From Save A Life Pet Rescue

Since our formation in 2006, we have successfully rehabilitated, spayed/neutered, and placed over 20,000 animals with warm, loving families! Our mission is to save and enrich the lives of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and conditions that have suffered from neglect, cruelty, abandonment, or overpopulation in high-kill animal shelters in the south.
