The Habersham County Department of Animal Care & Control is dedicated to promoting public safety and animal welfare through compassionate care, community education, and responsible pet placement. We strive to foster safe, positive interactions between humans and animals while enforcing state laws and county ordinances.
Rooted in values like compassion, integrity, and community partnership, our agency serves as a vital resource for the people and pets of Habersham County. Every day, our professional team works tirelessly to support the health and welfare of the animals in our care and to serve the community that relies on us.
We manage our local animal shelter with a focus on care and efficiency, looking after an average of 250 animals each month. Our staff provides a safe environment for dogs and cats as they await their forever homes, ensuring that each animal receives essential vaccinations and is spayed or neutered before adoption. We are committed to transparency and providing the best possible care during each pet's stay with us.
Finding the perfect companion is a joyful experience, and we love helping our beautiful dogs and cats connect with loving families. We encourage prospective adopters to spend time with our animals, whether that means cuddling with kittens or taking a pup for a walk, so you can find the perfect match for your lifestyle. When you adopt, you are welcoming a healthy, vetted friend into your home.
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to visit our shelter in Clarkesville to view our available animals or contact our team at 706-839-0195 with any questions. You can also explore our adoption process online or stay informed about our latest updates by connecting with us through our official channels.
