Georgia Rescue & Rehab

GA Rescue and Rehab (GRR) is a rescue group established in 2008. GRR is a 501C3 registered non-profit organization, and has been licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

GRR is a network of foster homes in the East Atlanta/Athens area. Most of the fosters are pulled from shelters in Rockdale, Newton, and Morgan counties. We also pull dogs from high-kill rural shelters in Georgia. GRR is an all-breed rescue. We do not discriminate, however certain breeds require home visits both prior to and after adoption (Pits, Rottweilers, Dobermans, etc).

Occasionally, owner surrendered pets will be accepted into the system, however the pet must already be fully vetted (with current paperwork made available). Owners who are willing to hold on to their pets until a new home is found may list their pet on our Courtesy Listing webpage.

GRR's adoption fee is dependent on expenses incurred while the animal is in our care--mostly vet work. Please understand that the volunteers working with GRR are all unpaid. Please be patient when waiting for an email response--our volunteers all work full-time jobs and many also have multiple fosters along with their own personal pets
