Thomasville Humane

Thomasville Humane Creating Impact Every Day.🐾
Adopt. Foster. Donate. Volunteer. We depend on memberships, donations, grants, and fundraising efforts.
(281)

We are a private, non-profit humane society serving the Thomasville community and Southwest Georgia as a "limited admission" shelter, focusing on animals in need of owner surrender. We adopt animals, provide medical care for newly adopted pets, and provide low cost sterilization services with the "Wellness Waggin," our mobile veterinary bus. Like all humane societies and SPCAs, we are independent

and are not affiliated with, nor do we receive regular funding from, any national animal welfare organizations or advocacy groups. Your interest in the welfare of the lost, homeless, abused, and abandoned pets in our community is greatly appreciated and vital to our continued success. Only financial support received locally will ensure our future and allow us to continue to care for the 4,000 animals per year that come through our doors. Your continued support means the world to us! We work hard to be the area’s leading advocate for animal welfare. Please help us continue to help them with your financial support!

Toto is here to brighten up your Monday with his adorable teefers 🥹

Toto was recently transported to Thomasville Humane along with his brother, R***r, after being rescued from a hoarding situation. Toto is just shy of a year old and he can take a little bit of time to build trust, but once he does, he loves to show off his loving, silly personality. ❤️

Toto is 20lb of love, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find his furever home. Adopt him today or visit our website at thomasvillehumane.org/adopt to see who else might be waiting for you! 🐾

Shout out to our friends in the Southern Regional Technical College Vet Tech program for capturing these adorable photos of Toto at his last check-up! 🫶

🚨 Happy Tails Alert! 🚨

Dakota was adopted from us back in May 2024 as a shy, young pup. He recently celebrated his 1st birthday with his new family and they sent us this fabulous update:

"He has been such a blessing to our family and our boys! He’s such a good boy! He loves laying on the couch taking naps with momma, running around burning off his energy outside, chewing on sticks BUT doesn’t do riding😂! He loves playing/fetching his bones! We have truly been blessed with an amazing boy!"

Dakota is so treasured by his family and we couldn't be happy for him ❤️

We love seeing updates of how our former residents are doing in their new homes! Send your photos to us at [email protected]!

This handsome guy is Boone! 🖤

Boone arrived at our shelter last week, and he has been stealing hearts ever since! This sweet, laidback guy loves a nice walk on a leash, playgroups with his doggy friends, and most of all—quality time with his favorite humans. He never misses an opportunity to get some good scritches behind the ears and dish out a wet kiss, or two! 😘

Boone is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, making him more than ready to find his furever home. Meet him today during open hours, 1-6pm, or visit our website to see who else might be waiting for you! 🐾

Breaking Weather Update from Meteorologist Marty 🎤

As we seek to understand this uncanny weather event in South GA, we have reached out to our resident meteorologist, Marty, for his remarks and Friday Forecast. Here's what he had to say:

"As it is my first snow, I've completed a full meteorological analysis (aka science). Here is my expert report:
❄️ Taste Test: Not much flavor. Good for a quick snack or additional hydration.
💨 Zoomies Speed: Reported increase of 87% (new personal best achieved).
🧊 Paw Test: A little chilly, but manageable.
🌟 Total rating: 8/10—would snow again.

Tomorrow’s forecast: The snow will melt, the sun will shine, and Thomasville Humane will be OPEN from 1-6pm! High chance of tail wags and adoptions." ☀️

Thank you, Marty, for this groundbreaking report! We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow between 1-6pm!

Happy !🐾

Here's some very happy lovebugs, heading to their new furever homes! Although it's not pictured, Monty also found his furever home this week! 🏡💕

You, too, can make a difference in the life of a homeless pet. Adopt, volunteer, donate, foster, or even just share. It all matters! Check out our website to see who might be waiting for you, or come in anytime between 1pm and 6pm, Monday-Saturday. We look forward to seeing you!

This week's Wag Your Tail Wednesday was sponsored by our Paw Partner, Golden Environmental Services! Thank you for your support!

Introducing Ladybug 🐞

Ladybug is a cool, laid-back gal who loves the simples things in life: treats, cuddles, and the great outdoors! She enjoys long walks where she can sniff and explore the world, and she plays well with other dogs as long as they have the same laid-back vibes that she does. 😎

This sweet girl has tested positive for heartworm disease, but she insists that we tell you that that does not mean her heart is broken--she stills know how to love just fine! Come meet her and see for yourself, or visit our website to see all of our adoptable dogs awaiting their forever homes! 🏡 ❤️

Through the prep, the freezing temps, and all the disruption, we hope you all take a moment to soak in the magic of this winter wonderland with your families, furbabies included! ❄️✨

For many pets, this might be their first snow day, and we’d love to see how they’re handling it! Are they snow zoomies experts, cautious explorers, or are they digging their paws in and refusing to participate?! Share your favorite photos in the comments! 📸

Cuddle up with Spud 💕

With his dazzling blue eyes, adorable wagging nub, and a heart of gold, Spud is the total package! Though he starts off a little shy, once he warms up, you'll discover a sweet, affectionate companion who just wants to be loved. Spud is a polite playmate in doggy playgroups (gentle, never ruff!) and would be a great fit for any family, kids included.

His $100 adoption fee includes his neuter surgery, microchip, and essential vaccines. Don’t let Spud be the one that got away—come meet him today! 🐾

21 More Lives Changed Forever! ✈️ ❤️

Thomasville Humane assisted with another lifesaving transport this weekend! This time, we packed our van with 4 cats and 17 dogs from Best Friends Humane Society in Worth County and drove them to South Carolina to meet their freedom flight pilot.

Thank you to all of the pilots, rescues, and coordinators to make this happen! And thank you again to our friends in Worth County for allowing us to be a part of such a special moment!

💡 Paws and Learn 💡

The freezing temps are here! Now's the time to bring your pets inside if you can. But in case you can't, here are some helpful tips to support outdoor pets, presented by our sponsor, Golden Environmental Services:

🐾 Providing a shelter is not enough to stay warm! Provide straw or other materials for insulation. If using blankets, change them out regularly to keep them from getting damp. Do not place a bed next to a space heater—provide a heat pad instead.

🐾 Make sure their water source does not freeze. Use a plastic bowl, not metal. Place warm water bottles under or in their bowl or better yet, purchase them a heated bowl.

🐾 Now is not the time to trap cats. If you are practicing T-N-R, wait until the temps raise again, so they can stay cozy and warm

We hope everyone and their pets stay warm this week! ❄️

Our Story

TTCHS is open-admission shelter and contracted with local government to provide animal control services to Thomas County and the 7 municipalities therein. The present facility has been located at 180 Big Star Drive for more than 20 years and can now shelter over 300 animals at a time. Like all humane societies and SPCAs we are independent and are not affiliated with, nor do we receive regular funding from, any national animal welfare organizations or advocacy groups. The aforementioned animal control contract provides about 40% of our yearly income. Memberships, donations, grants, and fundraising efforts, therefore, make up the majority of our annual revenue. Your interest in the welfare of the lost, homeless, abused, and abandoned pets in the community is greatly appreciated and vital to continued success. Only financial support received locally will ensure the future and allow them to continue to care for the 4,000 animals per year that come through the doors. Your continued support means that the ones that do not have to be euthanized for reasons of health or public safety have a chance to find a good, loving home. The shelter works hard to be the area’s leading advocate for animal welfare. Please help them continue to help them with your financial support!
