🐾 Meet our Dogs of the Month! 🐾

Caleb: A gentleman of 3-5 years with a serene soul. He's fully vetted and has been patiently awaiting 6 months to find his forever home. He would do good with other calm dogs but doesn't prefer rough housing or cats. If you have a quiet household and love relaxing companionship, Caleb might just be your perfect match!

Monroe: At 2 years old, Monroe is a picture of tranquility on walks. She's house trained and fully vetted. She has been a perfect dog while in our care for the past 9 weeks. Could Monroe be the serene buddy you've been searching for?

Chip: With a heart as big as his love for belly rubs, Chip is a 1-2 year old sweetheart who prefers to be your one and only furry love. He has been with us the last 7 weeks and has been the biggest sweetheart. He walks like a dream on a leash and is fully vetted, just waiting to bring joy to a lucky family.

Callie: Bursting with sweetness at just 1 year old, Callie is a social butterfly who adores playtime with other dogs. Fully vetted and overflowing with love, she's been dreaming of a forever home for 6 months now.

If you're ready to welcome a furry friend into your life, come meet these lovable companions in person! ❤️🐶

🐱 Leave Them Be Because Mother Knows Best 🐱

"Mother knows best" isn't just an old saying—it's a critical guideline in caring for kittens. The natural care provided by a mother cat is unparalleled, and despite our best efforts with bottle-feeding and raising kittens, we can't match it. Especially since our shelter doesn’t have the resources to adequately care for neonatal kittens without their mothers.

Why It’s Crucial to Let Mother Cats Be:
A mother cat instinctively knows how to protect and nurture her kittens. By providing essentials like shelter, and consistent access to food and water, we can support her without interfering.

👀 Observation First:
If you find kittens outdoors, observe from a distance for a few hours. The mother is likely nearby and may be gathering food, relocating her kittens, or simply taking a short break. Or simply waiting for YOU to leave.

How You Can Help:

- Provide Essentials: Offer regular food and water. Learn more at alleycat.org/BestPractices.
- Offer Shelter: Explore outdoor shelter options at alleycat.org/ShelterGallery.
- Maintain Distance: Monitor them discreetly to ensure their safety but minimize disturbance.

Important Reminder:
If you are not prepared to fully commit to the round-the-clock care required by these kittens, please do not disturb them. Prematurely removing them from their mother will jeopardize their chances of survival.

🐾 For more on how to assist mother cats and their kittens, including Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) strategies, visit alleycat.org/MomAndKittens.

Understanding when to step back is vital for the well-being of kittens. Let’s respect and support nature’s way whenever possible. 💕

The Douglas County Humane Society

The Douglas County Humane Society is not a shelter nor do we operate one. We work closely with the Douglas County Animal Shelter in Douglas County Georgia by supporting their spay and neuter of dogs and cats before adoption as well as assisting adopters treat Heartworm Positive dogs. This will reduce future intake of animals and reduce pet overpopulation while improving adoption rates. 24 dogs have received Heartworm Treatment in 2019. 582 animals have been sterilized at the shelter. We were not able to cover December of 2019 and we hope to do better for 2020.

We assist Douglas County residents to spay and neuter their pets and feed pets of families in economic hardship. 2019 has seen 101 animals sterilized and we provide food for over 320 pets plus the shelter. There was money left in the budget for those surgeries, so we need to spread the word throughout Douglas County, GA in 2020. Make us raise the budget!! Reducing the pet overpopulation and reducing intakes at the shelter is worth it!!

This society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donations are tax deductible. We can always use volunteers and donations.
