Our Pal's Place

Belle sent an email out and we posted on my FB too. Poor Shermie!

How good to hear from you SHermie! Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. I will be sending continued "PETS" to you & a donation towards your surgery. Thanks to your saviors you sound like a sweet soul

She will love that!

Update: Sherman left the emergency vet this morning in good condition, and is now at Dr. Shepherd's office being monitored. He will be released to Gigi later today, and will spend the night at her house so that he can be monitored.

This medical emergency cost a LOT of money, and everyone in the OPP family knows we operate on an extremely tight budget, so this afternoon we'll be launching a Sherman fund-raiser to help pay for his medical bills. More info to come soon. Thank you all!!!

I am glad he does.

Thank you for all the wonderful information & for sharing. I am working on building a facebook page & a blog to get these gentle giants out there where their furever parents can see them!

Thank you very much, Jane! We've had great success, and it's 100% due to our incredibly dedicated & diverse volunteer base, and the financial supporters that keep our doors open.

Next time you're in the Atlanta area, we'd love to have you visit. Keep up the great work, and feel free to contact us anytime. Thanks!

I may be back on the East coast in the summer. I will definately add your area to my wish trip list! Thanks for the invite

OPP is open every Saturday and Sunday from 1-5pm, or during the week by appointment. You'll have the opportunity to interact with any dog you'd like - either playing in our fenced yard or our short walking trail, which is perfect for taking a dog out on leash for some 1-on-1. Let me know if I can help. http://br.st/FE
