Overview

Mission

We help abandoned, neglected, abused, and unwanted pets in the savannah, ga area by partnering with shelters, rescue groups, and the community to facilitate adoption of these animals into permanent and loving homes.

What it reported doing in 2025

We rescued 504 dogs and cats (325 via adoption and 179 through transportation), including those animals still under the control of olar and its volunteer foster families. Since starting our transportation efforts in 2016 we have saved over 1,300 animals. As a rescue, we identify and bring dogs and cats under our umbrella of foster care. We provide medical services through licensed veterinarians. We provide the foster parents with food and services to maintain the pets while permanent loving homes are found. We screen all foster homes as well as permanent homes prior to placement of any pet. Once placed, the permanent families are provided training for their adopted pets and a guarantee that we will always take the pet back if the adoption does not work out. Additionally we transport pets from the savannah area to other areas around the country that do not have the available adoptable pet population that we have in savannah.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
