It’s important to us to create a home environment so we don’t kennel our rescues. This helps us know what they

need from a home environment, so they can find a forever home. Thank you to our donors, adopters, or fosters for giving all dogs a fair chance at a happy life because all days should be Dog Days!

Ethan is the master of sad puppy dog eyes but we got a little bit of a smile out of him for this picture! He's also ready for a forever home!

Ethan is a young adult, 2-4 years old. He's all patched up and healed from being hit by a car with no long term issues. He's a cuddle bug but it's also energies. He'll let you know if someone is on the stairs before they even make it to the door!

Ethan's forever home shouldn't be an apartment or other attached living and no small kids please. He's good with most other dogs, cats are unknown. He's great about pottying outside as long as he's kept on schedule.

We don't know his breed but would guess there's surely poodle in the mix.

Interested in adopting Ethan? Please complete an application via our website www.dogdaysrescue.org

Long timer Ida needs immediate surgery!

We noticed some swelling below her left eye a few days ago. She was good about letting us check her out, my first thought was a tooth abscess so I looked in her mouth. There is something there but it's hard to say if it was an abcsess or a mass.

We got her into our partner vet yesterday and she agreed, it was either an abcsess or a mass but without surgery, it's hard to say which. When we got to the vet before her exam, the swollen area under her eye ruptured and she bled all over the floor. During the exam, it was determined that most of her teeth need extraction as well. The surgery will be extensive.

Here we are again with another surprise surgery. She has to have it though so we are asking once again for the villages help. If you can spare a dollar or two for sweet anxious Ida, we would be so very grateful!

Pictures and estimate posted below.

Thanks to the donations this week, we were able to get these babies spayed. Senior baby Lilo had pyometra so her's was an emergency surgery.

We are so grateful for the response to our cry for help. We still need help long term but our immediate needs are covered 💚.

03/10/2025

🚨 We are in CRISIS 🚨

The bank account is at $0. The emergency fund is at $0. Our personal funds are nearly tapped. This is very real and very serious. We need help and quickly.

We have 5 surgeries coming up this week. 2 Cushings tests need to be scheduled.

Will has an appointment to be assessed, bloodwork, etc. His wounds are so close to fully closed so we can then take care of the surgeries he needs.

Ethan just had surgery to repair his eye, he's recovering beautifully. That surgery, as well as a couple of other things, is a standing balance at our vet.

We have prescription food requirements for several dogs that need to be ordered today, regular food for the others. We need medications for the babies who take those. Some are rather expensive but they all add up quickly. We also need to order preventatives for, at least, April.

We can't even consider trying to help another dog until we get these things taken care of.

Please help us continue to do what we have done for so many years. Please help us to continue to save the lives of those in need. All donations are tax deductible and every dollar counts!

The quickest way for them to get to us is our website, Zelle, PayPal or Venmo but the donate button will work as well.

Thank you for spayed being a part of the solution and part of our village 💚

Jazz has recovered from surgery and is still waiting for her forever home.

Jazz is a sweet girl, she's had some basic training and is overall well behaved. She needs a home that understands the rigorous physical and mental needs of the shepherd breed.

Jazz does best with other male dogs and no small dogs. She isn't a fan of hyper in your face dogs either. We do introductions to assess compatibility. We haven't had her around cats but don't think it would be a good idea.

Jazz is fully vetted, current on preventatives and ready to find that special home!

If you have questions please let us know. If you think you may be the family for Jazz, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.dogdaysrescue.org

These 3 babies came in as an emergency. They had been dumped and the people who found them weren't allowed to have them in the house so they were out in the cold and rain.

A friend reached out trying to find a place to get them out of the storms and cold temperatures.

We found a temp foster to get them inside while finding a more permanent situation. Unfortunately, the temp foster backed out but we were already in route to pick them up and couldn't leave them out in this horrible weather.

Long story short, we've got 3 cute babies in need of a local foster and all their vetting. If you're in the Kennesaw area and able to foster, please fill out an application on our website www.dogdaysrescue.org , if you're able to donate a dollar or two toward their vet care it would be greatly appreciated!

***UPDATE***
Thank you all for pledging!
Another rescue was able to commit to her this morning before we did so she is safe, she just isn't with us.

For those who donated, if you'd like your donation back, please private message us and we'll get it back to you.
*********************************

**URGENT** PLEDGES NEEDED

We don't know what this little girl has been through but it's clearly been BAD.

What we do know:
She's at the shelter. They're estimating her to be around 2 years old. She's heartworm positive. She has a slightly distended abdomen and obvious very serious wounds.

What we need:
*Pledges to help with her vet care.

*A local foster who is able to get her to vet appointments as needed after her initial wound care. Kennesaw Georgia is vet's location. Foster applications can be found on our website, www.dogdaysrescue.org

Please post your pledge here if you're willing and able to help. We'll post ways to honor those pledges when/if we're able to get her safely out of the shelter.
Thank you in advance!

UPDATED AT BOTTOM
We limped into 2025 with, literally, a zero bank account but our vet balance paid in full. Personal funds covered what the rescue account didn't.

Our plan was to take things easy, step back from the emergency cases that call to us until we can build an emergency fund again but long timer Jazz has other plans for us.

Jazz has been with us for a vet long time waiting on just the right home. She's never been a chewer before now. Jazz ate a sizable piece of blanket overnight that requires obstruction surgery to remove.

The surgery is estimated around $5500. Obviously, we don't have that but Jazz can't sit with a blanket blockage either. Here's where we ask for your help. If you could donate a dollar or two, please, help us get Jazz and this bill taken care of. As always, we are forever grateful to our community, donors and supporters.

**We've raised just over $1500, we still need $4,000. Even $1 makes a difference!

*****Jazz's surgery went well and she's recovering nicely! He balance still needs to be covered though. We are just under $3,000 shy of the remaining balance. Please, donate a dollar if you're able, share if you aren't. *****

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! 💚

Update on our newest little guy with a bit of an attitude issue. His name is Benji, we aren't big fans and may change it but we're calling him Ben since he does know it.

We're also going to work on socializing to keep that fear to a minimum and not put him in situations that will put him under undo stress. Can you imagine being a "Christmas puppy" to a noisy house with kids most likely fighting over you, pulling at you, poking, yelling, so much going on then being tossed into a scary shelter? That's the definition of being set up for failure. We've got you now though!

He's had a few days to decompress in a quiet and relaxed foster home. He's come to trust his foster mom enough for her to do most everything, including cleaning his ears, without biting and great deal and his foster dad a good bit as well since he's the fun one that plays with him and his favorite ball or octopus stuffy!

It's pretty clear that someone has allowed Ben to rough play, not aggression but play, with his mouth. Certain playstyles and hand movements while playing make it obvious though that mouthy wrestling was definitely a thing at some point. He's a smart boy and is learning that that's not ok though!

When he first arrived, there was definitely some fear aggression. It was clear that Ben had Ben through some hectic, rough times and was terrified because of them. He needed someone to move slowly and calmly with him. Luckily we can appreciate slow and calm. We let him come to us on his time. He's got a safe area with a comfy crate, he's tethered when he's out and we're watching him so he can't get startled at a weird noise, hide behind something and get stuck out some crazy scenario like that. He's earning more freedom each day as his trust in people and his environment builds. He enjoys running in the backyard (on a long training lead) when the weather permits and he LOVES to play with toys!

He's not quite sure of the other dogs, we feel sure he's just not been socialized so we've started working with him on that. They're all bigger than he is, after all he's just 11 pounds, so things can be intimidating!

Now that he's comfortable with his foster, he'll see our partner vet on Monday. We think there's a possibility he may have a uti so we want to get that checked out and he's been rubbing his ears on his cot (that's why they got cleaned). We wanted to give him a few days to trust his foster before going straight to the vet though so it wasn't thoroughly traumatizing.

Thank you to everyone who donated toward his care. Hopefully he won't need anything special and we can get him neutered soon. We'll continue to work on his mouthiness but as of now, with us, it's all playful and he's responding to putting his mouth on toys instead of people well. Sometimes you can even see him stop and redirect himself. Smart little cookie!

We would like to wish everyone a SAFE and happy New Years Eve.

Reminder- today is the last day to make a tax deductible donation for 2024!

Don't forget that fireworks are likely to start early and go late. Please make sure your babies are secure, only go out to potty on leash even in fenced yards and have a comfortable calm spot to hide if fireworks upset them. If they get medicated, make sure to give it to them before the fireworks start.

If you go out and drink, please do not drive! Many companies offer free rides on New Years Eve.

Take a look at Will being a goofy as he usually is 😆

Christmas puppy has already landed in the shelter :'( . At just 6 months old and 11 pounds this baby is so terrified he's lashing out and won't let anyone touch him. We want to help him. Can you PLEDGE toward his vet care and possible behavioral or training needs?

He's safely in foster to decompress with us now!
We'll post an update when he's had a little time to decompress and we know more. For now he's fearful and mouthy. He'll get the calm, quiet time he needs to get his bearings.
Pledges can be honored via

Christmas eve and day were really hard for Rosa. Back to the vet we went this morning.

We discovered that she's been having seizures without us knowing. She's quiet and they've been short. We couldn't figure out why she randomly just started compulsively circling, walking into walls, falling down, etc. until we finally saw her have one. Rosa is a very aloof, keep to herself kind of girl, always has been and sleeps a lot as most older gals do.

The seizures and backlash were unforgiving for her Christmas eve and day, she had to be sedated to rest and keep from hurting herself while compulsively wandering in circles. It seems she's unable to see during this phase.

We're starting her on seizure medication and praying it works but we have a concern that she may be suffering from a brain tumor since this came on so suddenly and so fiercely.

Her foster family loves her dearly and she is particularly fond of her foster dad. Rosa had a very difficult time adjusting to being in a home when she came to us but he seemed to be a calming spot in her world.

We are so thankful to everyone in the that's helped with the care of our babies and hate to continue to ask but if you're able to donate a dollar or two toward Rosa or any of their care we would be so very grateful as we continue to work to catch up our vet bill (which continues to climb) by the end of the year.

Don't forget, many employers now match donations dollar for dollar. Please check with yours!

Tis' the season.
3 of our hospice/sanctuary dogs aren't doing well and have needed urgent vet care. The 4th photo, the tiny senior Chihuahua came to us because her owner wasn't able to care for her.

Fundraising hasn't been very successful lately and we need to get our vet bills caught up by the end of the year. Christmas is just a few days away and we know that money is tight for everyone but these babies had no idea what time of year it is or what it meant when they got sick. Please, if you're able to give just a dollar, that will help!

Each of their stories is below followed by ways to donate.

Twyla came to us as a baby, just a couple of days old, with her mom and sister. You may remember their story. Mom and sister were healthy and adopted into wonderful homes. Twyla immediately needed help thriving, she had to be syringe fed, she couldn't suckle from mom or a bottle. She didn't grow a fast as he sister. She was just a little different in many ways. We soon found out that Twyla suffered from malformed kidneys. We knew she'd have a shortened life but we've promised to make that life the best we possibly can. Fast forward to almost 2 years later and Twyla has enjoyed the life of luxury with her incredible foster family. Recently our vibrant, wild, active little girl has started losing weight. 2 days ago she showed us a vet different side of herself, she was wobbly, lethargic and not interested in doing anything. She was immediately seen by our partner vet, bloodwork done and a treatment plan put together. He diet has been changed, supplements added, daily fluids to address dehydration and we're reevaluating her daily.

Rosa came to us all the way from Baton Rogue as a senior on the euthanasia list. We were able to save her last minute. She was ok health wise but had trouble adjusting and interacting with her foster family. It took her nearly a year to truly adjust, apart being a nervous senior we decided it was best she become a Dog Days sanctuary dog. She's done well being aloof and living her life on her terms. Yesterday she had a scary episode at her foster home, it was as if she'd had full blown dementia when she had no signs in the past. She was inconsolable for several hours, stumbling, walking in circles through the house compulsively, leaning on walls to not fall and almost dragging a back foot. She was taken in for a full physical and bloodwork. The physical found nothing or of the ordinary and we're waiting for the bloodwork results.

Charlie hasn't been with us for very long but we love him dearly just the same. He came to us having cluster seizures. We ran tests, got medication established and got the seizures under control. At least for a time they were. Charlie had another bout of cluster seizures again early in the week. His foster parents have been able to catch them quickly and he's come out of them safely, though extremely taxing on him and needing attention after each. We've been very fortunate at this point that he's been able to bounce back from the seizures without any lasting damage.

The last picture is a little girl that came to us yesterday, her name is Lilo. She's 13 years old and her owner found himself in hard times unable to care for her. As you can see she got a wound on her cheek, it actually goes all the way through her cheek. She saw the vet today, she got bloodwork, her cheek addressed and medications, her ears were really bad so those cleaned and medicated, her a**l gland were very impacted so they were emptied as well. She has a mammary tumor, needs a dental with extractions and too be spayed. She needs a good groom as well. We'll see what he bloodwork results are to proceed.

Again, if you're able to donate a single dollar, it will help! All of the dogs in our care have had and continue to have costly medical needs.

Donations are 100% tax deductible.
