Join Us for the 2023 Last Stop Loved Cupid Ride!

We’re just a couple of weeks away from the Last Stop Loved Cupid Ride and we need your support! The Last Stop Loved Cupid Ride on Saturday, February 11 at 12:00pm, is a police-escorted, 5-mile bicycle ride through Savannah’s Historic District to raise money and awareness for Georgia Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Relocation (GRRR). GRRR is a 501(c)(3) rescue organization that serves Savannah and the surrounding counties. Their program, Last Stop Loved finds homes and provides medical care for medically challenged senior dogs who have been abandoned or lost their owners due to death or medical reasons. The name Last Stop Loved represents a final place where these pups can find incredible love and caring as they spend their last days on earth. Money raised for Last Stop Loved will directly benefit GRRR’s efforts to care for these canine babies. Cupid-themed attire and bicycle decorations are encouraged! The event will feature a food truck, live music, and raffles to win prizes, including a free bike from Savannah On Wheels! If you don’t have a bike, we have them available for rent for the duration of the ride! We had a great turnout in our inaugural year in 2022 and we’re hoping to surpass that this year. We hope you can join us, but if you can’t attend, you can still donate to help these animals in need! Click here to register, donate, or for more information. And be sure to follow @savannahcupidride on Instagram!

‘Tis the season for “best of” contests! Our rescue pup, Jack, has been nominated for South Magazine’s Greatest Pets 2023 and we need your votes, please! We might be a little biased, but we think he’s the cutest, smartest, sweetest little guy! We adopted him from the Atlanta Humane Society in 2018 and he’s been the inspiration behind the charitable work we do to benefit animals in need. How can you say “no” to this handsome fella?!

Savannah On Wheels Team Takes in a Ghost Pirates Hockey Game!

Have you heard how much we LOVE our employees? Well, let us tell you about them. They’re pretty darn amazing. And what better way to show our appreciation than an outing to see Savannah’s coolest sports team on ice, the Ghost Pirates! In an action-packed matchup, the Ghost Pirates bested the Greenville Swamp Rabbits 3-2, with less than a second to spare. Go crazy, folks! And what’s the best way to get to and from Enmarket Arena you might ask? By bicycle of course! Use the bike lanes and skip the traffic nightmares!

Local Rescue Spotlight

This month we wanted to highlight the awesome work of two local rescues, Coastal Pet Rescue, and Georgia Rescue, Rehabilitation, & Relocation (GRRR). A couple of weeks ago, GRRR was contacted by Chatham County Animal Services about sweet 15 year old Hank (left) who had been surrendered by his owners, who requested he be euthanized. GRRR sprang into action to save Hank and he has since been caught up on his shots and has found a loving home, thanks to Coastal Pet Rescue. He’s a happy pup again with lots of tail wagging and rolling around to show his contentment. Kudos to these awesome groups for the amazing work they do in our community. Lucky (right) is a dapper distinguished dude still in need of a forever home! Might he be The One for you? More information about Lucky is available on Coastal Pet Rescue’s website. Look at that sweet face!
