Paws4Life Humane Shelter

Through sheltering, pet placement, education, and animal law enforcement, the Habersham County Department of Animal Care & Control (HCACC) promotes and safeguards public safety and animal care.

Our mission is to make animals' lives better, lessen their suffering, and raise their standing in society. We protect, rescue, shelter, heal, adopt, and speak out for animals in need while igniting civic compassion and action.

We provide stray, abandoned, and unwanted animals homes; we inform the public about spaying and neutering; we lessen animal abuse and suffering; and we provide the animals with housing and medical care. We adopt out our animals to responsible, caring, and suitable households.

Regardless of the breed, age, or state of health, we think that every single soul is deserving of our love and compassion. We are on hand to help.

The care and disposal of abandoned and homeless animals brought to the shelter by law enforcement officials or local residents is handled by NEGAS. The animals will get compassionate treatment and care while they are housed at the shelter, pending their owner's recovery, adoption, rescue, or, if necessary, euthanasia.

Our goal is to foster responsible pet ownership in our neighborhood and provide compassionate care for dogs and cats.
