Adoptable (Official) Georgia Dogs for May 12, 2021

Uno is an adult male Hound mix who is available for adoption from Fixing the Boro in Statesboro, GA.

This sweet boy has had a rough go at life and needs an understanding family. Uno is very scared of men… really pretty scared of everything. He is a good boy with kids, dogs, cats, and chickens, but would greatly appreciate a low-key, quiet forever home. He has a permanent scar and paw deformity from an animal trap. He is fully vetted and just now learning that people can be good.

Rae is a young adult female Hound mix who is available for adoption from Fixing the Boro in Statesboro, GA.

This precious ~2 year old girl is just as quiet and meek as they come. She is a shy gal that will need some patience in a new home, but did amazingly at her first outing. At this time she is very cautious/nervous around other dogs, but with confidence and time, this may change!

Rae is heartworm positive, but her treatment is fully covered by rescue. Her vetting will conclude soon! Please let us know if you’d like to meet her!

Fox is an adult male Hound mix who is available for adoption from Fixing the Boro in Statesboro, GA.

Fox is about 3 years old, originally from a hoarding case the shelter assisted with back in January – he is now used to the spoiled life! He is fully vetted, heartworm negative, dog friendly, and ready for his new family! Fox can be a little shy at first, but has gotten SO much better! He knows now that people give pets and treats and are worth hanging around with ? Would love to have a puppy sibling (and his shelter family would prefer that for him as well)!

Fixing the Boro celebrated its first anniversary as a low-cost spay and neuter clinic in addition to animal rescue, according to the Statesboro Herald.

Clinic founders Sarah Roehm and Beth Jenkins were eager early last year to get the ball rolling on the clinic, after FTB had applied for and received a $67,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. FTB, which had previously operated only as a rescue organization, renovated a donated office space on East Inman Street to be used for the “snip clinic.”

In 2020, the clinic altered 2,655 dogs, cats and rabbits, and so far this year, the number has reached 1,432.

Roehm says the clinic is servicing a six-county area right now.

“To see people say, ‘I’d rather drive two hours than not do it at all,’ that’s pretty significant,” she said.

Currently, FTB has 115 animals in rescue, and more than 80 of those are cats. They are swamped, Roehm says, with adoptable kittens and cats, and are in desperate need of litter, and wet and dry food.

But they are always willing to accept donations of wet or dry dog food, puppy pads, blankets, sheets, towels, pillowcases, pill bottles, and office supplies. FTB has a wish list on Amazon, and they are also glad to accept monetary donations as well.
