Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter

Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter Adoption, Strays and Rescue of Pets in Hart & Franklin Counties in Northeast Georgia We accept animals from Hart and Franklin Counties.
(335)

The Northest Georgia Animal Shelter is an open admission, non-profit Shelter, supported financially by private donations and funds from eight city and county jurisdictions. We often take in sick and injured animals, feral cats and wild dogs. In these cases, it is our obligation to humanely end the suffering of these animals. We strive to get all of our animals adopted, and often work with rescue g

roups and other local shelters to achieve this. Our maximum capacity is 160 animals. Currently our adoption rate is 30% and we are working hard every day to increase it. We also have a 50% RESCUE rate! Thanks to all the rescues that pull from us. We are very rescue friendly.

πŸ’”πŸΎ HAVE YOU SEEN MY FAMILY? πŸΎπŸ’”

Hi... I don't really know where I am, and I'm scared. πŸ˜”

I was found wandering alone in **Lavonia on Beaver Dam Circle**, looking for the people I love. I've checked every passing car, listened for familiar voices, and waited for someone to call my name... but so far, no one has come.

Maybe my family is looking for me. Maybe they don't know where I am. Maybe they miss me just as much as I miss them. ❀️

I know someone out there recognizes my face.

🏠 If you are my family, or if you know where I belong, please help me get home.

πŸ“ž Contact the shelter at **706-356-5363**

Please share this post. Every share is another chance for me to be seen by the people I'm waiting for. I just want to go home. πŸΎπŸ’”

Help needed!
We are officially out of ProVetLogic cleaner β€” one of the main products we rely on to keep germs and disease under control in the shelter. With puppy and kitten season in full swing, we used the last of our supply just to refill spray bottles today.

We’re also completely out of fresh-smelling cleaners like Fabuloso.

If you’re able to help, we would be so grateful. These supplies are critical to keeping our animals healthy and our shelter clean.

🦴🚨 YABBA DABBA DOO! STRAY ALERT! 🚨🦴

It looks like Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble left Bedrock behind and decided to go on an adventure of their own! πŸ¦•πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

These two handsome gentlemen were found roaming around the Tractor Supply parking lot in Hartwell and are now safe at the shelter while we search for their family.

🧑 Fred Flintstone – Alaskan Malamute
πŸ’™ Barney Rubble – Akita

Both of these good boys are already altered and appear to be well-loved. Unfortunately, they forgot to leave us a forwarding address! πŸ˜…

Have you seen these prehistoric pals before? Do they belong to you or someone you know?

πŸ“ž If you are the owner or have any information, please contact the shelter at 706-356-5363.

πŸ“’ Please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE to help Fred and Barney find their way back home before they start looking for dinosaurs and stone-age snacks around town!

🐷 Miss. Piggy: Probably wondering where her dressing room and snacks went.
🐻 Fozzie Bear: Still trying out his stand-up routine… *Wocka Wocka!* πŸ€ͺ

We are forever thankful for the support and kindness Donna Madkiff has shown to animals of our shelter but also all animals in Hart & Franklin Counties.

Dear Rescue Family and Supporters of the Hart County Humane Society,

For the past 21 years, I have been dedicated to providing affordable spay/neuter assistance and helping rescue animals in need. It has been an honor to serve alongside the volunteers, supporters, and advocates who share a commitment to improving the lives of animals in our community.

I am especially proud to be part of an organization whose mission aligns so closely with saving the lives of dogs and cats at Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter . Together, the Hart County Humane Society has helped rescue 7,827 dogs and cats and provided spay/neuter assistance to thousands of families, making a lasting impact throughout our region.

It is with a heavy heart that I share my decision to step away from my active role due to ongoing health concerns. This work has been more than a commitmentβ€” It has been a meaningful part of my daily life and a passion that has brought me great purpose and fulfillment.

I sincerely ask that you continue supporting the mission of the Hart County Humane Society and the animals cared for at Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter. Your compassion, generosity, and dedication are essential to ensuring that this important work continues for years to come.

I am deeply grateful for the friendships, support, and understanding I have received along this journey. The relationships I have built through this mission are a gift that I will always cherish.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving our community and its animals.

With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude,

Donna Madkiff
Founder and President
Hart County Humane Society
