Renegade Paws Rescue
Renegade Paws Rescue is about to celebrate its second birthday. Founded on June 3, 2019, this young and ambitious organization is trying to redefine expectations for animal rescue.
Co-founded by Jennifer Taylor, Kristin Staples, Becca Watts, and Shelby Westberry, Renegade Paws Rescue is a non-profit organization that rescues and cares for abused, neglected, injured, and abandoned dogs.
Taylor, the organization’s director has been working with pet rescues in Savannah since she relocated here nine years ago.
After finding a stray dog, working with a local rescue and going through the fostering process, Taylor was hooked. She’s been volunteering and working with animal rescues ever since.
Students from Benedictine Military School in the Volunteer Center package donated items. America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia honored a very special volunteer for all of her hard work in the community
Shirley Harris has been a long-time asset to Second Harvest in the Savannah warehouse where she was honored on April 26, 2021 of Volunteer week.
In celebration of National Volunteer Week, Dunkin of Georgia and their Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, the charitable organization powered by Dunkin’ and its franchisees, guests, vendor partners, and employees, recently donated a $1,000 grant to America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, Inc. along with a well-deserved Dunkin’ donation of coffee and donuts.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Teachers and staff from several Savannah private schools joined together Friday to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The school community was included in the expansion that started this past Monday.
Several schools who started in-person learning in August got their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. They say it is a day they’ve been waiting for.
“It makes me so very proud that we are able to do this for our teachers and it make me so proud of our community for saying that teachers matter and that this is so important,” St. Vincent’s Academy President Mary Ann Hogan said.
