Heart of Georgia Humane Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Humane Society that rescues death row animals. Our goal is to eliminate euthanasia by spaying or neutering dogs and cats.

Unfortunately, these animals only have seven days to live. A group of our volunteers go into the shelters on a weekly basis and pull the animals that we can take into our program. When the animals are taken into our program it first goes to the vet where it is given shots, whatever medical care needed, and spayed/neutered. When this process is complete and the vet determines the animal is healthy, it is placed in foster care. In the foster care home, the animal is socialized with other animals and many times, children. From this we can then determine the best possible home situation that will work. When the foster home determines that the animals are ready to be adopted they are taken to PetsMart in Macon, off Presidential Parkway, every Saturday until the right homes are found.

At any time the adoption does not work, we ask that the animal be returned to the Heart of Georgia. We never want this pet to end up back in the same situation it came from. The animal stays in foster care until a forever home is found regardless of how long that may take. In view of the above explanation you can plainly see our needs are great. We operate strictly on donations. We do not receive any state or federal money. We not only need financial help, but we need foster homes, vet services, food, beds and many other items including volunteers.
