Fixing the Boro is dedicated to providing a humane and sustainable solution to the overpopulation of pets in Bulloch County and surrounding areas. We believe in creating a better future for our local animals, one pet at a time.
Founded in the spring of 2017 by Sarah Roehm, Beth Stembridge, and Chris Sterling, our organization began as a group offering vouchers for veterinary services in Statesboro. We soon realized that rescue alone was not enough, leading us to expand our focus to include a clinic dedicated to low-cost spay and neuter procedures, tackling the issue of pet overpopulation directly at its source.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that relies entirely on private donations and grants to provide essential services to our community. Our rescue program operates through a network of dedicated foster homes, which provide a loving and temporary retreat for animals pulled from community owners and local municipal shelters. This allows us to provide high-quality care, including vaccinations and spay/neuter surgeries, to every animal before they find their forever home.
Adopting is one of the most impactful ways to reduce pet overpopulation while gaining a new family member. We pride ourselves on transparent, compassionate care and thorough medical preparation, ensuring that our rescues are healthy and ready to thrive. When you adopt from us, you aren't just gaining a pet; you are becoming part of a community dedicated to responsible and loving pet ownership.
