Update: Clyde has been found. He is safe and on his way back to the adoption center!

HSGS pup Clyde went missing this evening around 9pm on Garden Acres Way in Pooler, Ga. Last seen going into the woods in the area. He is wearing a yellow martingale collar with a tag that has Humane Society for Greater Savannah information. He is also microchipped. He is very scared and timid so please DO NOT CHASE! He is very dog friendly and may be lured out with another dog. But again DO NOT CHASE! Keep eyes on him and call 912-429-1042

Sweet Dixie ❤️

In 2023, Dixie was adopted from CCAS by her previous owner and was very loved! Sadly, he suffered a stroke and could no longer take care of her. While trying to find a family who could help with Dixie, she was passed around from home to home until a good friend of the family reached out to see if there was anything we could do. We were able to act pretty quickly so that she was safe, but when she first came to us, she was SO timid and scared. She just sat, trembling, in the back corner of her kennel.

BUT, after a few days, with a lot of patience and a whole lotta love (and treats of course 😉) we were able to help her feel safe and calm. We even put her into our playgroups which is where she really blossomed!

Even better news, Dixie was recently adopted by a family who sent us this message with an update…

“Hi there! Wanted to share some pics and video of Dixie as she settles into her new home. While she’s still a little skiddish around new noises, she is loving all the hugs, playtime and playing with her new BFF, BG (the small dog). We can’t thank you enough for caring for Dixie while she found her forever home! We love her so much!”

These pictures though! 🥹 After all that Dixie has been through, we are so happy that she is settled, content and fitting right in with her new family.

Meet Reagan! 🐾

This sweet girl is an 8 1/2 year old Retriever + Labrador Mix who has been with us since the end of June.

Reagan recently had a fantastic Doggy Day Out and we loved what they shared about her 😍

"I had a really fun time taking this sweet girl out today!! She had a great time sniffing and exploring the Whitemarsh trails. She's really good on the leash and doesn't pull or take off like some labs tend to do. She's always looking back making sure I'm keeping up, and I love her freckle face! We found out tricks she knows and tried to teach "shake" 😂 She's awesome."

We sure think so too and are so glad she got this day of fun! This senior pup is so ready to find a loving home of her own. Come meet her TODAY at our Adoption Center! 🙏🏻

Sweet Cinnamon reported for duty as the Tybee Island Police Department yesterday!

She had the BEST day, and this is what they said about her 😍 -

"If rolls, buns, and breakfast cereal have taught us anything, it’s that everything is better with Cinnamon! During her adventure, Cinnamon made herself at home as a member of our pack, met plenty of new friends, and ate ALL the snacks! While she enjoyed her day as an honorary cop, she’s hoping to find a forever home, where the fun never stops!!"

Cinnamon is a female, 4-year old mixed breed that has been with us since the end of July. She is MORE than ready to find her forever family and home. A sweet pup with so much love to give. Come meet her today!!! 🙏🏻

Thank you Tybee PD for caring for our girl for the day! We are so grateful for your partnership. 🫶🏻

Had to share this wonderful news from Pounce Cat Cafe! Squid WAS their longest resident! ⤵️

"BIG NEWS!!!!! Our little Squid finally got adopted!!!! 😻🎉

After over 6 months at the cafe, Squid found her forever person and we couldn’t be more excited for her! If you couldn’t tell, she wasn’t really in the mood for an adoption photo but we can promise you she was just as elated as we were to be headed HOME!"

We are so happy for you Squid! 🐾🩷

Don’t worry, be hoppy! 🐰

Looking for a fluffy friend to hop into your heart? From their floppy-ears to the softest cuddles, these sweet companions are ready to find a loving home.

Today through Saturday (9/6 + 9/7), we are waiving our adoption fees for our small animals - which means bunnies and guinea pigs, too!

That’s right, it’s a bunny bonanza with no strings — or carrots — attached 😉🥕

Hop-tastic!!

Somebunny is looking for you so spread the word and hop on over to our Adoption Center today!

Any bunny puns we missed? 😆🐰

More info on each animal in the captions. When adopted, they will be spayed or neutered and microchipped.

It’s time to shine a spotlight on a special cat who’s been with us since early August…meet Buddy! 🐾

He may look a bit like he’s judging you 😂 but we promise this 3-year-old is full of playfulness and love.

Buddy is also extra special because he’s FeLV+ (feline leukemia virus positive). This means he has a weakened immune system, but don’t let that fool you — FeLV+ cats still have tons of love to give and make amazing companions. Though their lifespan might be shorter, they have the same quality of life and are just as adoptable!

FeLV+ kitties just need a bit of extra care, like staying indoors, eating a balanced diet, and regular vet visits. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure Buddy fits seamlessly into your family! He can live with other FeLV+ cats or FeLV-negative cats who are vaccinated against FeLV.

Stop by and meet Buddy at our Adoption Center this week! He is MORE than ready to fill your home with all the purrs and snuggles you could ever need. Come make Buddy a part of your family today! 😻🐾

It NEVER gets old hearing positive updates about dogs who have had a tough start in life...

Just a few years ago, in 2021, Toja was adopted and then returned to us multiple times. He had anxiety, allergies, and heartworms 🥺

Well, we just received this message from his human and we are SO happy to report that he is doing so well!

"Hey! My name is Hunter Presutto and a few years ago around January of 2021 I adopted Toja out of your shelter in Savannah. I was in the Army at the time and we’ve been living back in NJ for about 2 years now. He is doing so amazing, has made the bestest of friends and connections with some of my family, and is the best boy. It is night and day the way he reacts with his anxiety and I don’t even have him on medication anymore. I just wanted to say thank you for bringing me the greatest blessing in my life. ❤️❤️❤️"

I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

It’s incredible to witness the transformations in animals that many people overlook when you show them patience and an abundance of love. Hunter, thank you for sharing and thank you for showing Toja the care he absolutely deserves!! 🫶🏻

🎉🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾🎉

Today we celebrate all the amazing pups who bring so much joy, love, and wagging tails into our lives. ❤️ To honor this special day, we want to share a heartwarming story about one of our very own, Maggie, who was recently adopted.

Maggie, a sweet 10-year-old Rottweiler, was first adopted from us in 2016. Unfortunately, she was returned to us this July and it was not under the best of circumstances. Well, we are thrilled to share that Maggie has found her perfect match once again!

Her new family is absolutely smitten with her, and we couldn’t be happier to see Maggie finally get the loving home she truly deserves. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do.

To all the dogs out there, whether adopted or still waiting for their forever homes, today is your day! You make our lives brighter, our hearts fuller, and our days so much better. 🥹

Well, this is fun - we had to give a huge thank you to Miranda Lambert’s non-profit organization, MuttNation, for their very generous donation to local rescues during Tropical Storm Debby! To show our appreciation, we’ve named these sweet kittens after some of Miranda’s biggest hits 🥰🎶🐾

Meet "Gunpowder & Lead," "Bluebird”, “Kerosene" and "Wranglers" (who was adopted!).

Each one is as lovable and unique as Miranda’s songs and they are ready to find their forever homes and bring a little bit of country charm into your life! 🫶🏻

Could Cinnamon look any happier?! 😍

We recently had friends from the Georgia Regional Hospital spend some time at our adoption center for a heartwarming visit with Cinnamon! While they were there, they made some awesome enrichment toys for Cinnamon and her doggy buddies and even made a special treat for a 2-month-old kitten named "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

It was a day full of love and learning and we are so happy the Georgia Regional Hospital residents were able to spend some time with us. We think Cinnamon is too! 😉🥹

🐾 Meet Reagan! 🐾

Reagan had a blast on a recent Doggy Day Out and we LOVED what they shared about her 🫶🏻⬇️

"Reagan and I had so much fun on our doggy day out!

Some things I learned about her: loves to be by your side! She follows you everywhere and wants to be by your side. She loves going outside on walks and being in the shade. She doesn't like peanut butter. In the car she was a bit excited but stayed in the back seat laying down. She is excellent on the leash and does not pull!! Even though she gets excited, she eventually calms down and takes to her people.

She is seriously the BEST girl! I definitely shed some tears dropping her back off."

By the looks of it, Reagan clearly enjoyed it as much as y'all!!! 😭 If you are interested meeting Reagan, stop by our Adoption Center this week. She is such a sweetheart and so deserving of finding her forever family!

We told you yesterday was a special day because we unveiled our new play yards, but it was EXTRA special because we ended the day with 30 adoptions. THIRTY animals found their forever home in ONE day!! 🙌🏻🥳

Yesterday was such a special day…we had our ribbon cutting cermony for our brand new play yards, Samson’s Square! 🙌🏻🐾

Samson’s Square is the result of a very generous donation made by Robert and Charlotte Mock - in fact, this new space was named in honor of the Mr. Mock’s late American Bulldog Samson. We are so grateful that Mr. Mock and his family could attend the ribbon cutting as well as our HSGS Board and WTOC who did their Rescue Me Friday segment right from Samson’s Square (linked in comments).

“We are incredibly thankful for Mr. & Mrs. Mock’s generosity and the impact that their donation will make for many years and thousands of dogs,” said HSGS Executive Director Sean Griffin. “Samson’s Square not only will provide a space for more structured play for the dogs in our care, but it will also allow potential adopters to see the animals in a relaxed and fun environment that’s enjoyable for both them and us. We hope to use the space to host events and gather community in the future as well.”

Samson’s Square is about 10,000 square feet of doggy turf play space for our dogs to play together and meet potential adopters. It has 10 separate play yards that can be connected and converted into one large play area.

We have used dog playgroups to help socialize and exercise dogs for quite a while! Samson’s Square will now give potential adopters a chance to see dogs interacting and having fun outside their kennels, which we hope will boost adoptions. We even have pools, toys, and play equipment for the dogs to enjoy! 💦🎾

We will host a public Grand Opening for the facility in September with adoption specials, food and activities, so stay tuned!! We are excited about a few future events that will include evening Adoption events, fairs, movie nights and fundraisers for HSGS.

Congratulations to the Tybee Island Police Department and their "K9 For A Day" program for winning the HABRI 2024 Innovation Award!

It's hard to put into words how much we appreciate this partnership and the dedication to helping adoptable pets find loving homes.

We are so proud!! And we are so grateful for the impact you make on our community - for the people AND our pets! 🥳🐾

August 14, 2024

(Las Vegas, NV)- The Tybee Island Police Department was honored for its “K9 For A Day” program at the renowned “SuperZoo” convention in Las Vegas.

In January 2020, the Tybee Island Police Department entered into a partnership with the Humane Society for Greater Savannah over a program called “K9 For A Day”. Since that time, sixty-seven shelter animals have joined Tybee police officers on patrol in order to exercise, socialize, and increase their chances for adoption. To date, participants have included fifty-six dogs, ten cats, and surprisingly, one rabbit. Along the way the venture has helped to strengthen the department’s bond with their community, and led to the adoption of Tybee’s popular Public Relations K9, “Rocky”.

Last night, Captain Emory Randolph was honored to be on hand at the pet industry’s “SuperZoo” convention in Las Vegas, to accept the “Pet-Inclusive Infrastructure” award on behalf of the agency. This award, bestowed by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), recognizes individuals, companies, and organizations doing innovative work to enhance the human-animal bond.

“HABRI is honored to recognize the Tybee Island Police Department’s K9 For a Day program as the Pet-Inclusive Infrastructure award recipient of this year’s Human Animal Bond Innovation Awards,” said Steve Feldman, President, HABRI. “The program celebrates a community partnership while serving as an example for other law enforcement agencies and animal welfare organizations in need of creative ideas to help shelter animals find homes.”

The Tybee Island Police Department would like to thank HABRI, and the Silver Comet Animal Welfare Alliance, for nominating the agency for this award. They would also like to thank the Innovation Award sponsors, to include PetSmart Charities, Purina, Zoetis, and the World Pet Association.

Last, and most importantly, special thanks go to the Humane Society for Greater Savannah, and the amazing residents and guests who make up The Coastal Empire community. None of this would have been possible without you.

We are so happy to share…that George the tripawd has found his forever home!! ❤️

Here’s the heartwarming message we received from his new family — it’s just SO sweet.

“Forever home ❤️🥹🥰🙏 We absolutely love our sweet storm foster, George (now Denali)! There are no words to express how special this adoption is to our family! Thank you Humane Society for Greater Savannah for introducing us to the goodest boy around to complete our family! We will forever be grateful for the sentiment that even through the storms of life, the most beautiful adventures can be possible! Thank you for saving George so he could be part of our family today! Stay tuned for so many photos of our terrific tripawd adventures!”

We love you George (aka Denali) and are SO happy for you!! Happy tails and happy faces!! 🫶🏻

Y'all. Check out Mark with volunteer and cat whisperer, Kelly. 😍

Mark and his sister, Mate, have had quite the journey already in their young lives, so this is BIG! Mark is the gentle boy and Mate is the sweet girl, both 1 year old.

Mark and Mate first came to HSGS from CCAS in June of 2023 when they were just tiny kittens. They went into foster care before being adopted, but unfortunately, in May, they returned to HSGS.

These two are inseparable and need a home together. They've had a lot to handle in their short lives and are still quite shy since they didn't get much socializing early on. But if you pet them, get ready for a purr-fest!

They haven't had much experience with other cats or kids in their previous home and can be a bit timid around new people. They would thrive in a calm home with someone patient who can take the time to understand their needs.

These shy but oh so sweet babies are making such great progress and we could not be happier! They are well on their way to being the purrfect adoption candidates. Our volunteers are just the BEST! ❤️🐾

If you can open your heart to this adorable duo and give them the loving forever home they've been dreaming of, please message us or stop by our Adoption Center to meet them this week!
