Six Puppies in Atlanta

Could you give $5 to save these puppies?

These are adorable Pyr mix puppies, only 6 weeks old. They are part of a litter of 9 puppies dumped at the kill shelter in Florence, AL at the ripe old age of four weeks. We spotted them online and asked our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta to please, please, please save them. With our sponsorship, GPRA stepped up to take six of the puppies (including Panda, the parvo pup we sponsored last week), with the others going to other rescues.

With a big bunch of puppies come lots of vet bills for vaccinations, neutering, etc.! It is likely that if we did not ask to get GPRA involved and agree to sponsor, that these puppies would have been killed by the shelter – there wasn't exactly a rush by rescues to take them and often young pups are too much trouble for overworked shelter staff to care for, so sometimes shelers take the easy way out and just put them to sleep.

Please help us raise $200 we need to help save these puppies using the ChipIn. 

All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can help save this one and many more!

Our continuing support of GPRA enabled them to save these puppies. In fact, your donations have been very effective in helping our rescue partners to save more than 100 dogs in the past months.
