Help SCGSR Win the Saving Pets Challenge 2017!

Senior and special needs dogs are typically very costly to rescue and rehabilitate, which means they are often overlooked by other organizations. You’ve no doubt seen the work we’ve done in the past with Maggie, Tyson, Vita, Ziggy, and many others with serious medical issues… It’s those broken dogs we’re able to rescue, rehabilitate and place with a loving family which will become our ultimate legacy! You know us and how hard we work every day with an all-volunteer staff. Each year, we rescue, rehabilitate, provide spay/neuter and vet care to many needy animals. You’ve seen the great work we’ve done and have always supported our efforts. And because of that, we’ve saved and rehomed over 900 animals since our inception! THANK YOU! With your help today, we can continue saving these special animals and finding them their FUR-ever homes.
