Sir Anthony Hopkins
This sweet Poodle had been with Releash Atlanta for 8 months but no one had wanted to adopt him because he’s a senior. He is a gentle boy who loves to be cuddled and is at his happiest when he’s snuggled in a tiny bed with Kiefer Sutherland, Justin Timberlake and Tom Hanks and he’s so easy going...he may be the most laid back senior we have! We love this boy and are so fortunate to call him ours. |
Olivia Newton-John
Olivia Newton-John came to us from Barrow County Animal Control after being there for 8 ½ months. we took her in and vowed to give her the best care and comfort we could for as long as she had. Olivia had awful ear infections with double hematomas, skin infected so badly she scratched incessantly, and last but by no means least, a massive tumor in her stomach that was resting on her spleen. Based on her X-rays of the tumor, we thought may have a few days, or few weeks at best with her. But in true Frankie and Andy’s Place fashion, we have witnessed a small miracle. She's improved day by day, her skin issues have cleared up for the most part and she is bouncing around, happy as a clam and forcing every single visitor to the cabin to fall head over heels in love with her. She is happiest rolling around in the yard or going for walks on the trail. This girl is unstoppable! |
Snazzy
Snazzy is 12 years old and has been at the Ranch for 3 years as a foster, until we decided to have her live out her years at FAAP as new female in charge after we lost Lil Kim. Snazzy is tactile, friendly, loves to snuggle and is MAD about belly rubs…..if you have all day to give them, she will stay there all day asking for one, and paw you for more, more, more! Snazzy has some severe arthritis in her shoulders and so be careful when you reach down to pet her and try to steer clear of her shoulder areas. She is wonderful with the other dogs and is very good at keeping the peace up at the cabin. |
Kiefer Sutherland
This sweet little poodle mix (maybe part lamb!) came to us from Society of Humane Friends. His previous name before coming to us was “Toothless”…can you guess why? This little guy may have no teeth and very little to no sight, but that doesn’t stop him! He loves meal time, exploring outside in the yard and napping next to his friends. He is a precious soul with a big personality! We are lucky to have him with us. |
Justin Timberlake
This sweet little 14 year old Yorkie mix came to us from Releash Atlanta and we’ve been smitten ever since. He had been kept in a bathroom for the last year, never seeing the light of day or feeling the sunshine on his poor frail little body. His hair was coming out in clumps and his poor body was a mass of rashes and breakouts. He is the softest, most gentle little boy and just wants to be loved. He loves to watch everyone, being ever so observant of the hustle bustle around him. And when he’s ready, he will pop out of his bed and scurry around and find his way out to the sunshine. After being shut in a bathroom for a year, this little guy is soaking in all the sunshine and love he can get...and with all of us doting on him, he sure is getting plenty of it! JT, you are the perfect addition to our family! |
Lily Tomlin
Gerry came to us from the Society of Humane Friends. She is around 12 years old with a little arthritis but she is personality plus, gorgeous to look at and the kindest, sweetest nature you can imagine! Gerry is named after one of our night crew ladies, who came in to love on the dogs and take care of their needs before bed with snacks, pee and potty routine and meds when necessary. She was a kind and wonderful woman with a strong sense of honor and commitment, never failing to provide our seniors with everything they needed despite her serious health issues. Gerry passed away in March of this year after losing her battle with cancer. Her incredible family and friends know all too well how much of Gerry’s heart beat for these senior dogs, naming one after her, especially one so beautiful and perfect as this, was oh so right. |
Iain Glen
At 13, Iain Glen is no spring chicken but he is still strikingly handsome. Just look at those eyes! Our friends at Society of Humane Friends wanted us to have him because he has some health issues that would have made him difficult to adopt. Deaf, thyroid issues and with a heart murmur, Ian wouldn’t be a fit for just any home. But he is the perfect fit for us! He is kind, gentle and actually prefers to be around small dogs, especially his Dachshund best friend at the cabin, Alan. |
Owen Wilson
Silky terrier mix Wilson had been at Walton County Animal Control and was luckily pulled by Pup and Cat Co who just had to save his life. They named him Snowshoe and placed him in a foster home, where unfortunately a short while after, a family tragedy occurred, and he had to be re-homed immediately. Enter big hearted Juli, who is our weekday morning mama and ‘keeper of records’ for Frankie and Andy’s Place, who said “I got this!” Those three words saved his life because an almost blind, fully deaf dog with the most severe dental issues we have ever seen would not have made it back at the shelter. Shortly after he arrived at the cabin, Wilson had every single one of his teeth out in an emergency procedure at Gwinnett Animal Hospital, our partners in their health, and is now feeling much, much better. He’s very tactile, kind, loving and adores his cabin friends, and can sing the most beautiful tunes! We love him. |
Halle Berry
Halle came to us from our dear friends at Hickory Level Hound Rescue. This no-nonsense, “take no prisoners” kind of a girl is a fabulous little chihuahua with a healthy dose of ‘tude!’ Soft and snuggly with every human she meets, she just yearns to be picked up and loved on whenever you go past...and will tap on your leg to remind you that it’s your job to pet her! She is a favorite on the community visits and brings sunshine everywhere she goes! |
Gerry Resciniti
Gerry came to us from the Society of Humane Friends. She is around 12 years old with a little arthritis but she is personality plus, gorgeous to look at and the kindest, sweetest nature you can imagine! Gerry is named after one of our night crew ladies, who came in to love on the dogs and take care of their needs before bed with snacks, pee and potty routine and meds when necessary. She was a kind and wonderful woman with a strong sense of honor and commitment, never failing to provide our seniors with everything they needed despite her serious health issues. Gerry passed away in March of this year after losing her battle with cancer. Her incredible family and friends know all too well how much of Gerry’s heart beat for these senior dogs, naming one after her, especially one so beautiful and perfect as this, was oh so right. |
Meryl Streep
This incredible new therapy dog talent came to us from our friends at Peach County Animal Rescue, who had her for a few months and were perplexed that no one was stepping up for her. Almost blind, hard of hearing, she has a bent and broken little body but the heart of a lion...and this miniature powerhouse is a whopping 16 years old! Meryl, with her funny, feisty nature but soft-as-a-rabbit fur is an awesome addition to our working dog pack at Frankie and Andy’s Place. |
Vivien Leigh
Vivien came to us from Hickory Level Hound Rescue after being found a stray. This chihuahua loves to be cuddled and is very affectionate with the other dogs. She like many of the seniors, is always up for meal and snack time! She is such a delightful addition to our crew. |
Tom Hanks
Tom came to us from Society of Humane Friends and had been in foster care for a year. At 14/15 years of age, this little poodle mix is a sweet as he can be. He quickly walked in and grabbed a bed with Cher…then Kiefer…then JLo…and anyone else who would let him snuggle! This little guy is almost deaf and sight compromised, but he doesn’t let it hold him back. He is so friendly and loves attention. |
Sam Elliott
Sam Elliott came to us along with his sister Rihanna from Dream Dachshund Rescue after being surrendered by their owner to Polk County Animal Shelter. At 14 years of age, he came to us with a “chesticle” that reminded us so much of another doxie we had, Donald. He is very friendly and loves to sing us some of his AROO tunes and can usually be found snuggling with his sister, Rihanna. |
Rihanna
Rihanna came to us along with her brother Sam Elliott from Dream Dachshund Rescue after being surrendered by their owner to Polk County Animal Shelter. At around 13 years of age, this girl may be up there in years, but she’s a bouncy ball of fun, despite having some serious disc issues. She is very calm and loves to be wherever her brother, Sam is. |
Parker Posey
This 16 year old delicately boned husky girl rocked our world from the minute we saw her picture from Hickory Level Hound Rescue. She has some several dental issues which often level her sore and tender around her mouth and head area. Her graceful beauty and fairy-like quality had us all madly in love with her from the get-go and we are so thankful to be giving her a forever home here at the cabin. |
Orville Redenbacher
This little black bear cub looking gem waltzed into our lives and straight into our hearts when one of our founding partners Penny Andrews rescued him on the spot from a difficult situation. At 12 years of age, this Chow mix has some back issues and needed a forever home with no stairs or jumpy dogs. A breath of fresh air to the cabin, this spunky little black fluff ball, with his charming snort and perma-grin is just the most amazing addition. |
David Beckham
A Whippet mix approximately 14 years old, our Beckham was found in a van that was pulled over by the police for a traffic violation. Inside were 19 dogs, a couple of dead dogs and cats, birds, some alive some dead. Can you imagine the horror when that police officer looked inside that vehicle? Thankfully the police officer did the right thing and took the animals, giving them a chance at a better life. He was at Peach County Animal Rescue for a good while. Even with their help, he was still severely undernourished and teeth were in horrible condition when we got him (can you imagine how bad it had to be before he was taken by the police?) Well, fast forward to today and he has really come out of his shell! We don’t call him a hot mess for nothing! Take your eyes off of him for a minute and you may find him trying to get in the trash (in a millisecond of turning your back!), jumping up on a crate, or as we saw yesterday, playing hide and seek in a storage bench! Oh how we love you, Beckham and the humor and life you bring to the cabin! Due to being starved for so long, he can be very food sensitive and cause a riff with the other dogs. Because of that, we have to feed him his food and treats on his own. But this guy is a lovebug and is happy sitting on the couch and snuggling next to you. |
Wanda sykes
Our sweet, smiley Shih Tzu came to us by our friends at Society of Humane Friends of Georgia who pulled her from an awful situation. This precious girl had to have both eyes removed after one had ruptured and the other was not far behind. She is an absolute sweetheart and just wants to be loved on and have a comfortable spot to rest. She has some skin issues as well as back issues, so she definitely needs support when picked up. We are absolutely in love with this angel and it breaks our hearts to think about the eye pain she endured but now she is living her best life! |
