Meet Mr. Wiggles
Last year, approximately 700,000 abandoned dogs were euthanized in the United States because of lack of space in shelters. Holly’s father-in-law and neices found Mr. Wiggles abandoned on a busy freeway, and they called Holly for help. Now Mr. Wiggles lives a carefree and happy life with Holly.

We Love Rescues and Fosters
The feeling you get when you know you've saved a dog's life is the best.
Holly Crymes and her husband Scott have been helping dogs find safe, loving homes for years. In the process, they’ve wound up with four rescues of their own, plus one foster dog, AND they’ve gotten to know lots of the North Georgia shelters, action groups, veterinarians and dog-care service providers along the way-- each of which makes it their mission to help as many dogs as possible live happy, stress-free lives.
