Surrendering your Pet
If you need to find a home for your
pet or an animal you have found Save-A-Life, Inc. can help you. Space is
very limited in our foster care program. We are not always able to take in
all the abandoned and homeless pets in Savannah. We have designed a
program called the Pet Placement Assistance Program to help people find homes
for pets they have found or can no longer keep. Below is a list of
guidelines for people who would like to participate in this program.
Placement pets can be brought to Save-A-Life mobile Adoption Days at
PetsMart.
NO GIVE AWAYS!!! We are at PetsMart every Saturday from 11:00AM to 3:00PM. If you would like to bring an animal, below is a list of requirements you and your pet must meet.
Requirements
-
Dogs must appear to be in good health and have a good disposition.
-
Every dog over 4 months of age must have Rabies Vaccination

Every dog over 6 months of age must have a Heartworm Test and the test results must be negative.

You must stay with your pet while it is at PetsMart.
-
You must take it home with you if it is not adopted.
NO GIVE AWAYS! If someone wants to adopt the pet you have, they must meet certain requirements and pay an adoption fee. We want to ensure that each animal finds a permanent and loving home. People who do not want to pay to adopt, are not good homes. The adoption of your pet includes a spay/neuter certificate given to the adopter by Save-A-Life. This will cost you nothing. Save-A-Life pays for this service. We want to ensure any animal placed through our group finds a good home and is spayed or neutered.
