This page is dedicated to the pets in need of the Athens area and our surrounding communities. We work closely with Animal Control Shelters in our area to rescue animals and save lives. We are a private non-profit and therefore receive no government or national funding. We rely solely on private donations from individuals, businesses, and groups. 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. We love interacting with the community and are happy to help anyone in need to the best of our ability! ADOPT SPAY NEUTER

🤍 Collen 🤍

Handsome? Check. Charming? Double check. Total heart-stealer? Absolutely. Collen is a 3-month-old terrier/Pyrenees mix who knows how to work his puppy-dog eyes! This little fluffball was rescued alongside his mom, Giselle, and despite his rough start, he's all tail wags and kisses. He adores his squeaky toys, snuggling into cozy blankets, and watching his puppy pals from his playpen. Plus, he’s a Doggy Day Out favorite who loves outdoor adventures!

Come meet Collen at the Athens Area Humane Society, located at 1030 Mitchell Bridge Rd in Athens! Our adoption center is open 9AM - 6PM, Wednesday through Monday (closed on Tuesdays). Check out our adoptable pets at www.athenshumanesociety.org. If his photo is still listed, he’s ready to meet you! If not, he’s off to new adventures. 💕🐾
