I really don't know what I would have done without this place!! One day, I had newborn kittens on my porch and in my yard. I waited for the mom, fed them, did everything I could for these babies, but after a few hours they stopped eating. I sent them to stay with a foster mom but after a whole night and day, they still wouldn't latch. Luckily, they had an opening and I got to take them the same day. They told me they already had a home set up for them, as well as taking them to the vet, fixed, chipped, and everything! This place is doing everything right. If you were to ever donate to a rescue, pick this one!
This is the nicest place and all of the animals are so loved and well cared for. I adopted Mimosa (we named her Sweetie) and she's the sweetest kitten and so smart. She came with a binder with all her medical info, instructions to activate her microchip, and gift bag with a fuzzy pink blanket, lots of toys, and cans of food. About two months later we adopted a black cat named Salem (we named him Loki) the process was the same the 2nd time around. They are the loves of my life and I'm so glad someone took such great care of them until we met them. If anyone wants a pet, they should go here. If you don't want a pet, you should donate to them.
I adopted my sweet Fiona from them May 2022. They were very helpful, super clean, and I LOVE that Fiona was not kept in a cage. She was sooo friendly and has grown up to be a super playful and sweet girl. Could not recommend them enough🤍
Unfortunately, many rescues have a terrible reputation. While I don't want to contribute to talking badly about anyone who attempts to save animals, the experience I had with Paws in Middle Georgia is unacceptable. I saw a post on Facebook pleading to find a foster for a hospice dog. I have fostered several dogs through rescues before. I immediately applied and was approved, even though they never contacted my references. I sent my current pet's vet records. I went and picked up the dog and waited over 30 minutes for the volunteer, Candace, to locate the documents we needed to fill out, which she never did. I took the dog home and tried to introduce her to my dog. We spent time with both dogs leashed and on opposite sides of our yard. The foster dog was lunging and barking at the sight of our dog; we did not know if this was excitement or leash aggression. We walked them both around, trying to get her comfortable and closer to our dog. This attempt at a slow introduction did not work; as soon as the foster was close enough to our dog, she attacked and bit my dog in the face. I immediately called the foster coordinator, Emily, and told them she was highly dog-aggressive. She said, "She has been fine with other animals when given a slow introduction," and they had no idea how aggressive she was and to bring her back. I did and barely got an apology. When I got home, I noticed the wounds on my dog's face; I then asked to have someone contact me. I got a very angry phone call from Tiphineigh, blaming me for not knowing about her aggression and not spending enough time introducing them. She was incredibly rude and deflective. No one checked on my dog or apologized for not informing me about the dog's aggression. She spent this entire phone call claiming they told us several times about the dog's aggression. However, this was untrue; we were never warned about this extreme aggression. I found on the rescue's website that this dog will need a trainer to live in a house with other dogs. Unfortunately, they did not disclose any of this information to me, and my dog was injured because of their lack of communication. They refused to be held accountable, and instead of apologizing, they blocked me. Shame on you, Paws in Middle Georgia. You are the reason rescues get a terrible reputation. Now, I am faced with a $250+ vet bill because I tried to help this rescue. This beautiful dog deserves a home with no other dogs, and this rescue needed to be more forthcoming about this information and not try to hide it. Hopefully, no other animals will be injured from their lack of disclosure. Luckily, there are some fantastic rescues out there. I highly recommend Save A Pet in Forsyth, Ga or literally any other rescue.
We adopted our kitten from Paws a few months back. Working with the rescue was great. They were responsive, communicative, and willing to work with you. They allowed us to spend a good amount of time in the kitten room really getting to know the personalities of the kittens and pick the perfect one for our family. When we adopt again we will definitely come back here.
I fostered then adopted my precious tripod Sadie from here and it was a great experience. I will never go anywhere else. They were helpful, knowledgeable and oh so kind.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
