Georgia Gives 2025

Every dog deserves a chance.At Shelters and Shelves Rescue, we fight every single day for the dogs in Georgia who are out of time, out of options, and facing euthanasia simply because shelters are overcrowded and under-resourced.

We are a foster-based, volunteer-run rescue working across Georgia to save at-risk dogs and give them the safe, loving homes they deserve. Many of the dogs we take in come from heartbreaking situations—strays, surrendered pets, abandoned litters, and dogs moments away from euthanasia. When others can’t step in, we do.

Shelter dogs in Georgia are among the most vulnerable in the country. High intake rates, limited kennel space, and a shortage of adopters mean that thousands of dogs need immediate rescue every year. Without organizations like ours, many of these dogs would never get their second chance.
