They take in both cats and dogs and have two different locations dedicated to each animal. The shelter started in 2002 when the founder, Samantha Shelton, found and rescued a stray mother cat who had just had kittens. Since then, she has created an organization that specializes in rescuing homeless and abandoned pets from all over Georgia and nearby states to find as many happy homes for cat and dog fur-babies. Currently, <em>Furkids<\/em> has helped place over 30,000 dogs and cats into loving homes, and the number of animals they help is only growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Dog Shelter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Furkids<\/em> Dog Shelter The dog shelter is located at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/\/1520+Union+Hill+Rd,+Alpharetta,+GA+30005\/data=!4m6!4m5!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x88f59e79c853a683:0x9c7189447766b2bd?ved=2ahUKEwjd6oCX8NLeAhVOhuAKHV7AAkcQwwUwAHoECAAQAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">1520 Union Hill Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30005<\/a>. The facility has a maximum capacity of 65 dogs, but that is not the maximum number of dogs that <em>Furkids<\/em> has. They also foster dogs within their program, and one can become a foster parent by applying on <em>Furkid<\/em>s\u2019 website. The organization also works with PetSmart and Petco to help get more of their dogs and puppies into loving homes. <em>Furkids<\/em> holds adoption events at local Petsmart and Petco every Saturday. They also have other adoption opportunities on some Sundays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"FurKids Rescue Shelter Building\" data-id=\"559\" data-link=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/?attachment_id=559\" class=\"wp-image-559\"\/><figcaption>\ufeffFurkids Dog Shelter<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Dog-enjoying-a-treat.jpg\" alt=\"Dog enjoying a treat\" data-id=\"553\" data-link=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/?attachment_id=553\" class=\"wp-image-553\"\/><figcaption>Come to one of Furkids Events!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Come\n\tto one of <em>Furkids\n\t<\/em>Events!<em>Furkids\n<\/em>holds\nmany different events. One very special type of event that <em>Furkids<\/em>\ndoes is they take puppies and dogs to various universities for\nanimal-therapy sessions. Even though the dogs they bring are not\nspecifically therapy dogs, the presence of animals is soothing to\nmany people. Each week <em>Furkids<\/em>\nhas approximately five to six different events that they participate\nin. This dedication to spreading the love of animals showcases why\n<em>Furkids<\/em>\nis special to Georgia as they are adamant in their mission \u201cto\nrescue homeless animals, provide them with the best medical care and\nnurturing environment while working to find them a forever home\u201d\n(Furkids). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Furkids<\/em> also does another event every third Tuesday of the month. They go on FOX news in the morning and take a dog or cat to showcase. This allows them to spread the word of their wonderful organization, while also increasing the likelihood for the adoption of the featured dog. Overall, <em>Furkids<\/em> is a very community engaged organization and it is through their engagement that they are able to teach people about the love that animals bring and bridge the gap between animal and potential owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Every Animal Deserves Love<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-4.jpeg\" alt=\"smiling black rescue dog waiting to be adopted\" class=\"wp-image-563\" width=\"207\" height=\"276\"\/><figcaption> <br>One of the many dogs <br>Furkids<br>helps find loving homes<br> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One\n\tof the many dogs <em>Furkids<\/em>\n\thelps find loving homes<em>Furkids<\/em>\ngoes above and beyond to take in animals that would normally be\nturned away from other no-kill shelters. They will take in cats with\nFeline Leukemia, FIV positive cats, and dogs with known diseases,\nlike heart-worm. The dog facility has a dedicated staff that looks\nafter the medical needs of every dog, ensuring each animal has the\ncare they require. Furkids believes that every animal deserves a\nchance for a happy, healthy, and loving life. Many animals that may\nnot have had an opportunity to be adopted are able to live happily at\nthe <em>Furkids<\/em>\nfacility until they find their forever home.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura Purcell, who is in charge of marketing and events, expressed how unique <em>Furkids<\/em> is especially in regards to the effort the organization goes through to take in and care for animals. She also mentioned hat <em>Furkids<\/em> has a designated recruiter that goes around to various other shelters in Georgia and brings in new dogs each week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:144px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spero<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-5.jpeg\" alt=\"Tan Tripod Dog being Adopted\" class=\"wp-image-565\" width=\"289\" height=\"348\"\/><figcaption> <br>Spero being adopted. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Spero being adopted. Purcell also mentioned that <em>Furkids<\/em> has teamed up with a shelter in Qatar. <em>Furkids<\/em> took in Spero, a dog who was used in dog races but tossed aside when he broke one of his paws. Their partner shelter found Spero at a construction site, where he was severely malnourished and had resorted to eating rocks to sate his hunger. His broken paw was so damaged that when <em>Furkids<\/em> was able to fly him over to the States, he had to have his leg amputated and surgery for his stomach to remove the rocks he had eaten. Despite the odds, Spero made a full recovery and is now living with a loving family after being adopted from the <em>Furkids<\/em> dog shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Volunteers Make it Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another\naspect that makes <em>Furkids<\/em>\nspecial is their volunteer basis. Other shelters also have volunteers\nas a key part of the organization. However, <em>Furkids<\/em>\nallows children of all ages to volunteer. Some of the younger\nvolunteers will create lemonade-stands in order to fundraise money or\nthey will read to cats at the Cat Shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-6.jpeg\" alt=\"holding hands with dog paw\" class=\"wp-image-567\"\/><figcaption> <br>Volunteer at <a href=\"http:\/\/FurKids.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Furkids.org<\/a>! <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Children\nunder the age of sixteen are allowed to volunteer at the cat shelter\nas long as they come with a parent or guardian. There is also the\nopportunity for people of all ages to read to cats at the shelter as\nwell. Once a volunteer is sixteen, they can volunteer at the dog\nshelter. Another chance for young kids to volunteer with dogs is to\nbe a dog-handler at the adoption events which occur on the weekends.\nChildren ages twelve and up can help to walk the dogs and keep them\ncompany. For teenagers between the ages of sixteen to eighteen, they\nhave the opportunity to volunteer at <em>Furkids<\/em>\u2019s\nthrift store in Norcross.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteer at Furkids.org! Overall, <em>Furkids<\/em> is incredibly family and kid-friendly. They help provide volunteer opportunities for children of all ages which helps spread the word about adoption and exposes children to the love found in animals. Ms. Purcell expressed that \u201cit is great getting involved with the community and educating kids about volunteering while they are young,\u201d so that they realize the value of animals and shelters (Purcell). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Furkids<\/em> and Rescue Dog Olympics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"185\" src=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Rescue-Dog-Olympics-Logo-1-1024x185.png\" alt=\"Rescue Dog Olympics Logo\" class=\"wp-image-555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Rescue-Dog-Olympics-Logo-1-1024x185.png 1024w, https:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Rescue-Dog-Olympics-Logo-1-300x54.png 300w, https:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Rescue-Dog-Olympics-Logo-1-768x139.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Last\nyear <em>Furkids<\/em>\nwas a part of <a href=\"http:\/\/rescuedoggames.com\/\">Rescue\nDog Olympics<\/a>\nand they are coming back again this year to help spread the love of\nanimals. <em>Furkids<\/em>\nbelieves that Rescue Dog Olympics is a great venue to help get more\ndogs adopted by loving families.
