Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter Adoption, Strays and Rescue of Pets in Hart & Franklin Counties in Northeast Georgia We accept animals from Hart and Franklin Counties.
(334)

The Northest Georgia Animal Shelter is an open admission, non-profit Shelter, supported financially by private donations and funds from eight city and county jurisdictions. We often take in sick and injured animals, feral cats and wild dogs. In these cases, it is our obligation to humanely end the suffering of these animals. We strive to get all of our animals adopted, and often work with rescue groups and other local shelters to achieve this. Our maximum capacity is 160 animals. Currently our adoption rate is 30% and we are working hard every day to increase it. We also have a 50% RESCUE rate! Thanks to all the rescues that pull from us. We are very rescue friendly.

Important Announcement: Pet Food Pantry Outreach

Effective immediately, our pet food pantry outreach program is suspended.

Unfortunately, the volume of food needed to care for the shelter animals who depend on donated supplies has made it difficult for us to continue providing food assistance to the public on a regular basis. Our first responsibility must be ensuring we have enough food to care for the animals currently in our shelter.

We understand that unexpected circumstances happen. If you are experiencing a temporary crisis and need assistance feeding your pets, please reach out. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending on available resources.

We also ask that you please be respectful and understanding toward our staff. They are doing their best to help while managing an already demanding workload and caring for the animals who depend on us.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to care for the homeless animals in our community.
