Coastal Pet Rescue
Lisa Scarbrough
 

The Inspiration:
Lisa Scarbrough had been rescuing injured and homeless pets for much of her life under the guidance of her father.  She realized that there were more needy pets than homes and wanted to find a way to change their situations for the better.

The Action:
Scarbrough founded the organization February 5, 2003, her 24th birthday. Coastal Pet Rescue volunteers provide veterinary care and foster homes for homeless animals rescued from county shelters, turned over by good samaritans, or left behind by previous owners. 

In addition to rescues, her organization also conducts humane education programs including school and business lectures, hurricane evacuation planning, and pet first aid and CPR. In 2005, the organization initiated a feral cat trap-neuter-return program, through which over 300 cats have been trapped, preventing over 126,000,000 more stray cats from roaming the streets of Savannah.
