Pete and Penny started Frankie and Andy's Place with a dream of helping senior dogs live out their lives in comfort and love. They and their volunteers provide a much needed service for these precious dogs.
Some of the canine residents make a trip to the Senior assisted living and nursing homes weekly. Thus, spreading love and good cheer to the human population as well.
Thanks to Penny and Pete for providing this sanctuary for senior dogs of all breeds.
Wow! Today was my first official day as a volunteer at Frankie and Andy's. From the moment I got to the cabin door, i was greeted by several senior dogs just waiting to be loved on. Their cabin is awesome, set up with comfy sofas and doggie beds for them to lounge in comfort. Just out the door is a beautiful fenced in yard just for the furkids to roam and relax. It truly made my heart happy to be part of Frankie and Andys. I met two other wonderful volunteers while there. It's such a "homey" feel. I signed up for a 2 hour slot but before I knew it, i had been there 3 hours. I only wish more rescues could be like Frankie and Andy's. I am looking forward to my next day spending with all the special senior fur kids. What an awesome place.
I have spent a little time and seen what they have done with our donations. What a wonderful mission to provide elderly abandoned dogs a place to live out their lives with not just dignity, but with joy. I would love to go there when I am too old to care for myself, but it is just for dogs.
Frankie and Andy's Place is a wonderful senior shelter ! All the seniors that are at FAAP were given a second chance at life . Most of them would not have made it out of the shelters . The volunteers give so much love and care to the seniors , but get more back in return . This place is amazing
Frankie and Andy's Place is heaven on earth for senior dogs that have been abandoned by their owners and wound up in county shelters. These loving souls are pulled from the shelters and immediately taken for vet checks and receive any medical help they need. Next stop is Frankie and Andy's place to meet their new friends both four and two legged and to see where they will be living out their days. Inside the cabin they have comfy couches, dog beds, blankets and they get the best food and supplements to keep them as strong and healthy as they can be. Many wonderful volunteers come to spend time loving on these sweet souls, taking them for walks on the beautiful property or just spending time outdoors with them in their own beautiful fenced acreage. Don't forget rides to the local senior home to spend time with some wonderful older folks, or just a nice ride to get a treat or enjoy some scenery while letting the wind blow their ears! I hope when I become a senior, there will be a place like Frankie and Andy's place for me!
Just before entering heaven is the Rainbow Bridge and just before crossing the bridge is Frankie & Andy's Place...a sanctuary where lost and forgotten canine souls enjoy loving care from dedicated volunteers, healthy and delicious meals, clean comfy beds to snuggle in...all in a beautiful cabin in the woods begging to be explored. This is an extrordinary home for end of life senior canines, who, in turn, bring companionship and joy to lonely and troubled folks in the community. How perfect!
Frankie and Andy's Place is one of a kind. This place truly is a haven for the senior dogs and people alike. These dogs are given the chance to live out their lives in a peaceful, serene environment surrounded by loving volunteers who are devoted to their care and quality of life. Not only do the dogs benefit from Frankie and Andy's Place, but the humans as well. These dogs offer support, emotional healing, acceptance and a sense of belonging to a "group" or "family". This organization is hands down the best out there!
This is a unique place where discarded senior dogs are given love, safety and shelter for their remaining time on earth. Frankie and Andy's Place is run by very caring and competent volunteers. By allowing professionally led groups to meet there is a perfect way for humans to have the opportunity to receive from as well as give love to the sweet elderly residents. As a professional who has used my dog in therapy, I know first hand the power of healing with canines. I will continue to support this organization and hope to be a volunteer in the future.
FAAP is truly an amazing place ! The Millers had a vision and I'm so lucky to be able to share it with them ! It's very therapeutic to volunteer at FAAP. The love and joy is shared by the residents and the volunteers
FAAP is an amazing dream come true not only for its residents but for the volunteers as well. We all dream of one day rescuing dogs, winning the lottery and opening a facility. Pete and Penny didn't dream, THEY MADE IT HAPPEN. Those animals that were once neglected, starving, dumped at the shelter for being "old" or for a new puppy are given a chance to live life as God intended them to; by our sides. The only thing better than opening another similar facility in the future would be to spend time here and love on these sweet, so grateful dogs! Consider donating to this amazing group! I've never met a better group, and the people are nice too! ;)
The people who run this place and those who volunteer are remarkable! Their deep and sincere love for the dogs is palpable. I cannot imagine a more loving setting for any dogs, but especially for the older dogs who no longer have homes of their own.
I've followed this organization since its inception and could not be more impressed with the work they're doing! Thank God for organizations like this that help save these beautiful dogs!
Frankie and Andy's Place is a singularly special life-saving dream come true for old souls who have loved loyally and given everything but who find themselves without a warm, caring, loving home in which to live out their lives. I love old dogs and they are true gems. Unfortunately, some people don't see them as the wonderful angels they are. An exception is the owners, staff and volunteers of Frankie and Andy's Place. I volunteer at Frankie and Andy's and enjoy spending time giving and receiving love with residents. These lucky dogs enjoy a home, a beautiful and peaceful environment, comfort, excellent care and food and they procide unconditional love and a source of happines for anyone lucky enough to spend time with them. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering with Frankie and Andy's Place...you will receive more than you give.
A dog is man's best friend and a man is a dog's best friend. Nowhere is this more evident than at Frankie and Andy's Place. The senior dogs in this center are rescued from shelters or other negative situations. They are given comfort, love, and security. In turn, they give those same things back to humans at senior centers and other situations where a little unconditional love and warmth is needed. The happiness on the dogs faces is undeniable and the love and dignity with which they are treated is amazing.
The Millers and their volunteers love dogs and are able to make the last days, weeks, or months of a dogs life a little piece of heaven in earth.
Beautiful atmosphere. Beautiful caregivers. Beautiful dogs.. We should all be so blessed to live our last good and bad days in such an environment surrounded with so much beauty and peace! Such an extraordinary mission of love.
Frankie and Andy's Place is a non-profit charity that answers prayers offered for many frosty-faced canines in need from all over the northeast GA area. It's a cabin nestled in the woods, offering rescued senior dogs a quiet place of repose--with love and nurturing from an all-volunteer staff as well as home cooked meals that meet the needs of each guest. As one of many volunteers and donors who enjoy spending time with our beloved seniors, I receive much more from them than I could ever give.
