We've given some thought to our FREE SPAY/NEUTER program.
Prices are going up, we had 6 NO SHOWS in the last week at the clinic, donations are down and there is simply a lack of participation. Very discouraging.
You've heard many people say we are not going to rescue our way out of this mess. Well, apparently, we aren't going to spay or neuter our way out either. It's unfathomable that we have to beg people to fix their dogs. And it's been FREE for the last 4 years!
Georgia Dog Advocates are not giving up quite yet. Effective April 1, 2026, everyone who books a S/N surgery appointment with us will be required to pay a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $50 to be applied to the cost of the surgery, including pain meds and a cone for EACH DOG.
You may also see us fundraising more often as we go through this year to help pay for these surgeries and build our medical fund for injured or sick dogs in need.
As usual, our finances are completely transparent, so anyone who wishes to see our statements or has any questions about our organization should feel free to email [email protected]
It pains all of us to begin charging a fee, but we still have a few years to go to make a small dent or die trying.

Cheryl Flanagan well I couldn't find the ones of AnnaBelle & Lilly Belle (I think that was their names). I think I remembered it so vividly because I had everyone in deep relaxation and the baby was curious so I had to get up and walk around to keep her from stepping on folks, it was hysterical...but it is embedded in my brain like a picture lol.
But I sure found alot of me and my sweetie Patch, we sure had our yogi brain connection. I loved that boy.

With Georgia Dog Advocates – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉 So honored to be able to help this nonprofit whenever I can. Lisa Pelletier and her crew do such great work advocating for our less fortunate pups, providing food, training, help with medical, spay & neuter, not to mention all the help she gives rescues.

After exploring different days and times, weekly class attendance, sadly, remains inconsistent, and I’ve chosen—after much reflection—to shift into an alternating class rhythm and focus more on specialty events. This was not an easy decision, but it allows for deeper, more intentional gatherings that feel aligned and nourishing.
Starting in February, classes will be held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday and the 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 5:30 to 6:45pm. We will see if this allows for more flexibility for everyone.
I hope you all can understand my decision, I'm not giving up yet, just trying one more idea to accommodate. It is my hope that we can revive our little Kula and keep going and growing, it just may be in a different direction.
Blessings and love
