Humane Society of Northeast Georgia

A non-profit animal wellfare organization, the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia's (HSNEGA) 19,000-square-foot facility houses animals awaiting adoption in a safe, climate controlled environment, as well as our administrative offices, Adoption Center, Spay/Neuter Center, Wellness Clinic, Humane Education department, and pet store.

HSNEGA's mission and services are focused on supporting animal advocacy issues such as pet overpopulation, pet wellness and rehoming of rescued companion animals. We offer high-quality, low-cost surgery in our Spay/Neuter Center, and to ensure healthy animals, low-cost wellness services including basic vaccines and testing. HSNEGA also offers a wide range of education and community outreach programs for all age groups.

HSNEGA operates as a selective admission shelter, meaning we do not euthanize based on space or duration of stay. Instead, HSNEGA intakes owner surrendered animals and rescued animals from more than a dozen other humane organizations, rescue groups, and shelters throughout northeast Georgia. On average, we rescue 1,500+ animals each year.

Approximately half of our income comes from donations, including private donations (individual and corporate donors) and fundraising events. HSNEGA is independent and receives no monies from county, state or federal governments, or other humane organizations .
