Lavender has been healing well enough that she was placed up for adoption over the weekend. This loving girl quickly found her forever home, where she never has to worry again.

Update: February 19, 2025

Because of our community’s support, Lavender is receiving the lifesaving care she needs to heal. Our dedicated Shelter Medicine Team is carefully monitoring her recovery. They’re performing routine wound cleanings, managing her pain, and ensuring she remains as comfortable as possible. We’ve also started her on a specific dietary schedule to help address her malnourishment, and she’s begun the first phase of heartworm treatment.

Lavender’s road to recovery is just beginning. Thank you for standing alongside her.

Lavender has suffered for far too long. But today, you can change her story.

Lavender was rescued with deep, infected wounds across her body, likely from an embedded harness that had been left on for too long. The lacerations cut through muscle, leaving her in unimaginable pain. On top of that, she is also battling heartworm disease and recovering from malnourishment.

But today, your gift will go twice as far to help her.

Lavender’s road to recovery is just beginning and your support means twice the wound care, twice the pain relief, and twice the second chances for more animals like her.

Please, give now while every dollar is 2x matched by VCA Animal Hospitals.

Mariah came to us in critical condition, fighting for her life.

This sweet French Bulldog needed an emergency C-section, but the outcome was devastating. All of her puppies had already passed. Thanks to compassionate supporters like you, Mariah received the urgent care she needed to heal from this traumatic ordeal.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, Alexandra is now fully recovered and thriving in a loving foster home while she looks for her forever home.

When she first arrived at Atlanta Humane, Alexandra was in critical condition, battling parvo, severe enteritis, and dangerous blood sugar instability. Thanks to the support of our community, she received the urgent care she needed to heal. Now she is strong, happy, and on her way to a bright future.

Rescued from an overcrowded rural shelter, this sweet puppy was already battling parvo, severe enteritis, and dangerous blood sugar instability. When we first welcomed her into our care, she was too weak to eat on her own, struggling to walk without pain, and was losing control of her body.

But your donation today will be doubled to help save her.

When you give towards our Day of Giving today, your donation will be doubled to provide Alexandra with the care and support she needs.

$25 becomes $50 to provide critical medications
$50 becomes $100 to cover emergency treatments
$100 becomes $200 to support round-the-clock intensive care

Alexandra isn’t giving up, and neither will we. But she can’t fight this battle alone. Please, send your support now while every dollar is matched.

Right now, animals like Mimi are waiting for rescue and when you join us on Day of Giving, your gift can save them.

Day of Giving will take place on Thursday, February 20, but all donations are already being 2x matched. This means every gift you give today goes twice as far to help rescue animals in desperate need.

Our Animal Protection Unit has already deployed to 3 large-scale, emergency rescues just this year. In a recent rescue mission, we deployed to Dade County, where Mimi and countless other animals were living in heartbreaking conditions.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Mimi and her friends are now safe and receiving the care they need. But every day, more animals wait for help.

When you have your gift doubled today, you are directly helping us rescue these animals who are suffering from cruelty, neglect, and unsafe conditions.
