History The Humane Society of Camden County, Inc. (HSCC) is a private non-profit corporation that has been in existence since 1986 serving the needs of the homeless and abandoned animals in our area. The HSCC contracts with Camden County (which includes the cities of Kingsland, St. Marys and Woodbine). They pay a portion of our annual budget in return for services in housing their stray animals. We hold strays for 5 days in order for any lost animals to be reclaimed by their owners. After 5 days, the animals become the property of the HSCC and may be moved to our adoptable section. There is no limit on the time an animal may remain in the adoptable section, sometimes months until they are adopted. In March 2000 we moved to our new climate controlled shelter that is five times larger than our previous shelter. An intake building was opened in 2005 to accommodate an increasing volume of animals and improve operations. Since 1986 the Humane Society has conducted countless fund-raising events to raise funds. We hope to develop more, and better, programs and seminars to educate the public on the plight of homeless animals and informing them of the numerous wonderful, loving animals available at the shelter. A volunteer board operates the HSCC and a paid staff is employed at the shelter. Mission Statement The Humane Society is a private non-profit organization. The objective of the Humane Society is to provide effective means for prevention of cruelty to animals; to cooperate with municipal, state and county authorities in prosecuting according to law such persons as may be guilty of cruelty to animals; to afford relief to abandoned animals when sick, injured or otherwise in distress; to assist in finding and placing in new homes such abandoned animals; to encourage kindness to and consideration of animals through education of the public and any other ethical means. We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia as “The Humane Society of Camden County, Inc.” The Humane Society is for “those who cannot speak for themselves.” Animal Sources We receive animals in various ways. Some animals are surrendered by their owners when they can no longer care for them, when they become obedience problems, or when they may be moving and cannot take the animal. Others are brought to us by the Animal Control Officers in Camden County. These are animals that are found wandering the streets of our community and are either strays or abandoned by their owners. Still others are brought in from Kings Bay Naval Base and surrounding areas. Finally we sometimes find animals that have just been left in our front yard.

We are a licensed non-profit animal rescue out of Augusta, GA. We rescue, rehabilitate and home lost, injured and abandoned animals. Providing education to the public on proper animal care and supporting spay and neutering of dogs and cats throughout Georgia and South Carolina.

Monroe County Animal Services We serve the stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs of the entire county.

We are a municipal sheltering facility in Rome, Georgia. We handle animal sheltering and animal control functions in Floyd County Georgia. We are an open (but managed) intake facility and we do not euthanize animals for space. We only euthanize in the case of an animal being beyond veterinary care. We also network with local rescues to get our animals veterinary care so that they may be adopted after they are healed up from being sick or injured. As a result of this thinking, we maintain a 98% live outcome.

We are a volunteer only, foster home based rescue. The group started in 1993 to help get a better animal shelter built in Catoosa County, Ga. We then started helping people in Catoosa County get their animals spayed/neutered and help them with vet costs. After a tornado hit Ringgold, Ga, the group started foster homes to help all the lost and displaced pets. We then started vetting and rehoming animals from the shelter and the public. We are then started providing this services in Walker County, Ga as well.

We are a 501c3 non profit licensed Georgia rescue that strives to decrease the homeless pet population through community education, rescue, spay/neuter programs, and adoption.
