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.

We love being a foster!
MEET… Crosby! 🩵
Crosby is a ~9 month old happy-go-lucky fella who’s always smiling- literally! He’s easygoing, affectionate, and ready to bring nonstop joy to his forever family. He adores kids, gets along great with all animals, and is always up for a good play session. Ropes, balls, toys—if it squeaks or bounces, Crosby’s in!
This playful boy thrives in an active home where he can burn off his energy and have fun with his people. He loves romping with other dogs and has gotten along with every pup he’s met so far. While he’s still working on polishing up a few manners, Crosby already knows sit, shake, and goes into his crate on command like a champ. Plus, he’s both crate and potty trained!
Crosby is the total package of fun, sweetness, and potential. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy with a big heart and even bigger smile, Crosby’s your guy 🫶🏼

He’s a handsome fella for sure!
We don’t have just one pet to spotlight this week because honestly, we’re drowning.
Yesterday we were asked to help a cat. Not just any cat- a baby, ~6-8 months old, who just gave birth. We had one open foster, so we said yes.
Then we found out she had NINE kittens. A literal baby, now raising nine of her own.
And while we’re doing what we always do—cleaning kennels, scooping litter boxes, giving meds, answering messages, coordinating fosters—we’re also watching our inbox fill up with pleas for help. Dogs on death row. Puppies dumped in boxes. Seniors surrendered after years in a home.
And every one of them deserves a shot. But we’re at capacity.
We’ve got 8+ dogs still waiting for foster homes- some who've already been waiting weeks.
We wish people understood what an absolute crapshoot animal welfare is right now. Shelters are full. Fosters are tapped out. Donations are down. Intakes are at an all time high.
And the only way to stop this cycle—for good—is SPAY & NEUTER. That’s it. No adoption event, no feel-good fundraiser, no perfect family can undo what happens when animals are left to multiply in a world with nowhere for them to go.
So today we’re asking for $5. Not because it's a miracle fix. But because right now, it means a bag of food. It means chipping away at the vet bill that keeps us up at night. 🙃
And maybe—just maybe—it means we can say yes to one more.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you. 🫶🏼
If you’re able to donate, it truly helps keep us going. If you can’t give, sharing this post could be the reason someone else does. And if nothing else, please talk about spay/neuter. It’s not the glamorous part of rescue, but it’s the ONLY way this ever gets better.

✨Meet Soup!✨
Soup is a 1.5 year old female ferret that loves to jump around, play, explore or just cozy up in her favorite hammock and sleep the day away. She’s crate/potty trained and is the sweetest thing you’ll meet. She’s enjoys her ferret tunnel, any small toy she can stash away or playing on her ferret tree making the cutest little ferret noises. She is on a daily medication for heart protection but that doesn’t stop her from being as crazy and silly as she can be.🩷

Introducing Princess Chloe. Previously known as Yertel the Turtle.
This week’s $5 Friday is for four beautiful souls who were almost out of time.
They were sitting quietly in a small municipal shelter in Georgia, one of so many trying to do the impossible every day. Good, loving dogs end up on “last chance” lists simply because there aren’t enough hands, homes, or resources. These four were on that list.
Three of them are super seniors. Sweet, gentle hearts with cloudy eyes and gray faces who have clearly known love before… and lost it. There’s something unspeakably painful about seeing a senior dog wait behind a kennel door on cold, concrete floor, confused and alone in their final chapter.
The fourth dog is younger, but in rough shape. Her skin is raw, itchy, and painful from long-term neglect. And two of the four are heartworm positive, which is sadly so, so common in our area.
We said yes because our hearts wouldn’t let us say anything else. They deserve to spend their golden days in a home filled with love.
They’re at the vet today getting the care they’ve gone far too long without. We’re hoping for the best, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t nervous. They’re older. They’ve been through a lot. We’re bracing for the news that may come, but still holding on to hope. 🤞🏻
If you’re able, please consider donating just $5 today. It might not seem like much, but it helps us cover the medical care, treatment, and comfort these dogs need. Most importantly, it reminds them that they’re not forgotten.
And if you’ve ever loved a senior dog, you know that they are truly something special. They ask for so little and give SO much. 🩵
A very special thank you to Keyla TeAnn Photography - Savannah GA, who captured them so beautifully 🥹

Updates after their initial vet visits today are in!
Rogaine Robert is deaf, has mature cataracts in both eyes resulting in a continual loss of his eye sight that requires drops for life (for lubrication), and a grade 3 heart murmur to boot. While he is old (like, old old) he is still surprisingly ready to get up and go for walks and get some good booty scratches. He is incredibly docile/easy going, and has been such a friendly boy with tail wags for attention. We would love to find him his final home for his golden weeks/months 🩷 his adoption fee will be sponsored for an approved family all continual medical care covered by rescue if you believe you’re that home.
Gummy Bear had bilateral ear infections, and a wicked skin infection. She’s on antibiotics and steroids for her skin and will need to be bathed with medicated shampoo twice a week, but is extremely dog friendly and adores every person she meets. She is also looking for a foster home 🩷
Polly Pocket had infection in one ear, and while she does have multiple lumpy-bumps from age, our vet believes they’re all benign! She is also dog friendly, but a very large gal so will likely do best with medium/large dogs. She, too, is looking for a foster 🩷
Mushroom has a significant skin infection and is now also on antibiotics for her skin with a plan to be bathed twice weekly with medicated shampoo. She is heartworm positive and will be treated when her skin is in better condition. She is the sweetest, stinkiest little gargoyle we’ve ever met, and she has found a foster 🩷
Thank you all for your support for these amazingly deserving dogs! ... See MoreSee Less
