About Rescue Me Georgia

Rescue Me Georgia (RMG) was created in 2008 when we started rescuing dogs about 90 miles outside of Atlanta in Jasper County, Georgia. In 2011 we received our non profit status and the real work began. We pulled thousands from Jasper County, but over time realized so much help was needed in other places too. And so we expanded our efforts to include all of Metro Atlanta and beyond.

In the past 15 years , RMG has grown and saved the lives of more than 6000 animals across the state. We are an ALL-VOLUNTEER 501c(3) nonprofit rescue group that is foster based - we do not have a facility, but we DO HAVE a great foster team that opens their hearts and homes daily to help us save dogs.

RMG depends solely on voluntary donations and adoption fees to cover our vetting expenses. Donations and NEW FOSTER HOMES enable us to do what we do - and every dog we adopt OUT - allows us to save another. Over the years, we have collaborated with various rescue groups up and down the East Coast, but most recently have focused on placing our dogs locally whenever possible. Every decision we make is centered around the best interest of that dog, as our ultimate goal is to help all of our rescues live happy, healthy and vibrant lives.

We are grateful that you have found us and appreciate you spreading the word about what we do. Many employers do match donations made to non profits like ours. Please keep us in mind during any time of the year that you might be able to donate towards our mission. 

Thank you!

MEET THE RMG TEAM

  • Marybeth

    Marybeth founded the rescue in 2008 and since that time she has continued to be a part of daily operations and decision making concerning every dog we save. She’s the go-to for taking in the urgent cases and fosters that end up with no place to go. She specializes in assessing and taking on the harder cases or abused dogs.0 She was born and raised in Virginia - but after 24 years in Atlanta, she’s definitely a Georgian now. MB has a very patient husband who never knows who will be in the house when he comes home, and two kids who have grown up in the crazy world of rescue and still play a huge role in everything that happens. MB has a pretty steady mantra of “I’ll figure it out,” as every single day is different!

  • Adrienne

    Adrienne has the HUGE job of processing our applications and setting up adoptions, as well as managing the many emails and emergencies we handle daily. Adrienne is a NY native, but wouldn’t move from the sunshine and warm weather for anything. She has two beautiful daughters and three of her own RMG dogs and a few RMG kitties as well. She’s the first to jump in to handle whatever we have thrown our way daily and has a true heart of gold. She’s the first to volunteer for whatever is needed - and will do whatever is needed to save those in need.
