About Dawson County Humane Society Animal Shelter
We are a group of dedicated volunteers that worked for 6 years to raise enough money to build an animal shelter in a County in Georgia that did not have one. We are a 501c3 Non-profit organization. We operate primarily on donations and gifts.
We believe EVERY animal deserves a home. We do everything possible to make certain they have a second chance at a happy life with a family that will love and care for them.
The greatest reward for us is a happy ending, a smiling cat or dog that has found love and companionship and brought a ray of sunshine into a home.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
