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.

Meet Cheddar…the most overlooked snack in the whole rescue fridge. 🧀💛
Cheddar is a ~1yo male 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.
He doesn’t demand much. He just wants a soft place to nap, a window to watch the world, and someone who loves him like family.
If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly, easygoing companion who’s aged to purr-fection, Cheddar’s your guy. Fill out the form below to meet him and find out why we all think he’s 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

Once upon a time… there was a 9lb princess named Moana 👑
Though small in size, her heart was mighty. At first, she may be a little shy (every proper princess guards her royal heart 😉), but with a little patience and love, she’ll soon become your most loyal and loving companion.
Moana adores her fellow furry subjects (other dogs), does well with children, and dreams of a fenced-in yard where she can frolic and twirl to her heart’s content.
She’s been waiting ever so patiently for her fairytale ending… could you be the hero who brings Moana’s happily ever after to life? ✨

Is the front a v neck ?
Is there any way these could come in toddler sizes?
Yesterday, a woman stopped by our clinic and left us a “gift.” Five soaking wet, horrified kittens. Taped inside a Tupperware tote, with a piece of cardboard as the lid. Dumped on our porch and left to suffocate if no one had found them in time.
Let us be absolutely clear: This is animal abandonment. And in the state of GA, it is illegal.
We did not say yes to these kittens. We do not have space for unplanned intakes right now. We have over 70 cats in rescue, and more than 55 of those have come in within just the last 45 days. We have a waitlist with hundreds of people who are doing the right thing– waiting their turn to surrender animals through proper channels. Now they must wait even longer, because we are once again forced to take in animals dumped on us without consent or resources.
Every single member of our team is already stretched beyond capacity. We all have foster animals in our homes, on top of our own pets, families, and full-time responsibilities. Many of our foster volunteers are caring for multiple fosters right now, because there simply aren’t enough homes to go around.
If you find an animal in need and you are not prepared to house or hold that animal, the hard truth is this: you need to leave it alone and call the appropriate authorities. That is what animal control exists for. If you want animal control to always have space, you need to understand that means more euthanasia happens. If you want rescues to have space, you need to actively support and promote adoption. You cannot oppose both and expect a solution to magically appear.
Please, stop adding to the crisis by dumping animals without permission.
Please, stop allowing your pets to contribute to the staggering number of animals with nowhere to go.
Please, stop excusing and enabling this kind of behavior.
And above all else, PLEASE stop taping living animals into boxes and walking away. We are a foster-based rescue, NOT a dropbox.
We will care for these kittens because we have no other choice. But we are drowning…financially, physically, emotionally. If you can spare even $5 today, it will go directly to providing food, vetting, and supplies for these kittens and the 70+ others already in our care.

Thank you for all your hard work. You are all amazing.
Animal Control straight up told us that stray cats “aren’t their primary responsibility. They told us to call the Humane Society or you. The Humane Society told us to call Animal Control or you. Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished and you are the victim of the agencies that should be responsible.
In the past I tried calling you guys multiple times to potentially save a kitten. Never could get someone on the phone, even went by in person and the place was closed. What are we supposed to do with animals when literally no one will help? Who can we contact for sure? I’m not being rude but I ran into a situation similar to this. It’s frustrating, and we need better ways for people to get help for these babies
