The Morris Bandon Girl Scout Troop, #3735, a group of fifth graders decided to help the dogs and cats of Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoptoin.  They raised money (a total of $509.78) doing lemonade stands, candy sales, extra chores, babysitting, and/or dog walking.  This was their community service project for the year, outside of school.  They chose the Atlanta Pet Rescue because they knew at least one girl had gotten her dog, Coco, there and we also wanted a no-kill shelter.
Two of the girls specifically, Drew and Avery, were in charge of this meeting/visit and they helped their moms gather information for the troop about the APR (and your move!) and distributed it to Read More...

As you know we are in the process of building a wonderful new home for the dogs and cats of Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. Our space is much larger to accommodate more animals which enables us to save more lives. As the construction continues, our bills are pouring in. In order to do a successful build-out with proper ventilation, expanded dog pens, larger cat rooms, and all the back of house needs (grooming room, intake rooms, etc.)  it takes a lot of money.

We need your support during this time more than ever before. Our friends and supporters of APRA Read More...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all wish money grew on CAT trees. But since it doesn’t we are having a campaign to raise money to buy cat trees for our new shelter. We are planning to get Crijo cat trees which are the best for the kitties. They last a long time (5-7 years), give hidey holes for the cats for security, and give them the ability to climb high up to give them some private time.

We hope you can help and Read More...
