We have a great relationship with the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter's staff and together we strive to create new programs to bring people and pets together. Over the last two years our volunteers and the county shelter staff have worked together to make great improvements which have drastically raised the adoption rate and lowered the euthanasia rate in Douglas County.

By working together, the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter now has one of the highest adoption rates in the Atlanta area!

Volunteering is very rewarding! It's very hard work getting the pets ready for their photographs, but they repay the volunteers with a lot of kisses and affection!

We have fosterhomes for nursing moms and litters and we welcome new fosterhomes. Baby bunnies in foster care.

A Second Chance Many of our adopters send us photos and e-mails of their pets enjoying their new start in life. While it's always hard for the fostermoms to say good-bye to a sweet pet they've cared for in our foster program, It's also a happy feeling to know that the pets are loved by their new families! Providing Information To The Community We talk to many Animal lovers in Douglas County and help them find solutions to their unique issues. We provide County Animal Shelter Information and maps showing how to get to the shelter. We also provide useful information about rabies control, controlling and caring for feral cats, chaining pets, photos and descriptions of pets currently for adoption at the shelter, and much more useful information. Unwanted or unexpected litters are a common pet owner issue and we talk to people about low-cost spay/neuter clinics and find the right one for them. We recommend CatSnip, SANTA and the West Mobile Vet Clinic.
