Changing lives, one rescue at a time.
There’s nothing like the feeling, when we leave animal control with a carload of rescues. It’s a peace and quiet and knowing that everything has just changed. They let go of the hurts and abandonment and put all their trust in us. We treasure these moments knowing how many lives these rescues will change forever.
Our Beginning
RMG was started in 2011 by a couple of seasoned rescuers who wanted to make a difference in a rural county 90 miles southeast of Atlanta. With over 5000 dogs and cats saved, we’ve now started working in other areas of Georgia. RMG is foster based, meaning we have no building of our own, but depend on foster families to help make these miracles possible. Fosters are the true HEROES in rescue! We make every effort to share the stories, pictures and info about the ones we save, so their forever families will know just how many people loved them along the way.
RMG foster mom Laurette, takes on our hardest cases of neglect in little dogs as well as seniors. But when she’s out and about, all the dogs stop by for some love.
“RMG is made up of dedicated volunteers who make this world a better place by showing an unending amount of compassion for animals that need it the most.”
— Julie B.
Our Mission
Kent County is one of the most severely underserved communities in Tennessee. To combat this adversity, Project Sprout seeks to nourish our neighbors at the most fundamental level with healthy food options and a strong support network. All members get a portion of each harvest and surpluses are donated to low-income families whose work schedules prevent them from volunteering.

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
