DOUGLAS COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY

Description

We would like to reduce the number of stray dogs and cats in Douglas County, Georgia in order to alleviate the number of adoptions necessary through the Douglas County Animal Shelter plus the reduction in euthanasia. The Douglas County Animal Shelter is within a percentage of being considered a "No Kill Shelter". There will always be behavior related or wellness issues, but we hope to one day see ZERO euthanasia due to lack of space. An educated community in Douglas County where all pets are sterilized and people adopt instead of shopping would be ideal.

Spay/Neuter: We support Douglas County Animal Shelter for sterilization before adoption and trap, neuter, return of cats. We assist the Douglas County community with funding at West GA Spay Neuter Clinic.
Heartworm Treatment of DCAS dogs: We support the Heartworm Treatment of Douglas County Animal Shelter dogs to help reduce barriers to adoptions and assist adopters in treating the HW positive dogs that they adopt.
Pet Pantry: Our goal is to provide temporary pet food assistance to families struggling in this economy to keep their pets. Our pets are vital family members and no one should have to face surrendering their pet due to lack of food. The Pet Pantry helps keep many, many animals away from being sent to rescues or abandoned. We distribute food to the community on the 1st and 3rd Saturday’s of every month from 9-11 AM at the Douglas County Animal Shelter. ​Volunteers will be on-site to help with food requests. ​
