VOLUNTEER/FOSTER
Love is all you needOur volunteers and fosters are an integral part of what we do, and we are constantly in need of fosters and volunteers. Fostering helps us save lives by providing a temporary, loving, and restful retreat for animals in need. We provide all supplies and cover all vet care; fostering does not cost you anything but time and love!
We are always in need of volunteers! From helping at our events to taking care of animals and assisting at the clinic, we have several volunteer opportunities available.
ADOPT
FIND YOUR NEW BEST FRIENDOne of the best ways to reduce the overpopulation of stray or unwanted pets is to adopt! Our rescue program is for dogs, cats, birds, guniea pigs, ferrets and small animals that are pulled from community owners and local municipal shelters. Transports are utilized often, and our partnerships with our networking rescues are invaluable. We are proud to uphold an unfaltering relationship with the Bulloch County Animal Shelter and its wonderful staff.
All of our animals are spayed/neutered and given all vaccinations before they are released to their new home.

🚨 Critical Supply Shortage! 🚨
$5 Friday
In just the past 48 hours, we’ve taken in 13 new dogs. Six of them are small breed adults who came out of a hoarding case. Two of which are already being treated for demodex mange, which means medication, medicated baths, and care to get them comfortable again. The other seven are ~6wo puppies who were scheduled to be euthanized on Wednesday (6/25).
Yes, you read that right… seven tiny puppies. Pulled from a rural municipal shelter where they were hours away from losing their lives. Not because anyone wanted that outcome, but because there are simply too many. Too many litters. Too many strays. Not enough adopters. Not enough fosters. Not enough resources to save them all.
Every single day, puppies just like them are born into a world that doesn’t have space for them. Literally born to die. And this is what it looks like in real time… seven adorable little babies on a list because there was nowhere for them to go.
We said yes because someone had to. But saying yes doesn’t make the costs disappear. Every one of these dogs needs vaccines, deworming, preventatives, spay/neuter, food, and supplies. Some need treatment for skin conditions. Just the basics for these 13 dogs will cost thousands.
If you've ever thought about fostering, PLEASE sign up using the link below. We can’t keep saying yes without more help. If you can’t foster, even $5 makes a difference toward their care. And if you can’t donate or foster, it would mean so much if you could share this post. 💛

EVERYONE! Let’s each donate $2 or $5, if able! I just donated $5 through Cashapp. If we ALL do that, these babies will be ok!
my heart breaks for all of these innocent souls.
Besides money what other donations do you need?

🚨 FOSTERS NEEDED 🚨
We’re begging. Pleading. Manifesting foster homes with every fiber of our dog-hair-covered beings. We provide all necessary supplies– you prove the love!
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “One day I’ll foster…” this is the universe grabbing your shoulders and yelling, “TODAY IS THE DAY.”
Please foster. Or share. Or both. These 3 sweethearts desperately need a soft place to land. 💛

Oh this is so sad! I’m from the Statesboro area but my primary residence is in Griffin which is a good ways from Statesboro. Is there a milage restriction with fostering?
🐇 Smudge is still searching for his someone special! 💕
This mellow little man is the total package—neutered, friendly, and full of charm. Smudge is the kind of bunny who’s happy to lounge beside you, nibble a snack, and enjoy the quiet life.
He’s laid-back, low-maintenance, and just waiting for a cozy corner to call his own. 🛋️🥬
If you’ve got room in your heart for a soft, sweet companion, Smudge would love to meet you!

What a handsome boy! Praying he finds his forever home soon. 🩵 To anyone considering adopting him—speaking as a bunny mom of two—they are truly the BEST companions! So unique and different from your typical dog or cat (they are great too!). If you’d like to learn more about bunny care, the House Rabbit Society website is an amazing resource with tons of helpful info! & to Fixing the Boro, thank you for looking after him (and all the other pets) while they wait for their forever families! 🩵

A few weeks ago, five kittens were dumped on our porch. Soaking wet. Terrified. Taped inside a plastic tote with a piece of cardboard as a lid.
Of course, we took them in, because what choice did we have?
Well, those 5 kittens showed up with panluekemia (feline parvovirus). Highly contagious. Deadly.
We are heartbroken, truly, to share that 3 of those kittens have since gone to kitty heaven. 💔 The remaining 2 are hanging on by a thread.
And in the scramble to find fosters (which took nearly a week) they contaminated areas of our clinic. We were closed during this time THANKFULLY and no animals outside of the group have been affected.
This is why we have an intake list. This is why we ask people to contact Animal Control if they can’t hold an animal because they have proper isolation space, proper protocols to prevent outbreaks.
We are a foster-based rescue with a tiny low-cost spay/neuter clinic for community pets. We do not have a safe quarantine space. We do not have extra staff to clean 24/7. We simply cannot safely intake animals this way- and this is exactly why we have a process.
And if that wasn’t enough this week… now we have Winnie. A tiny, ~10 week old mixed breed puppy who was found dumped in a ditch. She came to us with sarcoptic mange and within 3 days she was fighting for her life at Savannah Emergency with Parvo to boot. Her vet bill is already pushing $3000.
So here we are. Tired. Drowning in bills. Emotionally beat. And more animals in need than we can keep up with.
If you can spare $5 today, it will go straight to these babies. To Winnie. To the kittens. To keeping this rescue going through another week like this.

💥 Update! Cheddar girl has finally been adopted! 🥳🥳
Meet Cheddar…the most overlooked snack in the whole rescue fridge. 🧀💛
Cheddar is a ~1yo female tabby who’s somehow been in rescue for almost a year…despite being great with dogs, cats, and kids, and having the kind of mellow, loving personality people say they’re looking for.
She doesn’t demand much. She just wants a soft place to nap, a window to watch the world, and someone who loves her like family.
If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly, easygoing companion who’s aged to purr-fection, Cheddar’s your gal. Fill out the form below to meet bee and find out why we all think shes the real big cheese. 🥰

After a heavy week, today we just want to say…thank you. Truly, from the bottom of our hearts.
Because for every sad story we share, there are faces like these, the before and afters that prove your support is changing lives.
The puppies who barely survived Parvo, now tearing through their homes, tails wagging, causing chaos (the good kind 😉).
The senior dog who was hours from being euthanized in an overcrowded shelter, now spoiled rotten in a home of his own.
The kittens who came in filthy, crawling with fleas, eyes sealed shut, now purring, playing, and finally healthy.
This. This is what your support makes possible.
Not every rescue is visible. Not every fight makes it to social media. But please hear this: EVERY single dollar. EVERY single foster. EVERY person who speaks up and stands with us– you are part of these transformations.
Today, we hope these photos remind you that even in the hardest, most exhausting moments of this work— hope is still alive here. And it’s here because of YOU.
Thank you for standing with us through the heartbreak and most importantly, the wins. We couldn’t do it without you.💛🩵 ... See MoreSee Less

Can you tell me if Bunny is still available for adoption?
I am not sure if our Betty girl is more thankful for y’all saving her…or if we are!
Thank you for everything you do!
