Who We Are

Henry County Humane Society is an all volunteer, no-kill animal shelter. We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization and are licensed by the Georgia State Department of Agriculture.

Adopting a Friend

Click here to see the cats and dogs we have for adoption.

Our animals have been given age appropriate vaccinations, are spayed/neutered, dewormed and had capstar and/or frontline applied. Dogs are heartworm negative and microchipped. Cats are feline leukemia (Felv) and feline AIDS (FIV) negative. Pediatric spaying and neutering is performed on puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks old.

Potential adopters must complete an application including vet references. Fenced yards are required for large dogs and some smaller active breeds. ADOPTIONS ARE LIMITED TO THE METRO ATLANTA AREA.

If you see an animal that you are interested in, please download and complete a Preliminary Application Form. This application does not commit you to an adoption. It is used to screen those interested to make sure the home is a good match for the animal. If your application is approved, one of our volunteers will contact you via phone or email.

Offsite Adoptions

We hold adoptions the 4th Saturday of each month at the Petsmart on Jonesboro Road in McDonough. Hours are 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. We are unable to bring all of our animals to Petsmart, but please drop by to see which ones are there. Our shelter will also be open, so the animals that are not at Petsmart can been seen at the shelter (unless otherwise noted on their bios).

Henry County Animal Control
Henry County Animal Control's website provides a summary of animal control ordinances in the county and provides information about adopting animals available at the shelter.

We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.
