Paws 4 Chainge

We would like to share a heartfelt update on the two puppies found by the roadside in Troup County. These little souls have touched our hearts, and we have given them names fitting of their spirit—Alexa Grace for the sweet girl, and Roman Reigns for the brave boy. Alexa has already been to the vet, where she was lovingly cared for and brought up to date on her vaccinations. She is about four months old and thriving. Roman is set to visit the vet next week. Our goal is to ensure they are both spayed or neutered, preparing them for the loving homes they deserve. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of those who have donated to their care. Your kindness has made a world of difference, and we cannot thank you enough for supporting these precious lives.

Paws 4 Chainge is a nonprofit organization dedicated to buildg enclosures for dogs that are currently confined in small kennels or tethered. Occasionally, our efforts extend to assisting dogs in urgent need. On Friday, July 11 2025, we were informed of two puppies abandoned on Patillo Road in Troup County. The puppies were found in distressing conditions—wet, cold, hungry, and suffering. The smell was horrendous. Leaving them unattended in such a state was not an option, as their fate was uncertain. We have since taken the puppies into our care and are seeking assistance with their veterinary expenses. We have named the female puppy Alexa Grace and have already taken her to the veterinarian, where she was diagnosed with roundworms, hookworms, and an eye infection. Both puppies will require medical treatment, rehabilitation, and eventual rehoming. Your support would be immensely appreciated, and no contribution is too small.

It's been a little while since our last fence build. With the help of our wonderful friend and volunteer Ralph, we transported the fence to the family’s property, and they graciously agreed to install it.

After realizing we had a digger, Dana and I took the initiative to secure the bottom of the fence, ensuring that sweet Oakly could safely roam in her new home. To make her feel even more comfortable, we provided Oakly with two new collars, two bowls, a leash, and a flea and tick collar. We hope to arrange for her to be spayed soon, and we are patiently waiting for the family to make the necessary arrangements and get back to us.

We understand that having a dog comes with its own set of expenses, and while we’ve made great strides with the fence, we want to be able to replace the fence to assist even more families in need of help for their furry companions. As always, we can't do this alone, and any support you can provide would mean the world to us. Thank you for being part of Oakly’s journey!
