Furkids took in 23 dogs seized from a Chattooga County home
The dogs were among 114 seized from the property, and Georgia Gives Day gifts support the Furkids to the Rescue Fund.
Furkids says 114 dogs were recently seized from a home in Chattooga County, Georgia, where they lived in the dark on floors thick with feces, beside dead animals discarded in garbage bags.
Local animal control took in over 100 dogs in one day. A Furkids team traveled to the facility and took 23 of the dogs, which are now in the shelter's care.
Furkids is asking for Georgia Gives Day donations to its Furkids to the Rescue Fund, which the group says lets it say yes when large groups of animals need rescue. The shelter says gifts pay for vaccines, spay and neuter surgeries, dental care and treatments.

For 114 dogs recently seized from a home in Chattooga County, Georgia, this wasn’t something to imagine. It was their everyday life. When the dogs were seized from the property and local animal control was flooded with over 100 dogs in just one day, they needed help fast. Furkids answered the call. This week, our team traveled to their facility and welcomed as many dogs as we could. These 23 dogs are now learning what it means to be safe, cared for, and loved one-on-one, possibly for the first time ever. When you give this Georgia Gives Day, you power our Furkids to the Rescue Fund, the fund that lets us say yes when large groups of animals urgently need rescue. Please give today at GAgives.org/organization/Furkids. In 2026, Furkids has opened our doors to dozens of animals at a time, saving more lives than ever in our history. As a nonprofit, we count on our community of supporters to keep these life-saving missions going. Today, your donation, no matter how small, can change a life. It provides essential veterinary care, including vaccines, spay and neuter surgeries, dental care, and treatments, so these innocent animals get the second chance they deserve.”
