We are 501(c)3 animal rescue in Burke County, Ga. We strive daily to help the abused and abandoned or discarded animals we see so many of.

We have taken in hundreds of animals over the past few years. Many were in horrible shape and many were broken physically, mentally, or both. Over the last Eight years we have managed with very little funding to vet, feed, house and care for so many who have now found wonderful forever homes. Our dream is that one day we will become a no kill nation where no animal is sentenced to death because of irresponsible breeding and ignorance or simply because they were born unwanted. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.


We also lobby for mandatory spay/neuter, dog licensing fees, anti chaining laws and stiffer penalties and stronger enforcement for animal cruelty and neglect.

We are a no kill rescue/shelter located in the small town of Girard, Ga. We believe that all animals have the same right to life as we do unless they are dangerous to the general public or they are too sick to be saved.



We occassionally assist out of state rescues who want to pull an animal on death row in Georgia's many funded kill shelters. These pets are pulled from the shelter and vetted, evaluated and quarantined here at Girard Lifesaver Rescue for a minimum of two weeks and in many cases longer until transport is arranged for them to go North to the rescue who stepped up to save their lives and who will then find them their very own forever home and family.


We serve Burke, Jenkins & Screven Counties and the entire CSRA of Georgia & South Carolina, but we welcome inquires from other areas of

Georgia as well
