TLC Humane Society is dedicated to providing compassionate care for dogs and cats by facilitating adoptions and promoting responsible pet ownership in our community. We believe in creating positive outcomes through support and education.
Founded in 1977, we have spent over 40 years saving animals throughout North Georgia. As a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we operate as Dahlonega’s only no-kill shelter, relying entirely on the generosity of our supporters and the community to continue our life-saving work.
Our facility sits on 5.87 acres of beautiful property designed to help animals thrive while they wait for their forever homes. Residents enjoy three dog parks, walking trails, dedicated cat rooms, and specialized housing like The Ruff House and the Carver Canine Castle for our larger dogs.
We are committed to finding the perfect match between our animals and their new families. Because we believe in the lifelong commitment of pet ownership, we guide every potential adopter through a thoughtful process—including character references and meet-and-greets—to ensure every adoption is a successful, joyful partnership for years to come.
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to view our adoptable animals online or visit us at our Red Oak Flats Road location to meet our wonderful dogs and cats in person. Whether you are ready to adopt, volunteer, or support us through a donation, you are the reason we can continue to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.
