Georgia Rescue, Rehabilitation & Relocation
Special people for special dogs and special cats
Founded in 2011, GRRR is a small 501(c)(3) rescue organization that serves Chatham County in coastal Georgia as well as surrounding counties in the area. Based in Savannah, we are dedicated to rescuing senior dogs and small breed dogs from owners who are no longer able to care for them, from public shelters without a "no-kill" policy and from situations where a senior or small breed dog has suffered abuse or neglect. We are committed to helping all senior dogs and believe that no matter what the age or health condition, every rescued senior dog deserves to find their last stop loved. All dogs rescued by GRRR are spayed or neutered, receive full veterinary treatment, immunizations and microchips. We are a foster based organization and all rescued dogs are placed in loving foster homes while awaiting adoption into carefully screened forever homes. Many of our senior dogs rescued are placed into forever foster homes where GRRR supports all financial costs for the dog while they live out their remaining months or years.
Bonnie & Jessie are seeking a forever home
Meet Bonnie and Jessie with GRRR who are the sweetest pair of dogs and are looking for their last stop loved. After losing their dad, eight year old Bonnie and nine year old Jessie found themselves at the Bartow County Animal Control. After living there for over a month, GRRR rescued the youthful senior girls and transported them to Savannah. GRRR has successfully treated Jessie for heartworm disease as well as fully vetted both girls in preparation for a loving forever home. They are sweet, affectionate, interact well with other dogs and would make the perfect addition to any family and home. If you would like to meet this perfect pair, please complete our application by visiting the adoption tab above.

Dash is seeking his Last Stop Loved
GRRR Georgia Rescue is seeking a forever foster or adoptive home (with a yard) for ten year old Dash. We placed him two years ago but changes in his current environment have required us to find another home for him (no fault of his).
Dash is not only sweet but a pure delight and would love to spend his golden years with the right person or family. He’s great with other dogs. You want to meet Dash!
Just a couple of reminders: All GRRR dogs must be placed in smoke free environments with a secure fenced yard. Dash’s veterinary facility is in midtown Savannah so a forever foster must be within driving distance to his veterinarian. Would you like more information on this handsome boy? Please reach out to LeeAnn with GRRR at (912) 308-9231
Sweet Reese finds his forever home!
Congratulations to Reese on finding his forever home joining siblings Cricket, Sofie, Delma, Flossie and two loving parents! Reese is fourth from left. This was the best Christmas present any dog could ever receive and we celebrate Reese’s happy new life and happy new home!
Last Stop Loved
Senior Dog Program
_JPG.jpg)
The Last Stop Loved Senior Dog Program has brought an incredible new dimension of meaning and advocacy to our vision at GRRR, enhancing everything we do as an animal rescue organization. We realize that senior dogs face a much greater chance of euthanasia at shelters than younger dogs because it is difficult to find homes for them due to their shorter life expectancy and unforeseen veterinary costs. Also, many senior dogs are surrendered to us because their owner might of passed away and family members are unable to make the commitment to take in the senior dog.
The name Last Stop Loved represents a final place where senior dogs can find incredible love and caring as they spend their last days on earth. Working specifically with senior dogs over the age of seven, our program strives to find these special seniors either forever foster or adoptive homes where they can live out their retirement years as a beloved family member.
If you would like to provide a senior dog a forever foster home or forever adoptive home, please reach out to Perry Brandon with GRRR at (912) 695-2415. If you would like to donate towards the care of our senior dogs, please visit: https://donorbox.org/grrr-s-last-stop-loved-senior-dog... for information on becoming a supporter of our program
Chewie discovers care and hope
Sweet lil’ Chewie had her intake exam today with Dr. Becker at Eastside. We are thankful she is in our care now, the poor little girl demonstrates much neglect. Look at the giant growths in
the ears from chronic infection and inflammation. Look at the nails as long as the George Washington Bridge she was forced to walk on. Matted fur everywhere including obstructing her anus. People’s irresponsibility with their animals is truly horrible.
The good news? She left Eastside today, fully immunized, HW tested, nails cut, mats on her anus shaved and a surgery date established for removal of the ear tumors and spay on the 30th of this month. Chewie will ring in the new year 48 hours after surgery as a whole new dog. Thank you to everyone on our team making this happen including Dr. Becker. Chewie may not realize it yet, but there are many people who believe that she is the most important little girl in the world.
Three amazing paraplegic dogs who joined GRRR
Hello! This is Perry with GRRR. Today I would like you to meet three amazing paraplegic dogs that live with me at my home in Savannah; Allegra, Lucky and Theodore. Lucky is actually a paraplegic-tripod who prior to GRRR rescuing him was mauled by a larger dog who severed a leg off and broke his spine.
Allegra and Theodore were hit by cars prior to us rescuing them.
While some people may view these three dogs as broken bodies, we at GRRR only see mended hearts.
This is what we do at GRRR and everyone one who volunteers and fosters at GRRR Georgia Rescue, Rehabilitation & Relocation is so incredibly inspired by the senior/special needs dogs that we rescue and foster. These dogs fill our lives with absolute joy.
If you'd like to share in this happiness and join our group of foster parents, please send me a text message to (912) 695-2415 and say "Perry - I want to join you all!" I do promise a call back that same day to talk with you. Thank you!
Zeus is looking for a best friend and a forever home
Meet Zeus with GRRR. Zeus is one delightfully sweet dog who loves
to play hard and snuggle with his person even harder! He loves car rides, shopping at Home Depot, walks on his leash and binge watching your favorite Netflix series with you. Zeus would make a best friend and forever companion to the lucky person who adopts him. Zeus is five years young and requires a fenced yard and an active adopter. If you would like to meet Zeus, please begin the process by completing our application.
- Approved application for adoption is required before meet and greet appointments can be established. GRRR requires a smoke free home for all of our animals and requires a secure fenced yard for most of our dogs.
- GRRR is a foster based rescue serving the coastal areas of southeast Georgia and South Carolina and prefers to adopt out to approved homes within 75 miles of Savannah, Georgia.

Effective today, GRRR will only be adopting animals to smoke free homes. Our current application will be adding questions regarding potential adopters smoking habits. People who smoke are still welcome to adopt but they must be smokers who do not smoke in their home or car, places where your pet might be exposed to second or third hand smoke. Dogs and cats spend most of their time on or near the floor, where tobacco smoke compounds concentrate in house dust, carpets, and rugs. Dogs and cats can absorb these compounds through their skin and inhale them in contaminated house dust or as ultra-fine particles and gases that were released back into the air. Please read the attached FDA report regarding the incredible harm smoking has on your pets. We have had multiple rescued animals suffering from COPD and chronic respiratory issues after spending their previous lives in a smokers home. If you are smoking around your pet, stop and be a bit more responsible. Loving your pet includes providing them with a smoke free environment. Over the next few weeks we will continue to post information regarding this critically important topic and hope it helps in changing the life of a dog or cat who might be living with a person who follows us on our social media sites. Please visit the link below for more information and to realize that we at GRRR are just not blowing smoke:
