Shelters and Shelves Rescue

Dog rescue in SMRYNA, GA

At Shelters and Shelves, we firmly believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at finding their happily ever after. The dogs we rescue have all been marked as “urgent”, placing them at highest risk should the shelter reach kennel capacity. There is nothing inherently wrong with any of them; most are simply passed over based on scant first impressions or appearance. Some are medical cases that need time and space to recover outside of the stressful shelter environment. Others have a harder time finding families due to specific needs in a new home. All of them, however, have the perfect home somewhere out there waiting for them; they just need a little more time (and a little extra help) to find it. We make sure their story doesn't end at the shelter.
