We also have a Spay & Neuter Clinic where we offer

low-cost surgeries to the public and rescue groups. This affordable service helps people save more lives by spaying and neutering their pets. Our posts will include photos of adoptable animals, adoption photos, events, fundraisers, and news regarding our organization. Please feel free to leave positive comments and feedback.

🦇 Bruce Wayne 🦇

Bruce Wayne likes to spend his days perched high atop Wayne Enterprises. . . or rather, his cozy cat quad, keeping a watchful eye over the city of Paw-thom (the adoption center LOL). Whether he's silently judging us mere mortals or just contemplating his next snack, we'll never know!

At first, Bruce might seem a bit reserved. . . don't worry, he's just occupied with his detective work 🧐. Offer him some gentle head rubs, and this super kitty will reveal his true, snuggly nature. 🥰 He’s got extra toes on his front paws, making him a truly unique hero in the making! Will he use those thumbs for good—or for knocking over your favorite glass? Come meet this little vigilante at the Athens Area Humane Society to find out!

Our adoption center is open from 9am to 6pm, Wednesday through Monday. Adoption applications, as well as profiles of all our adoptable pets, can be found on our website at www.athenshumanesociety.org. 🌐🕘

🖤 Remember the Seven Dwarves litter?? "Sleepy" (now named Hank) is our featured Happy Tail this week! 🖤

Hank was adopted by Mary Kate in March of 2024 🫶

"We were missing a furry friend to complete our little family! [Hank] brings us so much joy!! He’s the snuggler of all snuggly puppies, and super affectionate. I truly see him as our son.

Hank has thrived while at home with us, and has been able to reconnect with 2 of his brothers through Pawtropolis Eastside!! I’m so glad siblings from that litter have found their way back together."

We absolutely ADORE seeing these pet transformations! If you have a "happy tail" to share, fill out the form linked below (and also linked in our bio)! 📝

🐾 Celebrating National Dog Day with. . . Luna 🐾

Don’t let her sweet face fool you—Luna is as Husky as they come! This gorgeous girl is bursting with energy and needs a forever home with someone who can keep up with her high-octane lifestyle. A Husky sibling would be the cherry on top! 🍒

Luna is an Olympic-level jumper (seriously, 6-foot fences are no match for her), so crate-training in an impact crate is a must. As a working breed, she thrives on both mental and physical exercise, even when you’re not around. While she may be a bit high-maintenance, Luna more than makes up for it with her loyalty, love, and whip-smart mind. Plus, she’s just about the most stunning pup you’ll ever meet! 🌟

Ready to meet your new adventure buddy? Come visit Luna at the Athens Area Humane Society! Our adoption center is located at 1030 Mitchell Bridge Road. We are open for playtime between 9am and 6pm, Wednesday though Monday (no appointment necessary!).

🐺 Luna 🐺

Meet Luna, our stunning, high-energy Husky who's as sweet as she is gorgeous! But don’t be fooled—this girl is as Husky as they come. Luna is an incredibly active pup looking for a fur-ever home that can keep up with her boundless energy. If you have the time, love, and maybe even a Husky sibling to share it with, Luna would be over the moon! 🥰
