Jack Flashback: July 2013
The volunteers had barely recovered from June’s fundraisers when July arrived and it was time to do it again with another Vol Day and fundraiser.

Jack Flashback: March 2013
March definitely came in like a lion … Lots of activities and, best of all, lots of adoptions!
Jack Flashback: January 2013
Welcome to another Jack Flashback series: The year-end, month-by-month roundup of the biggest stories at GA JRT rescue for 2013. What a wild ride it has been this year! We’ve had everything from heart-breaking losses to incredible success stories. One thing was consistent, though: Our online following increased greatly, which meant that our local support also grew beyond anything we’ve known before.
Zara’s New Purpose
She was terrified when she arrived at the kill shelter in spring. She was scared of everyone who worked there, so they labeled her for “rescue only.” She just happened to be there when we came to pick up another dog … and we fell in love with her.
Katie and Gracie’s Northern Adventure
We are thrilled to announce that Katie and Gracie have arrived at their new home in Michigan. What an amazing group effort it was to make this transport happen for two special girls who have been through so much.
So many thank you’s are in order …
- Kim Davis for organizing the volunteer drivers and travel arrangements so quickly and so thoroughly. We could have never done this without you!
- WAG-A-LOT Decatur for the complimentary spa treatments for the girls.
- Super Sal for stepping up as always and driving the Atlanta to Knoxville leg.
- Anne Ross for opening up her home for a slumber party last night and driving them with friend, Dana, from Knoxville to Cincinnati this morning.
- Emily Messenger for driving them from Cincinnati to Deb’s doorstop in Michigan this afternoon.
And, of course, we want to thank Deb Zarish beyond words for adopting these sweethearts. We knew that it was going to be challenging to place the girls. Even the most savvy JRT lover isn’t up for the adopting two at a time, much less older girls. Many people won’t even look twice at a dog over 3 years old. None of this meant anything to her. She was more than ready to give the girls a wonderful second chance. We knew after talking with her that they were getting a great home … and her friends backed that up in emails, testifying what an amazing person she is and a great life they will have. What a wonderful group of JRT lovers up there!
Here are the photos from the journey we posted to Facebook as it happened. Enjoy!
Gracie and Katie are Headed North!
We are happy to announce that the details have been worked out for Katie and Gracie’s transport up north to Michigan! They will leave rescue on Saturday for the obligatory spa treatment and slumber party, then head out early Sunday to meet their new Mom. We will, of course, share plenty of photos and updates on their journey. Thank you to everyone who offered help!
