Three Paws Animal Rescue

Our first surgery of 2025 was an intense one. If you feel compelled to donate, we would greatly appreciate it.

Georgina is George’s mom. She is the cutest, sweetest dog. She had a rough day yesterday. She had her spay, nares resected, soft palate resected, a laryngeal sacculectomy, and some teeth pulled. Plus, last week she had her exam, bloodwork, a f***l, a urinalysis, and her shots. The resections and the sacculectomy will help her breathe better going forward.

To date, her veterinary care has cost $1,444, and we aren’t done yet. Though this is costly, it was all necessary to truly give Georgina a better quality of life and get her one step closer to begin the search of her forever home.

Any donations are greatly appreciated and helpful! Thank you!

🐾 Help George Get the Surgery He Needs! 🐾

Meet George: a 5-month-old French Bulldog puppy with a sweet soul and an unbreakable spirit!

Since the day he opened his eyes, George has faced ongoing eye issues that have caused significant pain and discomfort. Despite the best efforts of his former owner and veterinarian to save his eye, it is clear that the only way to give George relief and prevent further complications is to remove his right eye. Aside from his enucleation (eye removal) and regular veterinary care, George needs to have his soft palate and nares resected to help him breathe easier.

These procedures will be an expensive undertaking for our small rescue, but we couldn’t turn our backs on this precious boy! We're reaching out to our compassionate community to help raise $1,500 to help George.

💙 Every dollar makes a difference. 💙
Whether you can contribute $5, $10, or more, your donation will help George get the surgery he needs to start his new life, free from pain. If you can't donate at this time, please share his story with your friends and family – sometimes spreading the word is just as important as a donation.

Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and generosity. Together, we can make a world of difference for George!

Rav (Ravioli) had a meet this past weekend but unfortunately he was more playful than the applicant’s resident dog was ready for 😞 It’s always so hard for them when they wait so long for a meet and greet and then it doesn’t work out.

Ravioli has the funniest, silliest personality and would love another playful dog or could be an only dog. He’s around 2 years old, has a clean bill of health from the vet and has had obedience training with the ladies at Georgia Canine. A complimentary training session is included for his adopters. He’s a great size at only 32lbs and he can’t wait to be your best friend!

Submit an application to meet Ravioli at www.releashatlanta.com

And please share this post for Rav! As much as he loves his trainers and loves learning, he’s SO ready for a home of his own 🏡

***UPDATE: ADOPTED***

We didn’t expect a lot of interest in Scout given her age and breed, but we have not had a single inquiry on her ☹️

After her owner passed away, all we want is for Scout to find a place to live out the rest of her life.

Scout is a 10 year old, 90 lb Akita. She was originally adopted from us, but unfortunately, her adopter passed away suddenly. Now, Scout is back looking for her forever home to live the rest of her life in.

Being 10 years old, Scout is pretty slow and low-key. She sticks to herself and doesn't really interact with the other dogs in her foster home. She is a unique Akita in that she does well with dogs of all sizes and sexes. She enjoys getting attention and giving kisses. She has a really silly shorter and crooked lower jaw, so her tongue will hang out sometimes. She prefers eating canned food. Scout does know how to sit and shake, and she listens pretty well.

Scout wants nothing more than to find her retirement home where she can lounge around and rest. She is truly a sweet girl who has never met a stranger.
A lot of stairs aren't ideal for her.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org

Please share in Barrow and Oconee County Areas!

Chad is less than a year old, mostly black lab mix. He was born with a short tail.
He is very scared 😭. Please 🙏 if you see him, sit and do not walk directly towards him.

Please DO NOT CHASE HIM! He is very shy. Using another submissive dog may help bring him out. Please call us or email us immediately if you see him.

We will be forever grateful to her for the love and kindness she shown to our animals on the day of their neuter or spay or during their stay at the shelter. She always greeted us with a smile, didn't matter if we were running very late for drop-off or pickup and causing a bit of a pickle to her routine. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her will tell you the same, that her love for animals were unlike any. Katie will be dearly missed. Our thoughts are with her family, her animals, and anyone whom she has met. ❤️

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of MOAS employee Katie Griffeth. Katie was an incredible person, an unwavering advocate for animals, and an amazing friend to so many. She was known for her unmatched love of animals and her dedication to helping the neediest among them. As the life blood of MOAS, Katie made an immeasurable impact on our community as she served as our veterinary technician, assisting with thousands upon thousands of spay/neuter surgeries to combat pet overpopulation.

Katie had been a devoted employee of MOAS since its inception in 2002, dedicating over 22 years of her life to the welfare of animals. Her compassion, kindness, and tireless efforts touched countless lives, both human and animal. In all things Katie was selfless, giving, and the hardest working individual MOAS has ever had.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, her MOAS family, and the community members who knew and loved Katie.

In her honor, staff started a memorial with flowers at the shelter gate. Please feel free to leave flowers in her honor, but even more so adopt, foster, or help an animal in some way, as that will honor Katie’s legacy and her mission to save animals. We will provide updates about funeral services in the coming days.

Rest in peace, Katie. You will be deeply missed. You were hired before the first block was laid at MOAS, and you were the cornerstone of our organization. As we honor Katie and her life, please feel free to comment with any fond memories you have.

***Update***
Katie’s service will be Thursday June 27, 2024 at Bannister-Cooper Funeral Home 678 North Main St. Hiawassee, GA 30546 with viewing at 11AM with service starting at 1PM. Interment will follow at Laurel Hills Memory Gardens on GA-515 Young Harris, GA 30582 at the GA-NC line.

My least favorite dog treat, they're high in calories and, surprisingly, they're often found on pet poison lists. They contain high levels of hydroxyproline, which can be problematic for dogs prone to bladder stones. And if you knew the grisly process used to make them, you'd never buy them again.
