Gwinnett Humane Society is a non-profit, charitable organization founded in 1979. We strive to promote animal welfare, to prevent cruelty to animals, and to reduce pet overpopulation by:

​

• Educating the public regarding the humane treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership

• Encouraging the spaying and neutering of companion animals

• Encouraging adoption of companion animals

• Gwinnett Humane Society does not operate a shelter and receives no government funding; we rely solely on donations from individuals and companies to support our programs and on volunteers who donate their time and energy to carry out our mission. Gwinnett Humane Society is a registered member of the American Humane Association.

​

We are proud of our accomplishments. Here are a few ways we were able to help make a difference last year:
.

• In 2018, Our Placement committee continued their work to adopt homeless animals into new loving homes. We were able to help hundreds for dogs, cats and even a few birds and a guinea pig find new, loving homes last year.

• Our Pat-A-Pet program provided pet facilitated therapy to residents of assisted living and domestic violence facilities, improving quality of life and promoting the joys of living with companion animals.

• Our Humane Education Program taught the community about the responsibility of caring for a pet and also about the problem of animal overpopulation.

• Our H.E.R.O. and Sunshine Fund programs benefited our community and animals with serious health issues by allowing donated dollars to directly impact targeted areas
