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!

As well as report you to PayPal from scamming for donations. You all are thief's !!! They posted several dogs for adoption for $150 originally, then changed the post to $500 adoption fees. They tell you, you have to pay a $10 application fee, again okay. Until you submit your application and the fee really becomes a "donation" to their business through PayPal so they don't have to report is on taxes. Okay no problem move on past that "fishy".... The post clearly says "you must be willing to travel to Savannah, GA to pick up your pet". Then after several days of waiting they post they are only adopting to GA residents. Okay enough. When I commented pics of their website policy and their post on their Facebook stating that was false information, they blocked me. This company is clearly using innocent animals as a scam to get people to donate money to their "businesses " (if that what's you even want to call it at this point). Their online policy quotes "We adopt in our home state of Georgia, certain areas of FL, and all along the east coast. Approved adopters in GA, FL, SC, and NC would need to drive to one our mobile events and pick up their new pet. All other areas in our adoption zone would require a paid transport and this fee would be in addition to our adoption fee." So basically they STOLE SEVERAL DONATIONS, then continually changed the post, so most of the applicants never even qualified to begin with, but it was unbeknown to them when applying. I have screen shots of every change they made to prove it.

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!

DO NOT ADOPT FROM LOVEABLE PAWS RESCUE! This "rescue" used a 3rd party (Wagtopia) to monetize my…read moreadoption application information and my financial information was exploited as a result. When I explained my concerns to the "rescue" and they were dismissive of my concerns. Loveable Paws Rescue will absolutely use a 3rd party (Wagtopia) to monetize your data as well. They REQUIRE a "donation" to Wagtopia before you can even submit an adoption application. Each potential dog adoption requires a separate application and "donation" (application fee is not reimbursed if you choose not to adopt or if the dog you wanted to adopt has already been adopted). NOTE: Loveable Paws Rescue and Wagtopia have said that donations to Wagtopia are not tax deductible and the money DOES NOT GO TO CARING FOR SHELTER DOGS!!!! To make things even worse, the dogs at their "rescue" did not appear to be cared for very well - the dogs appeared underweight for their size and their living conditions did not seem adequate. Several dogs were without water on an adoption day! It made me seriously question how far the substandard the living conditions drop on non-adoption days. After reading some reviews of Loveable Paws Rescue where adopters ended up with dogs that tested positive for heartworms, I asked if the dog we were interested in adopting had already been spayed and if she has been tested for heartworms. The "rescue" refused to provide any medical information about the dog. In fact, they refused to tell me if the dog had even seen a vet while she was under their care. The dog in question was in their care for at least 3 months! That is ample time to know very basic medical information that all legitimate rescues should have about all animals under their care. To illustrate the lack of appropriate veterinary care, I included a post from Loveable Paws Rescue's Facebook page. THIS DOG DIED WHILE UNDER THE CARE OF LOVEABLE PAWS RESCUE! I think it is fairly obvious that this dog should have been under close veterinary care. While it is possible that the tumor might have been inoperable, not having the dog at an emergency clinic, directly under veterinary care following the rupture is inexcusable and shows their indifference towards the quality of life of the dogs under their care. When I inquired about the medical care given to special needs dogs like this dog, I was told that it was none of my business since it didn't apply to the dog we wanted to adopt and I needed to lower my expectations because "these are rescue dogs." There are many good rescues in the area, you do not need to support a "rescue" that will monetize your adoption application data, charge you for merely submitting an application, and then refuse to provide you with basic health information about dogs under their care. Any "rescue" that requires money to submit an application doesn't care about finding homes for dogs, they care about making money. Reputable rescue groups don't monetize data about adopters. Reputable rescues are eager to share information about their dogs; only questionable, shady "rescues" charge $600 adoption fees while refusing to provide veterinary information and ignore the fact some dogs are without water on adoption days. Please adopt from reputable rescues!
