Gwinnett County Animal Control and Welfare
Our Mission
Gwinnett County Animal Welfare & Enforcement is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of our community's residents and animals, ensuring they can thrive together in a vibrant, safe environment.
Our Commitment to Care
Operating out of the Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center, we serve as an open-admissions shelter for Gwinnett County. Our team works tirelessly to provide comfort, stability, and medical attention to every animal that enters our doors as they await their next chapter.
A Dedicated Network of Support
Our care model is built on compassion and collaboration. We rely on a robust network of dedicated volunteers and partnerships with local rescue groups to provide extra care, rehabilitation, and socialization for our animals. From providing medical evaluations and spay/neuter services to specialized foster programs like Paws of Service, we ensure our pets receive the individualized attention they need to grow and heal.
Your Partner in Adoption
Every animal in our care has a unique story and is eager to become a part of your family. We focus on mindful, transparent adoption processes to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. Whether you are bringing home a senior pet or a playful youngster, our team is here to support you in creating a joyful, lifelong partnership.
