About Albany Humane Society - Sally Wetherbee Adoption Center

In 2015, Albany Humane Society expanded with the Sally Wetherbee Adoption Center. This state of the art adoption center allows us to save more lives by increasing the number of animals we can offer for adoption - pets that will no longer face euthanasia. It is our first endeavor towards becoming a no-kill shelter and has increased our save rate by 20% since the doors opened in 2016. Come visit us at 2223 Dawson Road in Albany,GA.

Comfort and Freedom
SWAC is an adoption center, only accepting animals from our primary shelter, Albany Humane Society, on Oakridge Drive. Our canine companions enjoy climate controlled kennels and Kuranda beds while our cats enjoy open rooms with plenty of space to hide or lounge with a view of the outdoors. Our outdoor spaces provide the dogs housed here with plenty of enrichment and a place for adopters to get acquainted with their new friends.

Foster or Adopt
At SWAC we house up to 16 dogs and 18 cats on any given day. We provide a space where fosters and adopters can meet our pets and spend time with them. If you are interested in fostering a pet or adopting, please contact us at 229.299.4504 or come by to see who we have in house.

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.
