GRRR'S LAST STOP LOVED SENIOR DOG PROGRAM
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.

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.
Helping to rehabilitate Rocky
Today is a big day for ten year old Rocky. Welcomed by Cindy, Rocky checked in this morning to spend the day with Dr. Mulvey at Savannah Veterinary Medical Center. He is being tested for Cushing’s disease. Cushing's disease in dogs occurs when the body produces too much cortisol, a steroid hormone. Symptoms include increased thirst, urination, and appetite, as well as hair loss, skin problems, and weight gain. Untreated, dogs will die from the disease. If treated, the disease can be managed with the dog remaining on daily medications for the duration of their life. Want to help support Rocky’s care?

OLIVE IS A HAPPY MEMBER OF OUR LAST STOP LOVED SENIOR DOG PROGRAM
Last stop loved. Three words that dramatically changes lives. Just ask Olive. In 2024 we discovered a ten year old heartworm positive dog who was on the euthanasia list at CCAS. We immediately rescued her and delivered her into the loving arms of her forever foster mom Ariel. GRRR also immediately started her on treatment for heartworm eradication and this picture taken yesterday tells the rest of the story. Spoiler alert: it’s the happiest story in the entire world with an absolutely incredible happy ending. GRRR’s Last Stop Loved Senior Dog Program is forever changing the lives of senior dogs and those that love senior dogs 365 days a year. Won't you join us?
