Arcadia Animal Rescue

Arcadia Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering of abused and abandoned animals. At Arcadia, animals are valued and the human-animal bond is celebrated. Our vision is a modern-day “Arcadia” or Utopia for all animals. While we know this is an ambitious goal, it is one we will tirelessly strive for. No animal should be euthanized to save space, because it is unwanted, or because of the inconvenience of care.

Meet Gaston

Meet Gaston! The charming 2-year-old, 19-pound ball of resilience with a heart as big as his dreams! This little warrior has conquered a traumatic past and emerged victorious. Gaston was rescued by Arcadia from a high-kill shelter in Georgia. He was on the euthanasia list because his reactivity mirrored the pain he had endured. However, since finding refuge in his foster home, Gaston has transformed into a tiny but mighty force for love and cuddles. He has formed a special bond with his foster family that has helped him decompress and rediscover the joys of life. Despite his initial tough exterior, Gaston is a total softy. He is fiercely protective of his chosen pack, whether it's the family he lives with or those introduced to him by his trusted humans. Currently, Gaston is working on his leash reactivity, and the progress he's made is nothing short of remarkable. His dedication to rehabilitation is evident, and he's looking for a forever home with someone committed to continuing his journey at a slow and steady pace. He enjoys the company of his foster family's two small resident dogs. Playtime is his favorite, but he's also a cuddle connoisseur and a master of giving affectionate kisses. To ensure Gaston's ongoing success, he is seeking a home that understands the importance of patience and compassion in his rehabilitation. He would be best in a home without children. If you're ready to welcome this adorable softy with open arms and commit to being his partner in healing, Gaston is eager to be the loyal companion you've been searching for, so please contact Anne-Marie on 919 608 9314 ASAP.
