People have come together worldwide to assist a special class of
friends unable to speak for themselves — our pets and companion
animals. These people have formed humane societies and animal adoption
and rescue agencies of local, regional, national and even international
scope.
Most humane societies and animal rescue agencies are not-for-profit
organizations, relying upon donations, grants and volunteer assistance.
The focus and goals of each agency vary, but as a group they serve to
perform and promote the following important functions:
- Protection, rescue and placement (through adoption or return to owner)
of lost, endangered and abused domestic animals;
- Education of pet owners and prospective pet owners regarding the
health, safety and proper care of pets;
- Operation of clinics to insure that even low-income pet owners can have
their animals innoculated against common diseases;
- Sponsorship of humane programs to limit or reduce populations of
domestic animals that have, through abandonment and subsequent
overbreeding, become feral (wild); such programs typically include
sterilization (neutering) and redomestication;
- Introduction and sponsorship of legislation regarding protection of
animals.
If you would like to become a pet owner (Pet caretaker is a better
term; if you are a true pet lover you realize that pets should not be
treated as property and that your pets really own you.), believe you can
do so responsibly (See our
Pet
Health & Safety Tips.), and wish to adopt a pet in Georgia,
please consider pet adoption from Georgia animal shelters or from a
Georgia SPCA, Georgia humane society or Georgia pet rescue. When you
adopt a dog, cat, or other pet, you provide love and care to an animal who
might otherwise never find a home. Tens of thousands of abandoned or
lost pets are euthanized annually in Georgia alone because no one comes to
their aid and the cost to maintain them in animal shelters is simply
too high. Dogs and cats are the preferred pets of Americans; sadly,
this makes them the most abundant and hence, as a group, the most
neglected. Let’s each do our part to help all of our
“fur-footed” friends find the good homes they so richly
deserve; adopt a dog, cat or other pet, donate to or volunteer at a
Georgia pet rescue.
