One of my friends made a post a few months back about this group needing volunteers to help assist…read morewith building doggie enclosures, so I jumped at the chance to help. This Non-Profit helps dogs that are chained up, by giving them a spacious enclosure and getting them "off the chain". They are non-judgmental with the owners, only looking to better the welfare of the dogs. They have a FB volunteer page where you can sign up to assist with the builds. All their build supplies come from donations or from buying their shirts/hats. The build staff is wonderful, and you don't need to know anything about putting up fences to help jump in. Most builds take about 1-2 hours and are closer to the Athens area of town. Each build consists of making a spacious fenced-in enclosure, with one area designated for sleeping (it also has a canopy for when it rains and area for shade). A water bucket is provided, igloo home, dog cot, food and toys for the doggie. I had the opportunity to do 2 builds thus far and volunteer helping run a table at a one of their events. You get the hang of it after one build, and you meet some wonderful people in the process. Also, the dogs seem so much happier once they get into their area and can run around freely. If you're looking for a way to give back and love dogs, this is the perfect opportunity! Most builds happen 1-2 times per month, and typically 9am-12pm Saturday or Sunday AM. This entire organization is "Off the Chain"!

I was surprised at the prices of the used furniture and used clothes and shoes. Similarly houseswares were priced very high. The idea of a thrift store is to make it more affordable for people to acquire things that they have a need for. It's sad how donated items are priced at such high prices. Not good.

As adults we have this tendency to say "if I knew then what I knew now, I'd have paid more attention in school!" Well here's your chance. This tiny aquarium will impart more knowledge in a short visit than you probably take in most months if you take advantage of it. The interns and owner (a former teacher) are committed to answering questions. The things they are studying and sharing are amazing. If you go in and you want to learn and ask questions this will be an experience you won't forget. Think of the best science teacher you ever had, having an opportunity to show the world what she loves to talk about... and that is what you have here. Do yourself a favor, go, enjoy and learn!!

I don't often write reviews, but I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the…read morefantastic experience my family had in adopting our two little doggies from the great group of people at Dirt Road Doggies Rescue. Early last year, we lost our beloved family dog, Jack, a mini dachshund. We had him since he was a puppy, almost sixteen years. The loss left a giant hole in our hearts. After that, we didn't think we would have another dog. But if you've had pets your entire life, you know that not having them makes your home, well, less of a home. So we started looking for another dog. We came across a little pup online, thought it would be perfect, and made our first contact with Dirt Road Doggies Rescue. From that moment, we were in excellent hands. As it turned out, the dog we were initially interested in had been adopted. So Dirt Road Doggies Rescue helped us find a different dog, but most importantly, the right dog for us. Well, doggies, actually. We ended up falling in love with a little bonded pair of chi-weenies and decided to adopt them both. We'd never adopted before, and though their adoption process is stringent (to protect the pups!), they made it easy. And simply put, they bent over backward to help make the adoption process smooth and convenient for us. They genuinely have the best interests of their rescue dogs at heart, down to the care package of necessities and goodies they brought for the doggies upon our adoption finalization. It is apparent how devoted they are to rescuing and finding just the right families for their dogs.
