Canine CellMates
Canine CellMates is a program that we believe will have a large ripple effect on our community. For the dogs that are pulled from Fulton County Animal Control, they will be socialized, trained and adopted into loving homes, when they were facing almost certain euthanasia at the shelter. For the inmate handlers, they are given the opportunity to exhibit responsibility and accountability with measur

****** 13 Years by the Numbers ******
13 years of believing that dogs and people deserve second chances.
• 215 dogs rescued from open-intake shelters
• 205 dogs trained
• 194 dogs adopted into loving homes
• 400+ men served through our programs
• $973,360 saved in incarceration costs through Beyond The Bars
• $24,000 saved in judicial costs
But numbers never tell the whole story.
They don't tell you about the scared shelter dog who learned to trust again.
They don't tell you about the participant who discovered confidence, purpose, and hope.
They don't tell you about the family who found their perfect companion.
They don't tell you about the volunteers, donors, and supporters who made every success possible.
For 13 years, this community has transformed lives—both human and canine.
Today, we're asking you to help us continue that work.
Thanks to a generous matching challenge from Loomis Charitable Foundation, every dollar you give will be matched 2-to-1, tripling the impact of your donation.
Help us write the next chapter of second chances.

Who rescued who?
During our 13th Anniversary week, we couldn't resist sharing another happy ending—because we know you love these stories as much as we do.
Meet Pebbles.
When she came into our program, she was a skinny little Vizsla mix who struggled to put on weight. But what she lacked in pounds, she made up for in heart. Sweet, smart, and full of love, she quickly won over everyone she met.
After graduation, she waited patiently for her family.
And then... they found her.
Her future mom and dad lived all the way in Denver. They saw her picture and couldn't stop thinking about her. Driving to Atlanta for a dog seemed a little crazy... until they met Pebbles.
Then it made perfect sense.
This is what they shared with us:
"When we first saw Pebbles' photos, we were hooked! Living in Denver, the thought of traveling all the way to Atlanta to pick up a dog seemed a little crazy. Nonetheless, we headed there, met her, fell in love, and brought her home.
She's super sweet and loving! She clearly had great training and socialization, and she's popular with every dog at the park. She wants to kiss and cuddle everyone who comes into our home. Pebbles is a wonderful addition to our family."
From an uncertain future to a life full of mountain adventures, dog parks, and endless cuddles.
This is why we do what we do.
Every dog deserves a family. Every family deserves the joy a rescue dog can bring.
As we celebrate 13 years of Canine CellMates, we're asking for your help to create more stories just like Pebbles'. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Loomis Charitable Foundation, every gift made this week is TRIPLED through their 2-for-1 matching challenge.
One rescued dog.
One forever family.
A lifetime of love.
