What an awesome group! We appreciate Freedom For Fido! What a difference you have made in our community helping to get dogs off chains. 👏🐶

  We recently connected with Jackie Gilbert and have shared our conversation below. Jackie, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea? Driving around my local area in the North Georgia Mountains, I often saw dogs chained out without adequate...

Update from Fannin Canine Fund

Update from the Tuesday August 13, 2024 Fannin County Commissioners Meeting
The Commissioners noted The Humane Society of Blue Ridge did withdraw their offer of a one acre location to build the animal control facility.
We asked if they are looking for another site.
They said they are, but no specific plans for when a facility might be built.
Our fund will remain ready to support the funding of a facility when the board finds a site.
We remain very disappointed! 😔

Rescued! Perdita and her 3 little boys were transported today by Fannin County Barking Buddies to Atlanta Humane Society! Thank you for rescuing this family! For those who do not know, Atlanta Humane Society gives vaccines to the shelter each time we transport animals to them. We appreciate your partnership! 👏🐶🐈

We could not be more excited about this adoption! If you have followed Kratos/Kronos story from when he was at HSBR, and then was with Homeward Bound Pet Rescue, INC, you know this is a special dog who through no fault of his own has had a tough year. Everyone loved this dog and now he has a home of his own and has moved to Mississippi! We love you sweet boy! Congrats on getting a home! 💕. Thank you to everyone who played a part in his journey.

The Humane Society of Blue Ridge cat of the week is Missy. She is a three-year-old beauty who had to be surrendered by her owner because of housing issues. Missy has had a difficult time adapting to shelter life. She is not a fan of her fellow suitemates and spends most of her time trying to avoid them. Missy loves attention from people, and she has the sweetest musical purr you will ever hear. She would thrive in a calm home with no other pets. What she wants most of all is a warm, sunny window where she may enjoy peace and quiet. If you open your heart and your home to Missy, you will have a loyal, loving companion who will be eternally grateful to you. Stop by the Adoption Center at 171 Mineral Springs Road in Blue Ridge to meet Missy. For more information about this precious girl, contact the Adoption Center at 706-632-4357. Consider giving Missy the gift of your love and companionship.

Be sure to follow Fannin Canine Fund for all the updates. This post on their page is from May 2023. The HSBR newsletter below gave us all the impression that everyone was on the same page and moving forward so that is why we are now disappointed that the board wants to change the agreement. Hopefully all the misunderstandings can be worked out 🙏

OUR FUND WAS MENTIONED IN THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S UPDATE EMAIL! ⭐⭐⭐

Update: Animal Control Is Not On the agenda for tonight’s BOC meeting. If you want to, you can make a comment during the public comments. We are just hoping for a new facility in 2025 regardless of where it will be located in the county. Our shelter dogs need it. 💕🐶

Extremely disappointing news for the shelter dogs at Fannin County Animal Control and for our community. 🥲. Please contact the Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Blue Ridge and share your disappointment.

The previous Humane Society board of directors offered the property to the county for $1 but the current board changed their mind. Please attend the county meeting. We need a new Animal Control facility!

Meet Hoss! This gorgeous Catahoula mix boy has not been reclaimed and is now available for Rescue or Adoption. He appears to be less than a year old and is super sweet! He’s a goofy, friendly boy who is very social and happy go lucky! Rescue or Adopt Hoss! 💕🐶

The Humane Society of Blue Ridge cat of the week is Faye. She is a pretty 11-month-old calico kitty who knows how to be a charmer! Faye has a sassy nature, but she is still learning how to refine her social skills with people. She would thrive in a home where she may play to her heart’s content and chase toys that she is able to pounce on. Faye has learned a lot from the other older felines in her suite at the Adoption Center. She gets along with other cats once she gets to know them. She is quite friendly with new people. Pay Faye a visit at the Adoption Center at 171 Mineral Springs Road in Blue Ridge. For more information about this sweet girl, contact the Adoption Center at 706-632-4357. Give Faye the chance she deserves and make her a part of your loving family.

Courtesy post for our friends at Humane Society of Blue Ridge. Nala needs a home!
She is a 3 year old female and weighs about 60lbs. Nala’s mom was a Catahoula and the father was a Black Mouth Cur mix. She is very loving, good in the car, can be a couch potato because she loves being with her people and loves attention. She is a strong girl who enjoys running and playing and is learning fetch. Nala is in a foster home so contact HSBR to set up a meet and greet. 706-632-4357

Bandit is RESCUED! This is one of those dogs that we thought would get adopted quickly because he’s a beautiful hound but he sat here waiting and now he has a bright future ahead. Praying for a family soon in CT. Transports save lives! 🐶💕

After 85 days in the shelter our sweet Bandit is headed to rescue in Connecticut! This boy hit the lottery and will have a life he has never known! He will finally get to curl up on the couch with his person.🥰 Happy life sweet Bandit! We will miss you but wish you so much happiness.

This dog is fantastic! He has been waiting on a forever home for a while now. If you are looking for the best buddy, Kronos is your boy! Homeward Bound Pet Rescue, INC

Kronos! In an effort to keep updates of our HB pups, the volunteers have taken many photos to share on FB and other media. However, there are some things that never change. Every Kronos photo shows the same sweet smiling face every time! Kronos never has a bad day when he's with the peeps who care for him!

If you met him, you'd understand.
