🎆🐾 Protect Your Pets Before the Pops! 🐾🎆

Fireworks season is one of the busiest times of the year for lost pets. Every year, shelters, rescues, and recovery organizations see a surge in missing dogs and cats after fireworks displays. Even pets who have never shown fear before can panic, bolt through doors, jump fences, or slip out of collars.

TRAPS
Trapping, Rescuing, Advocating, and Providing Support will be joining us this Saturday from 3-5 pm for our Protect Your Pets Before the Pops Safety Pop-Up and learn how to keep your pets safe before the July 4th celebrations begin.

We'll be sharing information on:
✅ Fireworks safety and escape prevention
✅ Proper identification and microchips
✅ GPS tracking collars and why preparation matters
✅ What to do if your pet goes missing
✅ Lost pet prevention resources and recovery tips

⚠️ Please note: We will be scanning microchips, but we will NOT be implanting microchips at this event.

The best time to prepare for a lost pet is before your pet goes missing. A few simple steps now can make all the difference if the unexpected happens.

Whether your pet is fearful of fireworks or you've never had a problem before, we encourage you to stop by, ask questions, and pick up valuable safety information.

Let's work together to keep Savannah's pets safe, secure, and at home where they belong this holiday season.

A huge thank you to Reese and Eli Acors, Nora and Quinn Schwedler, and Farrah and Jon Pfeiffer for supporting the animals at HSGS for the second year in a row! 🐾🧡

These amazing kids spent time selling cookies, bracelets, earrings, lemonade, and dog treats, raising an incredible $200 for the animals in our care.

Today, they stopped by the shelter so we could thank them in person and introduce them to a few of the animals they're helping, including Evi, Baja, and plenty of adorable kittens.

We are so inspired by their kindness, creativity, and dedication to making a difference for the pets in our Adoption Center. Thank you all for thinking of our animals and for showing that you're never too young to make a big impact! 👏

Our Summer Camp 2026 is filling up fast!! 🎨🐾

We're excited to kick off Paws & Paint Summer Camp, where creativity meets compassion in the most colorful way possible!

Imagine a place where every brushstroke, sketch, and masterpiece helps a shelter pet find their forever home.

Throughout the week, campers will meet our adoptable animals, learn their stories, and use their artistic talents to create portraits, crafts, and promotional artwork that showcase each pet's unique personality.

By the end of the week, our young artists will have transformed creativity into community action, helping our furry friends get "fetched up" and ready for adoption!

We'll wrap up the week with a special Paws & Paint Art Gala where families, friends, and community members can celebrate the incredible artwork created by our campers and the impact they're making for shelter pets.

Only ten spots are available for this inaugural event, so don't wait!

Today, a very special 6th grader (and her mom) helped make our Adoption Center a whole lot sweeter! 🍦🐾

Mia, a sixth-grader at St. Andrew's, was recognized as a winner in the Leopold's Ice Cream Creative Writing Contest for a poem she wrote about her rescue dog, Finn. Rather than keeping the spotlight on herself, Mia chose to share her accomplishment with the animals at HSGS.

Thanks to Mia's compassion and Lindsay's efforts, J&J Snack Foods Corp. (the makers of Dogsters Ice Cream) donated 48 doggie ice cream coupons for our dogs and cats to enjoy during a special Paws in Paradise ice cream party.

The pups had an absolute blast spending time outside, enjoying treats, and cooling off with their dog-friendly ice cream. We're so grateful that Mia thought of our animals and turned her achievement into something that brought joy to so many shelter pets.

A special thank you as well to WTOC-TV Morning Break for coming out to cover the event and help share Mia's story of kindness and compassion with our community. Link to the segment in the comments!

Thank you, Mia and Lindsay, for your kindness and for being such wonderful advocates for animals in our community - we are so incredibly thankful for your generosity! 🥰

🌺 Aloha! Join us tomorrow for a tropical afternoon at HSGS! 🌺

Whether you're looking to adopt, foster, or simply stop by and meet some adorable animals, we'd love to see you at our Hawaiian-themed pop-up event on Thursday, June 11 from 1–3 PM.

🏝️ Enjoy special adoption promotions and meet dogs and cats searching for their forever homes.

📸 Snap some fun summertime photos with our tropical-themed photo opportunities.

🍧 Cool off with a freezer pop (while supplies last).

🐾 Not quite ready to adopt? Ask us about taking one of our adoptable dogs or cats on a "Weekend Vacay" and give them a little taste of paradise outside the shelter.

Grab your favorite Hawaiian shirt and stop by for an afternoon of fun, treats, and furry friends. Our animals are ready - we can't wait to see you there!

🌞 Mahalo! 🌞
