About Fixing the Boro
Fixing the Boro is a Georgia-licensed animal rescue and nonprofit organization based in Statesboro, GA. The nonprofit was founded in the spring of 2017 by Sarah Roehm, Beth Stembridge and Chris Sterling. It initially started as a group offering vouchers to local veterinarians, and in 2018, they added animal rescue to their services.
Fixing the Boro places importance mostly on low-cost spay/neuter assistance and the widespread community of pet ownership. They also have a rescue program for dogs, cats and small animals that are pulled from owners in the community and from local and municipal shelters. Fixing the Boro is open Sunday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Their wellness hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., excluding the first Wednesday of the month.
