The mission of the Lumpkin County Animal Shelter is to balance the health, safety, and welfare needs of both the people and the animals in our community. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care for those in need while helping every adoptable animal find a loving second chance at a forever home.
Our shelter serves as a vital resource for Lumpkin County, where we provide a safe haven for unwanted, stray, abused, and abandoned animals. Beyond providing physical shelter, we are committed to educating the public about responsible companion animal ownership and assisting in the investigation of cruelty cases to ensure every pet is treated with the kindness they deserve.
We operate a facility focused on the humane treatment of our residents, ensuring they are healthy and prepared for adoption. Our team is proactive in health initiatives, offering packets for local low-cost spay and neuter services, and we invite community members to get involved through our volunteer and foster programs. We believe that by working together, we create a better environment for every animal under our care.
Adoption is a wonderful way to change a life, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your family. When you adopt from us, you receive a pet that has been well-cared for, including essential vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter services, ensuring a healthy start to your journey together. We encourage you to reach out and speak with our staff about our available animals.
We would love for you to meet our current residents! We are open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment. Please give us a call at (706) 867-7297 to schedule your visit or to learn more about our adoption process.
