THE GEORGIA HUMANE SOCIETY NEEDS YOUR
HELP WITH FIGHTING CRUELTY IN GEORGIA



Each year in Georgia hundreds of animal cruelty/abuse cases go ignored simply because many counties in Georgia do not have the resources to to see that these cases are prosecuted. The Georgia Humane Society has been instrumental in assisting areas that need help with cruelty cases and seeing to it that those that abuse, mistreat and neglect animals are brought to justice and punished for their crimes. Too many dogs, cats and horses are abused and neglected in GA and although there are laws that prohibit these cruel acts, many areas need help. You can help us help those without a voice by supporting Georgia Humane Society with our mission to put and end to the abuse.



Above: Georgia Humane Society rescuers assists with dog-fighting raid in a rural GA county that has no animal control agency to deal with this issue.


Dogs living in inhumane conditions in Georgia puppy mills is one of the complaints that the Georgia Humane Society receives on a regular basis. Most of these type operations are mainly located in rural counties where animal control facilities are extremely limited, or there is no animal control agency available at all to address this issue.



Left: "Noodle" (and babies)
and "CiCI" were living in cramped, unsanitary conditions and being over bred at a puppy mill in North Georgia where over 300 dogs were seized, rescued, received medical attention and were adopted into loving homes thanks to the assistance of the Georgia Humane Society.









The number of equine cruelty and neglect cases have increased in recent years and the Georgia Humane Society has been able to assist with these cases as well. With a reliable network of equine rescuers, our organization has helped place neglected horses into foster care where they are cared for and received needed medical attention until they can be placed in permanent loving homes.







Right: "Pedro's" story ended sadly, unfortunately, and his abuser almost walked away unpunished because the animal control agency in this rural GA county was not familiar with how to prosecute abusers. Georgia Humane Society was able to assist in this case and Pedro's abuser is now in jail serving time for this horrific crime.


Often times, the cruelty and neglect cases that
the Georgia Humane Society is notified about to assist with have been reported to local enforcement; however, in most Georgia counties, there are no animal cruelty officers trained to deal with these situations so the suffering continues until the Georgia Humane Society takes on an active role in resolving the problem. Roughly 75% of the cruelty and neglect complaints that our organization receives are from concerned citizens whose requests for looking into these situations go ignored. In many cases, the Georgia Humane Society will be the only agency in GA that will step in and see to it that these cases are properly investigated and abusers are prosecuted.

Above: "Snowball" and "Reba" were with a group of 28 dogs that a breeder in GA penned up and left to starve in a remote area on the property and was the breeder's method of "doing away with breed stock that no longer served a purpose". This abuse case had been reported more than 3 times to authorities that ignored the situation until the Georgia Humane Society became involved. These two dogs were eventually treated medically, spayed and neutered and adopted into loving homes.


Georgia's pets deserve better and the Georgia Humane Society
has found loving homes for thousands of abandoned, neglected
and abused pets and has been the driving force behind seeking
justice for many pets that have fallen victim to abuse and neglect crimes.
