Dedicated Protocols for Preparation, Placement, and Peace of Mind.
Our work at SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is structured around three core pillars—Rescue, Restore, and Rehome—designed to ensure a holistic and effective pathway for every animal. The Rescue phase involves safely transporting animals from high-kill shelters, abuse situations, or neglect cases, providing immediate emergency medical assessment and triage upon arrival. This phase is resource-intensive, focusing on stabilization and initial veterinary treatment. The Restore phase is where the heart of our mission comes alive; this involves intensive medical treatment, including specialized surgeries or long-term medication, coupled with dedicated behavioral rehabilitation, where our team of experts works to address trauma, fear, and behavioral issues through gentle, consistent, and positive reinforcement training. Finally, the Rehome phase is the culmination of all this effort, focusing on meticulous family matching, comprehensive adopter counseling, and follow-up support to ensure the pet transitions successfully and thrives in their forever home. This integrated, multi-phase program ensures that the animals we save are not just rescued from one predicament, but fully prepared for a lifetime of unconditional love.
A Journey of Heart, Resilience, and Rescuing Souls.
The story of SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is rooted in a single, profound moment of realization that sparked a movement, transforming a deep passion for animal welfare into a structured, impactful organization. Our founder, realizing the immense strain on local municipal shelters and the tragic number of healthy, adoptable animals being overlooked, decided to establish a system focused purely on quality-of-life care and meticulous rehoming. Starting as a small network of dedicated foster homes, the organization officially incorporated and secured its first modest facility near OVINGTON, GA, operating under the guiding principle that every life is valuable and deserves a second chance. The name, SAVED BY GRACE, reflects the belief that it is through compassionate action—a form of grace—that we can intervene in an animal’s life trajectory, pulling them from hardship and placing them into a life of stability and love. This initial, grassroots effort quickly gained momentum as the community recognized the transformative, successful placements being made, allowing us to expand our capacity to intake, treat, and prepare animals with increasingly complex needs, solidifying our reputation as a haven of healing and hope.
Our Mission
Our Commitment to the Future of Pet Welfare.
At SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED, we focus on uniting pets with their forever families. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, our dedicated team ensures that every animal receives the love and care they deserve. Experience the joy of pet adoption with us and become part of our mission to create a better world for animals in need. This is more than a statement; it is a daily commitment realized through the tireless efforts of our staff and volunteers who work to heal and match every single rescued soul. Our mission drives us to go beyond the basic requirements of rescue, pushing us to provide specialty medical care for injured animals and long-term behavioral support for the emotionally traumatized, ensuring that no animal is deemed unworthy of our time and resources simply because their needs are complex. We believe that the grace we extend to these vulnerable animals is reflected in the strength and love they bring to the families who adopt them, thereby creating a cycle of healing that benefits the entire community and reaffirms the intrinsic value of every living creature under our care.
Our Vision
A World of Grace and Forever Homes
Our long-term vision for SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is to fundamentally shift the landscape of animal welfare in Georgia, moving toward a future where every adoptable pet finds a loving home and the reliance on euthanasia as a means of population control is eradicated. We envision the construction of a state-of-the-art regional campus that will not only dramatically increase our capacity to house and rehabilitate more animals but will also feature a dedicated veterinary clinic providing low-cost spay/neuter and wellness services to low-income pet owners, tackling the issue of overpopulation at its root. Furthermore, we aim to develop a nationally recognized training and certification program for pet adoption counselors, establishing a standard of excellence for meticulous matching and post-adoption support that can be replicated by other organizations across the country. This vision is ambitious and comprehensive, focusing on prevention, intervention, and education, transforming our organization from a local adoption center into a regional powerhouse for compassionate, responsible animal welfare, guided by the principle that every life should be saved by grace.
Our Values
Compassion, Integrity, Dedication
The operations and culture of SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED are anchored by core values that inform every decision, interaction, and policy, ensuring we uphold the highest ethical standards in animal welfare. Compassion is the starting point, requiring us to treat every animal and every community member with empathy, understanding that many of the animals who arrive at our door have known only fear or neglect. Integrity is non-negotiable, dictating absolute transparency in our medical records, behavioral assessments, and financial reporting, ensuring that adopters receive honest, comprehensive information about their potential new family member, and donors can trust that their contributions are used effectively. Dedication is the tireless commitment demonstrated by our staff and volunteers, who often work beyond conventional hours to provide specialized care, medical transport, and behavioral conditioning, driven by the profound belief in the worth of the animals we serve. These values are not mere slogans; they are actionable mandates that create a trustworthy, high-quality, and deeply caring environment for both the animals we rescue and the families we partner with.
Our Impact
Contributing to Community Wellness
The contribution SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED makes to the wider community of OVINGTON and the surrounding region is multifaceted, offering relief to overburdened systems and enriching the lives of citizens. By removing animals from the public shelter system and investing heavily in their medical and behavioral needs, we effectively save taxpayer dollars and free up municipal resources for other critical services. More profoundly, our most significant contribution lies in the promotion of mental and emotional wellness within the human community; the scientifically proven benefits of pet ownership—including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and increased opportunities for social interaction—are channeled directly into the lives of our adopters. Every successful placement means a family unit is strengthened, a person finds a new purpose, and a child grows up learning empathy and responsibility. We believe that by facilitating these meaningful human-animal bonds, we are acting as a force multiplier for community mental health and stability, proving that the work of rescuing one animal at a time ultimately elevates the welfare of the entire community, aligning our efforts with the greater good of society.

Our Work
Holistic Wellness: Preparing Pets and People for a Lifetime of Love.
Our work extends into the community through intensive Adopter Education and Support, recognizing that the long-term success of an adoption hinges on the preparedness and confidence of the new family. This is not a passive handout of information, but a structured, mandatory curriculum delivered by our counseling staff, beginning with a detailed review of the chosen animal’s medical history and specific behavioral needs, ensuring full transparency. Education sessions cover critical topics such as crate training best practices, managing the crucial two-week decompression period after adoption, recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness in pets, and understanding the importance of ongoing preventative veterinary care. Furthermore, we equip adopters with resource materials and connection to local training partners who align with our force-free philosophy. Our commitment doesn’t end when the adoption contract is signed; we offer phone and email support for the first six months post-adoption, and personalized follow-up check-ins, creating a robust support structure designed to troubleshoot challenges before they escalate. This proactive investment in human knowledge is as vital as the animal’s rehabilitation, guaranteeing both parties are fully equipped for a successful life together.
Behavioral Enrichment & Rehabilitation
The cornerstone of our restorative work lies in our specialized Behavioral Enrichment and Rehabilitation programs, designed for animals who have suffered trauma, neglect, or lack of socialization and require more than standard care before being adoptable. Our Behavioral Director, Marcus Chen, crafts bespoke programs utilizing counter-conditioning and desensitization techniques to safely address issues ranging from generalized anxiety and noise phobia to specific fear-based aggression, all conducted in a controlled, loving environment. Enrichment involves providing choice, allowing animals to engage with their environment on their own terms, which builds self-confidence; this may include rotational access to different toys, specialized kongs, and calm, predictable staff interactions tailored to their individual threshold for human contact. For animals needing intensive work, we utilize a dedicated network of specialized foster homes that can provide the quiet, consistent one-on-one attention necessary for deep emotional healing. This comprehensive rehabilitation process, which is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, is a non-negotiable part of our mission, ensuring that even the most broken spirits are given every opportunity to heal, re-learn appropriate social behaviors, and become stable, loving members of a forever family.
Play & Exploration
Play and exploration are recognized as essential therapeutic components of our rehabilitation process, integral to restoring an animal’s natural joy and curiosity while building crucial social skills. For our dogs, this involves structured outdoor playgroups tailored to energy level and temperament, where supervised interaction allows them to practice appropriate canine social cues, helping to reduce reactivity and build confidence. We utilize a variety of surfaces and enrichment tools in our secured yards, including scent-based games, digging pits, and elevated platforms, encouraging natural exploratory behaviors that address mental fatigue and boredom often associated with shelter life. For our feline residents, play is focused on satisfying the predatory sequence through interactive toys that mimic prey movement, and exploration is facilitated through multi-level “catios” and access to stimulating visual environments, reducing stress and promoting healthy activity. This daily commitment to physical and mental exercise not only aids in weight management and general health but also drastically improves their adoptability, as a well-stimulated, socially practiced animal is much better equipped to become a calm and engaged family member. We view structured play as essential therapy, guiding pets back to a state of emotional readiness for their forever home.
Building a Network of Support, Awareness, and Responsible Pet Ownership.
We view every family that adopts from SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED not as a client, but as a permanent extension of our compassionate community, and we support them through robust family involvement programs. Our post-adoption support begins immediately, offering a dedicated helpline staffed by our behavioral and medical team to address any settling-in challenges during the crucial first few weeks, ensuring a smooth transition for the animal and peace of mind for the family. We regularly host exclusive adopter workshops focused on advanced training topics, such as agility basics or therapy dog preparation, fostering a continued learning environment and providing a network for families to connect with one another. Furthermore, we actively encourage families to share their “Happily Ever After” updates, which we use as inspiring content and proof of our mission’s success. This deep, ongoing engagement is designed to cultivate lifelong responsible pet ownership, solidifying the idea that adopting from us means gaining a partner dedicated to the well-being of your pet for their entire life, creating a foundation of trust that is invaluable in animal welfare.
Comprehensive Care for Every Life Stage and Every Personality.
SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is proud to serve animals across all life stages, recognizing that each phase—from the boisterous puppy to the gentle senior—presents unique needs and offers distinct companionship benefits. Our Puppy and Kitten program focuses intensely on early socialization, critical developmental milestones, and age-appropriate medical care, ensuring they receive the foundation necessary to grow into well-adjusted adults; this includes supervised exposure to different people, sights, and sounds in a safe environment. The Adult program handles the largest volume of rescues, where our focus shifts to behavioral assessment and targeted training to address any pre-existing habits or anxieties, making them ready for immediate integration into family life. Our specialized Senior Sanctuary program is dedicated to the care and placement of mature animals, who often require specialized geriatric veterinary care, joint support, and a patient, quiet environment; we advocate tirelessly for these gentle souls, highlighting their calm demeanor and proven companionship qualities. By tailoring our care, nutrition, and adoption matching to these three distinct life stages, we ensure that every animal we serve receives the most appropriate path to health, happiness, and ultimate placement.
Testimonials
Adopters Share Their Stories of Grace and Unconditional Love.
“Adopting Barnaby, our 11-year-old Beagle, from SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED was one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives, and the support we received was truly exceptional. We were initially hesitant about adopting a senior dog due to potential medical issues, but the team’s transparency and the comprehensive medical file provided by Dr. Vance immediately put us at ease; they had already addressed his dental needs and joint issues. Sarah, our Adoption Coordinator, spent over two hours with us discussing his low-energy lifestyle and perfect fit for our quiet home, never pushing us but simply ensuring it was a perfect match. Barnaby is the most gentle, affectionate dog we could have imagined, spending his days curled up at our feet, and his quiet gratitude is palpable every single morning. We are so thankful for their Senior Sanctuary program, which highlights the wonderful qualities of older dogs. They truly save lives and create miracles.”
The Hernandez Family, Adopters of “Barnaby” (Senior Beagle)
“We cannot speak highly enough of the behavioral rehabilitation work performed by Marcus and the team before we adopted Jax. He came to them with a history of fear-based anxiety and resource guarding, but thanks to their rigorous, positive reinforcement training and detailed counseling, he transitioned seamlessly into our busy family home. Marcus insisted on a two-week transition plan and walked us through counter-conditioning techniques to manage his minor triggers, which gave us the confidence and tools we needed to succeed. Jax is now a gentle giant who adores playing with the neighborhood children, and he is a constant, joyful companion. SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED didn’t just give us a dog; they gave us a stable, well-adjusted family member, and the pre-adoption training sessions were invaluable in preparing us for success. Their dedication to the difficult cases is truly what makes them special.”
Laura K., Adopter of “Jax” (Adult Pitbull Mix)
“Adopting our puppy, Minnie, through SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED was an organized and deeply ethical process that ensured we were ready for the commitment of a new puppy. Unlike other organizations, they insisted on a detailed home visit and a long counseling session that focused not just on her cuteness, but on her breed-specific energy levels and our training obligations, which was incredibly responsible. Their dedication to early socialization was evident, as Minnie was already comfortable with different sounds and had been introduced to basic crate training, which made the first few weeks much easier. The ongoing medical support and follow-up emails checking on her progress showed their genuine, lifelong commitment to her well-being, proving they are partners in our pet ownership journey. We felt supported, educated, and truly happy to be part of a mission that prioritizes the health and future of their animals above all else.”
The Chung Family, Adopters of “Minnie” (Puppy)
“When I adopted Cleo, a stunning calico, I was looking for a calm companion for my apartment, and the team made the perfect match. They were very careful about ensuring she was not a good fit for a home with other pets, and their honesty about her shy but deeply affectionate personality was appreciated. Cleo was initially very reserved, but the instructions provided by the staff on creating a ‘safe zone’ and using interactive, non-threatening play allowed her to quickly decompress. Her medical care was flawless—fully vetted, spayed, and chipped before I even met her. The ongoing support and the warm, genuine follow-up calls from Sarah, the Adoption Coordinator, made me feel like I was truly part of their community. Cleo is now the queen of my home, greeting me at the door every day, and I am so grateful to SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED for connecting me with my gentle, purring shadow.”

Why Volunteer
Becoming a Partner in Grace
Volunteering at SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is an opportunity to move beyond simple charity and become an indispensable partner in the direct, daily salvation and rehabilitation of animals in crisis. Your commitment offers far more than just labor; it provides essential human interaction, socialization, and consistent care that is critical to an animal’s emotional healing and preparation for adoption. For a dog that has never known kindness, a gentle walk from a dedicated volunteer can rebuild their trust in humanity; for a fearful cat, quiet, patient sitting time in their enclosure can teach them that not all human touch is threatening. The impact of your presence directly influences their future, as well-socialized and confident animals are placed more quickly and experience higher success rates in their forever homes, reducing their time in the shelter and freeing up resources for the next animal in need. This is a chance to apply your passion in a hands-on, meaningful way, joining a team of like-minded individuals who share a deep, professional commitment to compassionate care and seeing the tangible results of your efforts every single day.
Ways to Help
Matching Skills with Needs
We offer a diverse range of volunteer opportunities designed to match your individual skills, availability, and comfort level with the specific needs of our organization and our animals. Direct Animal Care roles are vital, involving walking dogs, providing supervised play and socialization, assisting with kennel cleaning and enrichment activities, and feeding our residents. For those with a flexible schedule, our Foster Care Program is arguably the most impactful role, providing a temporary, loving home environment for animals needing to recover from surgery, young puppies needing round-the-clock care, or pets needing a break from the shelter setting to work on behavioral issues. Those with organizational or administrative skills can assist with Administrative Support tasks, including filing, data entry, photography, and processing adoption applications, which are essential for maintaining our high standards of integrity and efficiency. Finally, our Outreach and Events Team needs enthusiastic volunteers to help coordinate fundraising events, manage booths at adoption days, and assist with community education seminars. No matter your background, there is a crucial role for you here, and we provide all necessary training to ensure you are confident and prepared to make a significant difference.
Impact of Volunteering
Direct Influence on Well-being
The direct, measurable impact of volunteering with SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is evident in the health, behavior, and successful placement of every animal in our care. Volunteers provide the high ratio of human interaction necessary for positive behavioral conditioning that staff alone cannot provide, translating directly into lower stress levels and happier, more resilient pets. Consistent socialization helps animals adapt quickly to new situations, ensuring they are well-prepared for the sights and sounds of a typical family home, making the adoption transition far less jarring. Every hour you spend cleaning an enclosure, replenishing fresh water, or simply sitting quietly with a timid pet allows our professional medical and behavioral staff to focus their limited time and resources on complex cases and critical medical needs. Essentially, your volunteer work multiplies our capacity for grace and healing, accelerating the rehabilitation process and ensuring that animals with complex needs do not languish but instead quickly become ready for their forever families, fulfilling our collective mission with every successful placement.
FAQ’s
Your Questions Answered: Transparency in the Adoption Process.
Q: What is the typical adoption process and how long does it take to adopt a pet?
The adoption process at SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is comprehensive and designed to be thorough, ensuring a perfect, lifelong match, which generally takes between one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the pet’s needs and the promptness of the applicant. It begins with a detailed online application, followed by a mandatory phone screening and reference check to verify your commitment and suitability for the specific pet you are interested in. If these initial steps are successful, we schedule an in-person meeting with the pet and the Adoption Counselor, followed by a required educational consultation to discuss long-term care, training, and integration. We do not operate on a first-come, first-served basis; instead, we select the best-matched family for the animal’s needs. This meticulous matching takes time, but our focus on quality placement over speed ensures the highest possible success rate for our animals.
Q: What is included in the adoption fee and does it cover medical care?
The adoption fee for every animal adopted from SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED is a vital investment in our life-saving mission, and it comprehensively covers extensive medical and behavioral care, though it rarely covers the full cost of rescue. Every pet leaves our care fully spayed or neutered, up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped with lifetime registration, and dewormed and treated for common parasites. The fee also covers our extensive behavioral assessment, rehabilitation, and the comprehensive educational materials and counseling sessions provided to new families, which are essential for long-term success. For animals requiring complex procedures like orthopedic surgery or long-term medication, the fee is adjusted to remain affordable, as the majority of their actual medical costs are covered through generous donations and fundraising efforts, ensuring that their health needs do not prevent their adoption.
Q: Do you require home visits or vet references as part of the application?
Yes, both a physical home check and verification of current or prior vet references are mandatory components of our thorough adoption curriculum at SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED, as they provide critical insight into the environment the pet will be entering. A vet reference ensures that prospective adopters have a history of responsible pet ownership, including adherence to preventative care like regular vaccinations and wellness exams, demonstrating a proactive commitment to animal health. The home check, conducted either virtually or in-person, is not about judging the tidiness of your home, but about ensuring the environment is safe, secure, and appropriate for the specific needs of the animal—for example, confirming a secure fence for an energetic dog or the absence of toxic plants for a curious kitten. These checks are essential components of our due diligence, ensuring we fulfill our commitment to the pet’s safety and well-being before placement.
Q: What is your policy regarding returning a pet if the adoption does not work out?
SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED offers a non-negotiable, lifetime return policy for every animal adopted from our care, ensuring that no pet we place ever faces the uncertainty of a municipal shelter again, regardless of the circumstances. We understand that life changes—job loss, health issues, or unforeseen events—can make continued ownership impossible, and our commitment to the animal is for life. If you must return a pet, we require that you contact our Adoption Coordinator immediately to coordinate the return and ensure we have space to safely welcome the animal back into our program, where they will receive continued care and re-entry into the adoption pool. We kindly ask that you never rehome the animal yourself or surrender them to another facility; our lifetime policy is a foundational commitment that ensures the pet’s continuous safety, and we are dedicated to troubleshooting issues before return becomes necessary through our extensive support services.
Q: How do you address behavioral or medical issues before a pet is adopted?
Our organization employs a dedicated, multi-disciplinary approach to addressing all behavioral and medical issues before an animal is made available for adoption, ensuring transparency and comprehensive preparation. Upon intake, every pet receives a thorough medical exam and all necessary treatments, from dental work to complex surgeries, under the supervision of Dr. Vance, who signs off on their physical health clearance. Simultaneously, our Behavioral Director, Marcus Chen, conducts a detailed temperament assessment and implements a personalized rehabilitation plan using only force-free, positive reinforcement techniques to address any fears, anxieties, or behavioral challenges. We believe in being fully honest about an animal’s history and needs, so all known medical and behavioral information is disclosed to the prospective adopter, along with detailed advice and training requirements, guaranteeing that you adopt a pet whose status and needs you fully understand and are prepared to manage.
Q: Can I foster a pet before committing to adoption?
Yes, the option to “Foster-to-Adopt” is available at SAVED BY GRACE PET ADOPTION SERVICE S INCORPORATED for many of our adult and senior animals, and we highly encourage it, as it provides a crucial opportunity to ensure a successful match in a low-pressure, real-world setting. This program allows the pet to decompress and show their true personality outside of the shelter environment, while giving the potential adopter a realistic trial period to assess compatibility with their family, lifestyle, and existing pets. To participate, you must first be an approved applicant, and you will receive all necessary supplies, food, and medical support from us during the fostering period. This program is invaluable for both the animal and the family, as it minimizes stress and maximizes the chance of a successful, permanent placement.
