🎄❤️ So many of our animals are home for the holidays! ✨

To the incredible adopters who opened their hearts and homes — thank you. You didn’t just adopt a pet… you changed a life. And this week, SEVEN beautiful souls got the greatest gift of all: a family! 🏠

🐾 Hazelnut – enjoying the good life and learning what it means to be truly loved.
🐾 Biscuits – a cozy lap and his very own human to purr beside forever.
🐾 Razzle – finally getting the soft landing he always deserved.
🐾 Pilar & Prairie – adopted together, just as they hoped… best friends, and now forever home side by side.
🐾 Scutter – one of our one-eyed boys who will never lost sight of what he wanted most!
🐾 Kiwi (no photo) – finally getting to sleep in a warm bed with folks who love him.

There is no better Christmas present than watching an animal step into their forever. This is why we are here— this is our purpose. Thank you for choosing adoption! Thank you for giving them a future! Thank you for being the holiday magic. 🎁✨

From all of us — and all the wagging tails and quiet purrs —
Thank you for adopting. Thank you for loving.
Happy holidays, and welcome to the Hart County Humane Society family. 🎄🐾

❤️‍🩹 Meet Dozer — One of Our Quiet Fighters 💔

Dozer is one of the medical cases you haven’t seen until now. Behind the scenes, we’re constantly taking on emergencies like his — the ones that don’t always make it to social media, but still need help just as badly.

Dozer came to us as a tiny, healthy 1.5 lb kitten… until a sudden re**al prolapse changed everything. With no warning and no clear cause, he was rushed into care and has now endured three surgeries in almost 1 month. Each surgery was more invasive than the last, and every time we prepared to hope… it happened again.

And yet, Dozer keeps fighting—

After each surgery, he wakes up purring. He plays. He eats. He reaches for life with everything he has — and that’s why we’re giving him every chance we can.

💙 His medical journey so far:
• Surgery #1: Purse-string procedure
• Surgery #2: Abdominal colopexy
• Surgery #3: More complex colopexy — his last shot
• Prescription diet for long-term management
• Ongoing meds, vet checks, & supportive care

💰 Costs so far:
• 3 Surgeries
• Pain meds, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories
• Long-term specialty food & monitoring

We may face tough decisions one day, but today is not that day. Today, Dozer is happy. Today, he’s fighting. Today, we’re choosing hope.

🐾 If you can donate, please do.
Your support covers his care and helps us continue to fight for his life. We will always fight— even the quiet ones, even the complicated ones, even the ones no one else sees.

💙 Thank you for believing in Dozer. Thank you for believing in the fighters.
Together, we can give him his chance.

On Christmas Day, as homes fill with laughter, warmth, and love…
our animals are feeling that love too — because of YOU.

Today, stockings are opened, bellies are full, and safe places are wrapped in care. Medical fosters are spending the holiday with the animals who needed them most. Blankets are cozy. Hearts are full.

This is what your support makes possible.

Thank you for caring. Thank you for loving the ones who needed it most this year.

From all of us — two-legged and four-legged — Merry Christmas. 🤍🎄

🎄✨ Welcome to the Island of Misfit Cats ✨🎄

This Christmas, not every cat is picture-perfect… and that’s exactly what makes them magical. 🌠

On our very own Island of Misfit Cats, you’ll find:
🐾 Three-legged adventurers who don’t let anything slow them down
👁️ One-eyed wonders who see the world with twice the heart
💫 Wobbly walkers who add a little extra sparkle to every step

Today, we want to highlight these 6 Special Kitties:

• SCULLY, a young kitten who has FIV

• BLINK, a young kitten with one deformed eye

• CALEEKO, a young adult who suffered an injury requiring a front leg amputation

• ARIA, a young kitten with a deformed 3rd eyelid

• CILA, a young kitten with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a permanent wobbly-ness

• GWENNY, a young adult who came to us missing an entire foot

These cats may not fit the “storybook” mold, but they are overflowing with personality, resilience, and love. They’ve survived, they’ve adapted, and now they’re just waiting for one thing—a home that sees them for who they are, NOT what they’re missing.

Sometimes the most beautiful gifts come with a wobble, a wink, or an extra-special hop 🥹

🎁 Adopt a misfit.
❤️ Change a life.
🏡 Make your Christmas a little more magical.

Message us to meet our Island of Misfit Cats and find the one who’s meant to be part of your happily-ever-after. 🎄🐾

As we close out another incredible year, we want to pause and say thank you to the heart of our organization — our amazing volunteers. ❤️

From our dedicated dog team to our compassionate cat team, these selfless humans come together every single day to save hundreds of animals. Our volunteers wear many hats: loving foster families, tireless medical and bottle-feeding teams, dependable daily care teams, enthusiastic event and adoption-day volunteers, and the often unseen but absolutely essential cleaning, laundry, and behind-the-scenes helpers who keep everything running.

Whether you’ve been part of this mission for all 19 years or you just joined us this year, please know this: we — and the animals — could not do this without you. Every life saved has YOUR fingerprints on it! 💖

Today, we celebrate these incredible humans with a Christmas party, and yes — we’ll be sharing photos of our volunteers volunteering… because nothing says “holiday spirit” like being caught mid-cleanup, mid-cuddle, or mid-chaos. 🎄🐾

As we head into 2026, every sick, injured, and stray animal we meet will be met with a team of compassion, commitment, and refusal to give up. ❤️‍🩹🐾

Enjoy these photos of just a few of our volunteers doing their thing! 💖

Thank you so much to everyone who attended and supported our Stockings for Strays event at Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter yesterday! Because of your kindness and generosity, our shelter dogs and cats enjoyed extra playtime, treats, toys, lots of love — and the holiday spirit was truly felt! 🎄🎁

🎁 The giving continues!
From now through New Year’s, every dog, cat, kitten, or puppy adopted from Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter will receive a FREE stocking stuffed with goodies to take home with them while supplies last!!

If you’ve been considering adoption, now is the perfect time to give one (or more 😉) of these babies a fresh start and ring in the New Year with a new best friend by your side. 🐶🐱✨

Thank you again to our amazing community for always showing up, giving back, and helping us make the holidays brighter for animals in need. ❤️🐾

Hi friends, it’s me— Sprinkles! 💕
I may be in a foster home (& still available for adoption 😉) but all of my best buddies at Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter are waiting for their own Christmas miracles! 🎁🐶🐱

Please RUN (don’t walk!) to the shelter in Lavonia TODAY from 11am–2pm and help give my friends the Christmas gifts they deserve. I promise the tail wags and purrs are worth it. ❤️

These friends don't have their own family for the holidays, so come out and show them that they have a whole community standing by their side this holiday season!

Some of our adoptable cats & dogs had their very own Christmas photoshoot, and let’s just say… modeling is clearly their backup career! 🐾😄 There were head tilts, questionable sitting choices, a little bribery with treats, and lots of “is this tomfoolery over yet?” faces.

We're so excited to share the festive results — blurry tongues, crooked antlers, and all. 💖 And yes, every single one of these stars is hoping their biggest gift this season is a forever home. 🎁

Stay tuned, share the laughs, and maybe fall in love along the way. 🐶🐱✨
