Here we will list special animals in need of extra care and rehabilitation. Please check back frequently to learn about our sweet dogs and cats who have been given a second chance at a loving home and comfortable life.

If you are looking for all of our animals, please visit the Adoptable Animals page.  There you can scroll through all of our animals that are in need of loving homes!

 Some of our lovable pets in need have recently been adopted. While they are no longer with COFAS, their extensive vet bills still are! Our rescue organization is trying to recover from the costs of heartworm treatments, surgeries, emergency vet visits,… all while still continuing to save dogs and cats at animal controls in our area. Some of these *new* dogs and cats have come to us with heartworms and various other treatable but costly health issues. PLEASE consider donating to COFAS to help us recover some funds so that we can save as many dogs and cats as possible!! The volunteers that make up COFAS truly believe in making a commitment to the dogs and cats that we save. We do our best to pull both healthy pets and ones that need physical and emotional rehabilitation before leaving our care. If one of our animals need heartworm treatment or surgery, COFAS and our wonderful supporters will make it happen!!

Some current Pets in Need:

Listed below are some of the recent ‘graduates’ from Circle of Friends Animal Society who were down on their luck and found treatment and healthy, happy new starts thanks to the wonderful donors and contributors to Circle of Friends.

Nestle

Meet Nestle the chocolate Chihuahua! She was only surrendered to us recently (along with her 3 month old baby) and is a very sweet, well mannered Chihuahua. Nestle was just adopted in early June but had to undergo heartworm treatment while in Circle of Friends’ care. Treatment for heartworms is rather expensive, even for a small dog like her- unfortunately all of the proceeds (and then some!) coming from her adoption fee did not offset the cost of treatment. Add to that the cost of vaccinations (rabies, DHLPP), her spay surgery, the cost of food while in foster care… and it’s not hard to imagine why we need as many donations as possible!

Finn

A puppy was surrendered with his five brothers and sisters. The healthy ones were rescued by another organization and the last two were taken by us, Circle of Friends Animal Society. Both born with birth defects, the little girl, Reilly, found a great home who was committed to fixing her hip dysplasia that she was born with. Who we have left is a puppy named Finn. He is a boisterous puppy who is in love with life. However, he was not dealt with a good beginning to life when he was born with a hole in his little body. There is a more scientific way to describe it, but Finn has a cavity in between his diaphragm and his heart, which will eventually lead to heart complications and ultimately lead to his death. The UGA vet school has agreed to take $200 off the bill, but the surgery ended up costing $1400. That leaves us with a hefty bill. Finn is one of the best puppies ever and deserves a chance to live out a full life. All we are asking you to do is donate a couple dollars and pass on the word. Every penny counts and the more people that hear about it, the more we’ll raise. 

If’d like to donate, first off, THANK YOU (from all of us here at COFAS and from Finn). You may click on the PayPal button below or send checks to our mailing address:

 Wyatt 

Wyatt was rescued from animal control where he was found stray with a huge chain hanging from his neck. He is the friendliest and happiest pit bull you will met, an absolute ambassador for the breed. He is around 2 years old. We noticed Wyatt has a small limp and after vet visits and X-rays we found he needs knee surgery to pop his joint back into place. The surgery will cost $700-$1000 and he will have a difficult recovery. After recovery he may always have a limp. Not only does this boy need a home of his own, but we could really use donations for his medical treatment. Please donate to help this boy have a more comfortable life!

Precious

Precious is truly a miracle cat! She was attacked by a dog at about 6 months of age and her jaw was broken on one side and nearly shattered on the other. She was in tremendous pain and her rescuers didn’t know where to turn, so we took her in. She had surgery on her jaw at Riverside Animal Hospital in Macon, GA. Dr. Shurling and Dr. Thompson both did a wonderful job getting her well. Once she started to recover from her injuries and surgery, we noticed how plump she was getting – and continued gaining weight like crazy. Hmmm. Yep, she was pregnant through the dog attack and the surgery! She delivered five healthy babies, and was an excellent momma. After they were weaned, Precious was spayed and is now ready for a home of her own!

Precious is a funny girl with lots of fun quirks. She would love to have a safe place where she can go in and out every once in a while, as she truly enjoys the outdoors. She also has started to show her playful, kitten side, after she was forced to grow up so early and be a mommy. Now, she is acting really silly and enjoys playing with straws, bits of paper or cat toys. She is absolutely gorgeous with big green eyes and is also POLYDACTYL – she has seven toes on one front foot and six on the other. She loves to spread out and place her huge paw out in front of her to showcase it. Precious is fine with other cats and dogs. She’s fine with children but prefers adults. Won’t you give Precious another shot at the life she deserves?

Precious’s surgery, including her spay, testing and shots, comes to over $700.00. Any donations towards her vet bill are truly appreciated!
