I highly recommend HSCG for neutering your dog or cat. I have a senior cat who has always been an…read moreindoor cat, and we just never bothered to have her spayed. Her "heats" never bothered us, but recently seemed to bother her. So being new to the area, I made an appointment with HSCG due to their low cost spay/neuter program. Dr Weaver was absolutely wonderful and her concern for our old girl was touching. Turns out Patchez has a heart murmur so it was our decision whether to proceed with the procedure or not. We did. Dr Weaver phoned afterwards to let us know how Patchez was doing, and that she had an ovarian cyst and a nasty looking uterus. In my opinion, Dr Weaver went above and beyond to ensure us that we did the right thing and our beloved cat was going to be fine. Highly recommended!

It would be nice if they had an area where they let the dogs be with each other for at least part of the day.

We heart The Farm at Oatland North!…read more Located at the beginning of the driveway to Cannon's Point Preserve (another great spot), on your right, is a dirt road leading to a wonderful sanctuary for animals! Open every Sunday, 2-4pm, or by appointment. I was so missing "The Farm" the Sunday after my trip to the Golden Isles this year. I visit animal sanctuaries frequently, and they are all wonderful, but this place was especially magical to me. Really positive energy and happy hopeful souls. These are such deserving, but also lucky animals who get to find their forever home at The Farm at Oatland North. Here you will find a bunch of horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, and cats. Dogs have lived here (and probably other species too), but currently those mentioned are the animal residents. You may feed the animals but please make sure you ask volunteers who may eat what. A senior woman was going around with sugar cubes ignorant of (or not bothering to care about) the fact that one of the horses has a heart condition, among other health concerns in other animals. The white donkey, Wonkey, who walks around to meet people, has lost nearly all his teeth, so we made sure to have cooked carrots mushy enough for him not to choke. The volunteers told us that the week before so we took note, but others were just trying to give him anything. If you truly want to show care toward these animals, please think through the foods you give them. The ASPCA offers a whole list of foods toxic to horses, cats, dogs, etc. take a look before you bring foods. Avocados, grapes, onions, and citrus are just a few foods that are completely toxic to most animals. We met volunteers, Sally, Diane, and Leanne, and they were so kind and engaging. Often volunteers at rescues and sanctuaries are kind, but usually preoccupied with all the work they are doing. Not these ladies! They sat and talked with us in the Adirondack chair circle for a good 20min on Christmas Eve, and we saw Sally and Diane again on New Year's Eve, just as friendly and sweet. Our first visit, Sally took us around and gave us backstories on most of the animals. She taught us a lot of horse facts too (my kid now wants a horse). Second visit, we met two of the pigs' "mom" who raised them in her apartment when they were piglets. All of the volunteers have hearts of gold, and I told them I have never felt such calm and loving animals as I did here (and we visit a LOT of rescues, sanctuaries, zoos, etc). We could not have been more impressed with the love and trust between humans and animals at this farm. The horses loved our 8lbs of apples. Diane had a core-er in the office, and gave us a feed bucket to put slices in, which really made feeding easy. Sally had explained we need to use our voice to call Tex over because he's blind. My son loved being patient and using voice to call him over. Tex would paw at the ground for another apple slice. The horses were so excited for the snacks because visiting time is always before dinner served at 4 when everyone leaves. Anything visitors bring are well-loved hors d'oeuvres! The cats are all so loving too. They all look super healthy, but we made sure to wash our hands before going home to our own kitties (we take our kitties to GA), because you can never tell if a cat has FIP, a coronavirus that can be latent in some carrier cats, and deadly in others (I lost a cat to FIP). So pat and enjoy these kitties for sure, just do a COVID-style soap and water scrub before touching your pets at home. This is our 4th year visiting Jekyll and we just found out about "The Farm" even after visiting Cannon's Point our first year! Oh well, wish we'd found them sooner but shoutout to StSiMoms.com for tipping me off to this great place! Love love love The Farm at Oatland North!

Please be careful and make sure that this is an actual rescue versus an illegal puppy mill. Puppy mills promote animal exploitation and terrible suffering for the mamas forced to procreate, live their life in cages, and being tossed away when unable to give more cute offsprings. Please only adopt from reputable rescue organizations. Woof woof (thank you).

I recently viewed a dog on their site"Duke" and sent several e-mails telling them who I was and that I had adopted a dog from them the prev. year. I did not hear back from the e-mails(this is why I sent so many) and when they did reply they had placed the dog with a Great Dane group. Why would you place a dog with anouther shelter when you have some one who was so interested to adopt? So sad, would not waste my time looking at their page. If they want to save animals they should adopt them out instead of shuffling them to other shelters.
