Athens Area Humane Society

The Athens Area Humane Society is a donor supported no-kill 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to lowering area euthanasia rates through adoption, spay/neuter, and pet retention programs. We’ve been helping animals in our community for over 25 years.

We save lives and unite families throughout Georgia every day.

We rescue and care for more than 5,000 animals each year; many of whom are at risk of being euthanized. We also provide low-cost vaccinations to more than 1,500 animals each year at our clinics. We’re passionate about educating the public concerning animal welfare and pet owner responsibility, and we do so through school visits, community events, and social outreach.

AAHS is a private, nonprofit organization that does not receive funding from, and is not affiliated with, any national humane organizations, such as the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States.
