Gwinnett Humane Society
Our Mission
Since 1979, the Gwinnett Humane Society has been dedicated to completing families, one pet at a time. We strive to improve the lives of companion animals in our community through education, resource referral, and our heartfelt adoption services.
Who We Are
Founded to promote animal welfare and reduce pet overpopulation, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supported entirely by private donations and our incredible team of volunteers. We believe that by encouraging spaying, neutering, and responsible pet ownership, we can create a brighter, more compassionate future for pets and the people who love them.
Our Foster-Based Model
We are a unique organization because we do not operate a traditional shelter. Instead, our cats and dogs thrive in a network of dedicated foster homes, where they receive safe, nurturing, and individual attention while waiting for their forever families. This foster-based approach ensures that every animal gets the comfort and stability they deserve, helping them adjust more easily when they finally transition into your home.
The Joy of Adoption
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our process is designed to ensure the best possible match for both the animal and your lifestyle. Our Adoption Officers carefully consider the personality, behavior, and specific needs of each pet to ensure a lasting, loving bond. We provide you with the medical history, support, and guidance needed to welcome your new companion with confidence.
