SPCA shelter of the week.

Save-A-Life, Inc. (Savannah, GA)

We were created to save adoptable animals from local shelters and to help prevent overpopulation of companion animals through low cost spaying and neutering.




Save-A-Life, Inc., based out of Savannah, Georgia, is an all-volunteer organization created to save adoptable animals from local shelters and to help prevent overpopulation of companion animals through low cost spaying and neutering. For more than four decades, Save-A-Life has assumed a leadership role in advocating low-cost spaying and neutering in order to help prevent the deaths of unwanted, homeless dogs and cats. Dedicated volunteers are crucial to the success of the organization which is funded entirely through donations and fundraising activities.
Save-A-Life primarily rescues animals from the Chatham County Animal Control shelter. Without Save-A-Life stepping in to help, many of these animals would have been euthanized after only a three-day holding period at the Animal Control shelter. Once pulled from the shelter, these animals are placed into caring foster homes throughout the Savannah area until they are ready to be adopted into the permanent loving homes they deserve. In addition to helping dogs and cats, Save-A-Life also assists with birds and rabbits.
Save-A-Life also operates an impressive and effective low cost spay and neuter voucher program. Save-A-Life offers discount vouchers, redeemable at a number of local participating veterinary clinics, to the public to promote spaying and neutering. In addition, Save-A-Life underwrites all additional veterinary charges on the spay and neuter vouchers. To date, over 2100 animals have been helped thanks to the low cost spay voucher.
On occasion, Save-A-Life also provides medical assistance to those individuals who could not otherwise afford to care for their pets.
Due to the limited space in their foster care program, Save-A-Life is not always able to take in all the abandoned, homeless or unwanted pets in Savannah. Save-A-Life has addressed this situation by developing the Pet Placement Assistance Program. This program assists people who have found strays, or who can no longer keep their own pets, by providing them with the tools and necessary information to place these animals into safe environment with a pet caregiver
In recognition of their excellent programs on behalf of animal welfare, SPCA International has selected Save-A-Life as Shelter of the Week. “It will assist us in continuing to provide low-cost spaying and neutering in our area. With the increasing prices, this is a huge blessing for us,” said Pam Hunt, Business Manager.
Your generous contribution to the Shelter of the Week Program will allow SPCA International to continue to recognize future organizations for their lifesaving efforts.
