Give the Gift of Health and Life.

Critical medical care for our animals is the largest part of the HSGS budget, totaling more than $230,000 each year. It’s where funding for our shelter is always greatly needed. As Savannah’s only Humane Society, many animals arrive at our facility from an uncertain background, with little or no veterinary care, sometimes after roaming and scavenging for months. Our goal is to end the euthanasia of healthy animals and animals with treatable conditions!

The Tyler Medical Care Fund

Named after Tyler who was taken too soon by cancer, this sweet boy never met a stranger ❤️. He had a constant smile on his face and could brighten anyone’s day. We hope that with his legacy, all animals will be able to receive the medical care they need. This in-house fund provides ongoing medical care for 2,200 shelter animals each year. Treatment ranges from antibiotics and vaccinations to testing, spay and neuter surgery, and more. The health and well-being of animals in our shelter is an important part of our mission. The Tyler Medical Care Fund allows us to begin treating animals the moment they arrive at our shelter.

Your gift today will give a shelter pet a second chance, so that they may never live another day without medical care, shelter and most importantly love!
