About Us - Dirt Road Doggies Rescue
We are a passionate canine rescue group in Northeast Georgia working tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, fully vet, and rehome faithful dogs that society has failed. We do not turn away any dog due to breed, health concerns, or age. Our goal is to keep these dogs out of animal shelters, thus saving their lives and providing more time for dogs already in shelters to find their forever family.
All our dogs have been pulled from, or in cooperation with, local animal control shelters or code enforcement. We ensure they are not lost pups, with a family diligently looking for them. We also take owner-surrendered dogs, depending on the circumstances.
We are a registered, 501c3 tax-deductible non-profit rescue licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
About Our Dogs
All of our dogs are fully vetted, parasite-free, and altered (spay/neuter) prior to adoption, with the exception of puppies who will be altered at 6 months of age – the alter is included in our adoption fee.
All dogs are microchipped. Completed vetting paperwork is presented at the time of adoption.
Dirt Road Doggies are fostered by compassionate families. With intricate knowledge of our dogs’ personalities, we work very hard to make each adoption a forever family by matching the adoptive family’s needs with the dogs. We want each adoption to be successful. To gain a family only to lose it all over again is an experience we want our dogs to avoid. We reserve the right to make the final decision on approving each adoption.
One call to any veterinarian and you will discover just how expensive it is to fully vet and alter a dog. Add in possible health ailments and you will begin to wonder just how rescues do it all! Here at Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, each adoption contribution is TBD per dog. We do not adjust this rate based on the “popularity” of a dog. We believe every dog is worthy of an owner who sees the value in them.
Each adoption contribution is used to help cover the expenses incurred for that dog and other dogs in our program. Often, the expenses far outweigh the contributions for a particular dog and require the infusion of much-appreciated donations. We are truly thankful to those that contribute to our mission. We do not offer package deals (such as a 2 for 1) or discounts.
About Our Adoption Process
The Dirt Road Doggies Rescue adoption process for your new pup, or the “road home,” as we like to call it, consists of four steps.
1. Complete the Adoption Application
As mentioned above, you will be required to submit general information and personal and vet references through the application.
2. Schedule a Home Visit
Potential adopters will receive a home visit from one of our members. During the COVID-19 pandemic, home visits may be conducted virtually or by emailing photographs of the dog’s future living space.
3. Schedule a Meet -n- Greet
All family members (fur babies included) must meet the foster parent and pup they wish to adopt.
4. Adoption Finalization!
If all goes accordingly, we’ll finalize the adoption, and your new little fur baby will be ready to join your family!
