Rides 4 Paws Partners with SAVVY Capital Management for Advisory Services and Expansion Capital

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Nov. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- SAVVY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, a privately held acquisition, advisory, finance, and management firm headquartered in Boca Raton, announces a strategic partnership with Rides 4 Paws Transport & Rescue, Inc., a Midwest-based rescue and transport organization specializing in behavioral rehabilitation and complex cases.

Through this partnership, SAVVY Capital Management will provide strategic planning, business development, capital strategy, and growth advisory as Rides 4 Paws prepares for expansion. This includes developing a plan to secure up to $1.5 million in financing through SBA lending, grants, crowdfunding initiatives, and private capital, and exploring acquisition growth and land purchase for a future facility.

Founded by Jill Hanson, Rides 4 Paws is recognized for working with behaviorally complex, fear-aggressive, and high-needs dogs—animals few rescues can take on. To date, the organization has saved over 80 dogs through transport, rehabilitation, and collaborations with multi-state partners.

"Partnering with SAVVY gives Rides 4 Paws the opportunity to grow in a way that creates the space and stability my rescue dogs genuinely need," said founder Jill Hanson. "I work with behaviorally complex, fear-aggressive dogs that few others are equipped to take on, and this support allows me to continue giving them the time and structure required to succeed."

Hanson's long-term vision centers on transitioning from a home-based setup into a purpose-built rescue, rehabilitation, and boarding facility. "My home is at capacity with long-term rehab dogs who need a calm environment to make progress," she said. "Having a dedicated facility—whether acquired or newly built—will give me the room and stability to continue this work without compromising the needs of my family or the dogs."

The planned facility will also serve as a Midwest landing hub for at-risk dogs who require temporary housing, quarantine, medical stabilization, or time to coordinate adopters and transport. Many are on short-notice euthanasia lists; a dedicated hub will give them the time they need.

"Rides 4 Paws is performing lifesaving work under challenging circumstances," said Geoffrey Lopes da Silva, Finance and Advisory Division Coordinator at SAVVY Capital Management. "We are honored to support their strategic development, assist in securing the capital required for expansion, and help position the organization for sustainable long-term growth."

Rides 4 Paws' growth is fueled by rising demand, a reputation for safe handling of high-needs dogs, and an expanding rescue network. As a USDA-certified transporter, the organization continues to build partnerships nationwide.

SAVVY Capital Management supports mission-driven and emerging enterprises through advisory services designed to strengthen operations and long-term financial vision.
