayed and caught up on all vetting and then we’ll be looking for a perfect family for her 💛
Her name is Malina, and we’ll be sure to post on our pages when she’s ready for applications! 👀 💻 Stay tuned!
Our poor Wally has still gotten zero applications 😢
He’s done well with cats, dogs and kids, has obedience training, is crate trained.
He’s young and healthy. Fully vetted. Only weighs around 40lbs.
What are we missing? We feel sure there’s a home out there for him somewhere. Can you share to help us find that for him?
To meet him or get more information submit an application at www.releashatlanta.com

🌟 Meet Asha, the adorable pup who is wishing on a star for the perfect home! 🌟
Asha is a sweet 13-week-old girl who will likely grow into a medium-sized dog (though that’s just our best guess!). She’s a fast learner, already picking up on potty training and simple commands, but as a puppy, she will need a patient home to continue her training.
Asha does well in her crate for up to 3 hours and has been great with the dogs, cats, and the child in her foster home. She needs someone who is home frequently during the day for potty breaks and a home with a fenced yard for her to explore.
If you’re ready to make Asha’s wish come true and welcome this sweet puppy into your life, please apply today!

Hope and Roxy getting in some exercise before the storms ⛈️
Both girls will be available for adoption soon! Stay tuned for more information 🐾❤️
We’re hoping Wally can ride on Midge’s coattails and maybe get some interest? He’s had zero applications 💔
Wally is the sweetest boy! He loves other dogs, loves toys, and has completed obedience training so he can be the best pup for his forever family! Wally is around a year old and only weighs 40lbs, making him a really great size for anyone!

Have a new puppy or adult dog?
THIS is what you should be doing with them. Training is one the best ways to build a relationship with your dog, and it can be as simple as just a few minutes a day.
Asha’s foster mom is on top of things and setting a great example for us to share 😍 She took Asha to her first training class this week, and look how fast she picked up on things! Even as babies these animals are so smart 💕
Asha will be available for adoption soon if you’re looking for a puppy who’s off to a great start!

Cosmo update!!! 💫
Cosmo was released from the vet today and got to go back to his foster home! He’s still on meds but much perkier and eating better. So hopefully we can get him over this, get some weight on him and then start the search for his forever home 🏡
To all who have prayed, donated, shared and cheered him on 🥹 THANK YOU!!!! We are so grateful for all of your positive energy!!
We know everyone has been rooting for Cosmo. He’s been healing in his foster home, doing seemingly relatively well other than not eating quite as much as we wished he would. Until yesterday when he quit eating all together and seemed a little less energetic than normal. We rushed him up to our main partner vet where we learned that his white blood cell count was triple what it should be, he was anemic and his chest X-ray showed a significant recurring pneumonia despite the antibiotics he was sent home on from the emergency vet.
We are heartbroken for our boy, although we know he’s in good hands. He has the sweetest spirit and was still giving us those nubby tail wags that we love when we left him yesterday. This is a lot for any dog to go through. But he is spunky and happy and we’ll keep fighting as long as we need to, and as long as he keeps telling us he’s willing to fight too. He is not just a homeless dog. He is LOVED. And we plan to do everything we can to make sure that his story doesn’t end here.
So whatever you do when someone you love is sick, please do it for Cosmo today. Whether you pray or send positive thoughts and wishes ….. he needs it all. And we promise to keep everyone updated along the way ❤️
Our girl Pepper still has zero applications 😞 So we’re going to keep showcasing how awesome she is until the right person sees it!!
Pepper has been in basic training and has been doing so well that the trainer wanted to see what else she could do! So they have started working with Pepper to pick things up on command, with the goal being that she’ll learn to hand it to her owner. Pepper is very food motivated and so fun to work with, and just look at how much fun SHE’S having!
Pepper is such a sweet girl! And she needs YOUR help to get her seen by sharing this post!
Pepper is around 5 years old, and weighs about 50lbs. She’s dog friendly and seems to potty trained. Total catch right? To meet Pepper submit an application on our website

Meet Hope 🩷
Our shelters that we work with frequently know us well. When this precious, 3 month old baby came into one of the busiest metro shelters in Georgia- they knew who to call. One of our fosters has a soft spot for the mange pups, and as soon as we sent her this video it was an immediate “YES! When can I get her?”
She’s finished her stray hold now, has been to our vet and been started on their treatment plan. She’s still so itchy right now, but her foster is a pro at this and has it all under control.
We know we ask for help often. We don’t want to, but we run 100% off of donations and we can’t say no to these kiddos that need us so much. That’s why we’re here. If you could send even just a few dollars for Hope, we’d be so grateful! The old saying rings just as true as ever… “every donation adds up” and we do everything we can to make sure your donation does as much good as possible.
To help Hope use any of the following methods

Friends, we’re in trouble‼️🆘
Thursday afternoon our sweet Cosmo boy (who has struggled with weight gain, a terrible skin infection and diarrhea since he came to us) vomited and started acting very out of character. His gums were pale and his belly was slightly distended and he was not at all himself. We rushed him up to the emergency vet where they told us that he had Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus (GDV). Basically, his stomach had flipped 💔 This condition is extremely dangerous as not only can nothing move through the stomach, but blood flow is also restricted to the area which causes tissue death if not fixed fast enough. The spleen can also sometimes be involved.
The quote for the surgery was $9,000-$11,000. That is an astronomical amount for a rescue our size. But to know Cosmo is to love him. Despite what he’s been through and what he was going through that night, he is the sweetest, gentlest, most loving boy who was still giving us tail wags while this was all going down. Many people would have said that we were crazy. That we could save so many other dogs with that money. But we looked at Cosmo and knew without a doubt that he was worth it.
Cosmo had emergency surgery that night, and the next morning we got a good report from the surgeon. He was barking and spinning circles excited to see people walk up to his cage. But by the afternoon the surgeon called us back and said that Cosmo was having trouble breathing and had to be put in an oxygen chamber 😞 it appeared that he had aspirated on gastric contents sometime during the recovery period and now has aspiration pneumonia 💔 Our sweet boy has been on iv antibiotics and in the oxygen chamber all weekend….. its been very touch and go.
Cosmo’s hospital stay will be several thousand on top of the quote for surgery. We can’t do this alone 😞 we need you all BIG time on this one and we hope that you’ll think Cosmo is worth saving too!! We know that the amount we’re trying to
The girls that we posted earlier today (Trolley - the small one and Missy - the bigger one) are LOVING life outside of the shelter. This what your donations, transport volunteers and foster homes do ♥️ Trolley and Missy are not yet ready for adoption but will be soon! Keep an eye on our website for their availability 🐾 www.releashatlanta.com
WARNING ⛔️ GRAPHIC VIDEO ⛔️
This little guy is being emergently transported to our vet as we speak. The story that we got is that he was neutered at the shelter two days ago and adopted. He now has bleeding and extensive bruising all over his body which can be seen in the video. The people who were adopting him from the shelter have now backed out. We don’t know if we can save this pup, but we want to try!!!! Will you help us?
