How We Began...
It was Labor Day 2005 when Richard and Sue Daniels from Waynesboro, Burke County, GA set off on a camping trip to Modoc, SC in their RV. Little did they know they would meet a friend for life in the form of an old black dog. When Richard and Sue first met Old Fella, he was a stray roaming around for scraps of food at their campsite. Many travelers had fed Old Fella during the five years he had been there, but it was Richard who could not get the harrowing image of this miserable animal out of his mind.

| Help us to be Home for the Holidays! (December 2012) |
 |
 |
| A generous donation of 3.5 acres will soon be home to Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue, if capital can be raised by December 2012. |
Old Fella, like the animals it saves, is homeless. We rely on foster homes to provide shelter for our rescued animals. OLD FELLA NEEDS A HOME. Thanks to a generous land donation as well as area business’ support, Old Fella will finally have a home, a permanent place for us, but still a temporary home for Burke County’s homeless pets on the road to their forever home.
With the generous donation came the stipulation that Old Fella must have a certificate of occupancy by December 2012 or the land will revert back to the original owner. The Board of Directors and members of Old Fella have developed plans for The Old Fella Burke County Animal Adoption and Education Center. It is our hope that with these facilities, we will continue to reduce the numbers of homeless animals in Burke County and across the CSRA by continuing what we have been improving on for the past five years.
Our plans include a 4,000 sq. ft. building. Its purpose would be a combined intake/education and adoption center. This building will be a safe haven for even more of Burke County’s homeless companion animals as well as an education center to be used for educational activities, meetings, special events and adoptions.

| BINGO |
A puppy named Bingo is Burke County's Old Fella Animal Rescue's 2000th rescued animal. Bingo's mother didn't take advantage of Old Fella's Spay Neuter program and I guess you know the rest of the story. Mom is a full-blooded Sheltie , but his father took the high road and is still at large.
Old Fella has been faithful to Burke County's unwanted and stray animals for over 5 years and has made a huge difference in their quality of life. A big THANK YOU to the volunteers past and present who have given so much to the animals of Burke Co. Old Fella continues to thrive because of our volunteers tireless commitment and passion for animals.

Foster
Homes
Old Fella cats and dogs are living in our homes. Foster parents allow our orphans to become part of their families until a forever family is found. Our animals are usually socialized with dogs, cats, and children, depending on the foster home. When you adopt an Old Fella, our foster parents will be able to tell you about your new pet's personality so that you will know what to expect. |

Basic
Obedience Training
Not only are Old Fella dogs crate trained; but, by the time they are adopted, they have started basic obedience training. This includes walking on a leash, "sit", "down", and "stay". They are also being socialized with other dogs. All of this helps the new family and our little orphans. Our basic obedience classes are open to all adopters, at no charge.
