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.

I want them
Today’s Meet Me Monday is calling for a literal Hail Mary… 🙏🏼🚨
Lilac, our sweet 3-4-year-old house hippo, is in desperate need of a safe, loving home. She’s a one-of-a-kind gem—gentle, endlessly affectionate, and overflowing with love for her people. But right now, Lilac is living in a kennel at our clinic after her long-term foster situation changed, and it’s breaking her heart (and ours).
Lilac is a sweetheart to the core, gentle and devoted, with nothing but love to give. She lights up around people, ready to give her heart to anyone who’ll give her the chance. 💜
But there’s a catch—she needs to be the only pet in her home. Lilac also has food and environmental allergies, so she requires special care. She eats Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach (Salmon), will require seasonal allergy shots (Cytopoint) to keep her skin happy, as well as monthly anal gland expressions with a groomer or vets office.
We know Lilac’s needs make her a rare match, hence why we're calling for a Hail Mary. We’re asking for a miracle—a unicorn family who can love Lilac just as she is and give her the stable, happy life she deserves.
⭐️ If you can foster: Please, don’t wait—reach out today.
⭐️ If you can adopt: We’re waiving her adoption fee for the right family and will provide two months of her food.
⭐️ If you can’t foster or adopt: Please, help by sharing Lilac’s story. Each share could bring her closer to the loving home she deserves.
Lilac deserves so much more than a life in a kennel. It’s truly a lonely, heartbreaking life for a devoted, people-loving soul.
Will you be Lilac’s miracle? 🙏🏼😭

Ahoy, kind hearts! Meet Blinky, the bravest little pirate kitty who came to us from a local shelter! This sweet girl arrived with a ruptured eye which called for emergency surgery to remove it. 💔
Thanks to our incredible vet team, the surgery was a success and despite the rough start, Blinky has kept her sweet spirit and is now embracing life as a one-eyed wonder! 😻 With her enucleation surgery behind her, she’s on her way to a happy and healthy life filled with love.
But as you might imagine, getting here here wasn't easy. Between enucleation surgery, medications, and post-op care Blinky's journey has added up well over $1,000, and that’s just for this little pirate alone. Every dollar donated means we’re better equipped to save more animals, just like Blinky, who might otherwise not have a chance at their own happy endings.
If you’re able to contribute, Blinky and her fellow rescue mates would be forever grateful! Even the smallest donation helps us cover the cost of her surgery, follow-up care, and the ongoing expenses for all our other fur-babies in need.
💌 From Blinky (who sends lots of purrs!) and all of us here at FTB, thank you for being the kind-hearted people who make these second chances possible 🫶🏼

🦴 MEET LOUIE 🦴
Louie is a 3.5-month-old mixed-breed bundle of pure sweetness! His favorite things? Chewing on bones, zooming around in a game of chase, and melting into snuggles. 🥰 He is all heart and happiness!
This smart little fella already knows how to sit and is doing fantastic with his potty training—he’s a quick learner! Louie gets along well with dogs and cats, though he is still learning not everyone wants to play as much as he does 🤣.
Ready to add some puppy love to your home? Louie’s waiting for you! 🩵

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to provide pet food to families affected by Hurricane Helene in our community. It was an incredible effort, and our community showed up BIG for those in need. 🩵🙏🏼
However, the need was greater than anticipated, and we had to rent a moving truck to safely deliver supplies. As often happens during emergencies, the costs added up quickly—what we estimated at $500 ended up being $1,200. 😫
While we don’t regret a single penny spent—because helping others is truly what we love to do—these unexpected costs have been a bit tough for us to manage, especially as we continue to handle our existing vet bills. As a small town rescue, we do our best to make a difference whenever we can, but sometimes we find ourselves needing a little extra help to keep going.
Just a few dollars would make an enormous difference as we work to cover these costs and continue supporting both our rescue animals and our community. We understand times are tough for everyone, and we are beyond grateful for any support you can offer, even if it’s as simple as sharing our post!
Thank you for continuously showing up for our little rescue and the animals in our community—we couldn’t do this without your unwavering support. 🫶🏼

Vet Tech Week is upon us. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight our staff that works tirelessly to care for every animal that comes into our care. Not only do they help with clinic operations, but they volunteer their time to help with our animal rescue.
We would also like to thank the organizations that took time out of their week to bring special treats for our staff: Paws 'n Reflect Pet Cremation, The Humane Society of Statesboro & Bulloch County, Inc., SPAY CLAX and Virbac. It means so much to everyone here! ... See MoreSee Less
