Etowah Valley Humane Society
Where Best Friends Meet
The Etowah Valley Humane Society exists to prevent cruelty to animals, relieve their suffering, and provide humane treatment for those in need. We are dedicated to creating a compassionate community where every animal receives the care and respect they deserve.
Our History and Purpose
Since our founding in 1996 as an adoption outlet for Bartow County Animal Control, we have grown into a vital resource for our community. Operating from our Cartersville facility since 2006, we function as a private, non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that relies entirely on donations, membership fees, and fundraising rather than state or federal funding.
How We Care
As a dedicated adoption and rescue shelter, we provide a safe harbor for animals pulled from the intake facility at Bartow County Animal Control. Our team of staff and passionate volunteers works tirelessly to ensure that our pets receive the medical care and socialization they need while they wait for their forever families. We are proud to maintain a near no-kill environment, ensuring each animal is treated with dignity and compassion.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adopting a pet is a significant, joyful commitment, and we are here to support you at every step of your journey. By requiring an approved application and scheduled appointments, we ensure a personalized, one-on-one experience that helps you find the perfect match for your family's lifestyle. We believe that thoughtful matching creates lasting, loving partnerships between people and their new best friends.
