Our Story
Red Clay Animal Rescue is a small but powerful force in the collective effort to end pet homelessness and suffering in the Savannah area. We are a licensed nonprofit organization with 501c3 status.
We provide care on a small scale (a few animals at a time) to homeless animals with treatable injuries or illnesses, as well as the elderly, usually from within the regional shelter system, who would otherwise be euthanized. A secondary goal is rescuing local homeless animals on their “last day” (often healthy, young animals) from animal control facilities, when other placement can’t be found.
These pets are fostered until adoption, or placed with other local rescue organizations.
An additional focus is facilitation of shelter-to-shelter transfers (from high kill/poor live release rate facilities with no medical care, to facilities with very high successful adoption rates, often in other states). These transfers very frequently require that the pets receive some medical intervention (infectious disease testing, vaccinations, deworming, health certificates, sterilization) before transfer.
We also use our funds to donate to other rescue groups in dire need, and to shelter/animal control facilities with little or no resources when they need help.
We rely on donations to fund our mission, and appreciate and thank our community of generous contributors for their support.
