Since 1913, the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) has worked to create better futures for at-need companion animals. A private, non-profit 501(c)3 selective admission shelter, HSNEGA’s mission is to establish a community recognized for responsible pet ownership and humane treatment of animals by offering basic pet wellness and spay/neuter services, public education, and placement of companion animals. HSNEGA is creating a model facility based on a proactive vision to end animal neglect and suffering in our region through: • Accessible education and outreach programs offered throughout the community, at all age levels, addressing a wide range of animal welfare issues; • Providing access to affordable surgery and basic wellness services to encourage and assist pet owners in properly caring for their pets; • Rescuing neglected and abandoned companion animals and giving them a second chance; • Advocating for animal welfare issues that support responsible pet ownership and renounce abuse and neglect; and • Providing leadership in creating a community known for treating our people and pets with respect and compassion. We will achieve this vision through building a strong infrastructure based on people and sound financial stewardship based on building relationships with diverse groups of stakeholders who share our passion for ensuring that no healthy animal or willing pet owner lacks access to resources. HSNEGA receives no financial support from local, state or federal governments and relies on donations from individuals and corporate supporters, grants and special events to help fund our efforts.
