Pups N’ Such: A Rescue Boutique

Pups N’ Such is easily one of the most loving and best places from which to adopt a pet. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted a beagle. My girlfriend dropped off her sister’s dog at Pup’s N’ Such for a few hours and quickly texted me that there was an absolutely adorable little beagle-​mix pup at the store named Ruffles.
We went back the next day and I fell in love. We spoke with the owner, Emily, and she told us that Ruffles had caught Coccidia at the high kill shelter from which he was rescued and was sleeping off the meds. We kept coming back a few days in a row to play with Ruffles and the rest of the puppies who were incredibly sweet and friendly.
Emily was incredibly considerate and knowledgeable about the animals in her store and animals in general, due to her experience as a vet tech. She takes care of each of these animals as if they were her own. All the dogs and now kittens are microchipped, neutered/​spayed, healthy, and ready for adoption.
When she told us that most of these incredible doggies and kittens had been owner abandons AND came from high kill shelters, there was NO way we were going to leave that store without a pup. We kept coming back for Ruffles (who we now call Frodo, yes, like the Hobbit), and we have loved it ever since. When we came to take him home, Emily had informed us that Frodo’s tests came back positive for Giardia (a stomach bug). She took him to Trusted Friend Animal Clinic at her expense and paid for all the medications he would need. She did not want us leaving that place without a healthy pup.
Emily took amazing care of Frodo and offered us tons of great information and advice on being first time 3 month old puppy owners. For example, she told us not to take Frodo to a doggy park so soon as his immune system was not fully developed yet, and he could catch Parvo.
Pups N Such has great doggy stuff at the store along with food, treats, really unique collars, and toys. We were almost sad that we couldn’t take more of the doggies home as Frodo became really good friends with Hans Kitten Anderson, Fitz, Taffy, Bones, Tinker, and Tootsie (she cleans his ears for him).
For those of you that don’t want to go to a shelter and worry about what sort of dog or cat you are getting, this is an amazing alternative. These little guys deserve a good home and Emily provides a fantastic start for them. The only time they are really ever in their crates is at night, when they are asleep. Otherwise, Emily or Katie are at the store playing with them most of the day and wearing them out. I highly recommend this place if you are considering adopting. Not only can you save an animal that would have been killed, but you can also support this great business and the wonderful owner. My girlfriend has now become great friends with both Katie and Emily and they text back and forth regularly as they always love being updated on the status of their adopted rescues. I will absolutely keep coming back to this place for just about everything doggy related I could need.

I think Pups N’ Such is absolutely brilliant. We have a huge over-​population of homeless pets in Georgia and Pups N’ Such has stepped in with a solution that allows folks to adopt/​rescue in a fun, interactive environment, (vs having to go to an animal control or shelter which many people find too sad).
I popped in one afternoon just to check the place out and had a blast getting to meet all the various little dogs available, all already spayed/​neutered, vaccinated, etc. The owner even put a doggie outfit I was interested in on one of the pups so I could see how cute it looked.
And, I left with the most awesome Captain America/​Iron Man Marvel Comics collar for my big 55+ lb boy that I continue to get compliments on! Of course, I still wished I had bought some of the cute stuffed toys available as well (they have ones in all different vegetable shapes that are adorable).
Truly, I think Pups N’ Such is exactly what this town, state, and country need more of… a way to highlight the amazing dogs needing homes in a great, easy to access location, without supporting puppy mills as most traditional pet stores do.
I highly recommend you stop by and check out Pups N’ Such soon!
