I went here after speaking with someone about the possibility of bringing the two dogs I found abandoned. I tried going inside the area to drop dogs off but it was locked and they also had a notice of them being full. I’m not sure where the communication was lost but I wish I would’ve known before driving over an hour to get to the shelter! I will say it was nice of them to have a poster of other shelters that could be accepting of dogs. However, they were all full when I called them—which isn’t anyone’s fault particularly. I still appreciate this place a lot seeing as I rescued my first fur baby here, I just wish communication was better.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Jonathan Wiley | Oct 3, 2018

When I adopted my dog, all I saw were dogs and cats. However that does not mean they don't have them somewhere. I would just give them a call to find out if they have other animals available.

Do you guys give shots for cats? How much will it cost?

danielle samuels | Oct 3, 2017
Kuebiko | Oct 3, 2019

They give shots to all the pets they already have in the shelter, but not for any other pets like a veterinarian. Petstopclinic.com gives affordable shots, though. You might be able to find something nearby.

I want to make sure that the dog I adopt is compatible with my dog. Is there a way to set up a meet and greet with my dog there before I make a decision?

Gary Haynes | Oct 2, 2020
Allan Bybel | Oct 2, 2020

Call the place where you expect to adopt the dog and ask them if they can arrange it.

Do you euthanize?

donna m | Oct 3, 2019
Lynn Leverette | Oct 3, 2019

They don't euthanize for space, if that is what you are asking. It is for extreme cases of medical conditions, if an animal has reached a point of which it cannot be saved.

Can I surrender my old dog here? I now have a newborn that is allergic and fluffy is old also pee's everywhere in our home and landlord says get him out or we all have to leave. Please dont bash me I hate I have to do this😖

Bree Denise | Oct 3, 2019
CJ Simmons | Oct 3, 2019

Bree Denise, please do the humane thing and hold him while he is euthanized. No one is going to adopt a dog that pees all over the house. U will take him to the shelter where he will be stressed and when they run out of room they will kill him all alone. So take this sweet animal you have supposedly loved all of these years and talk to him, let him smell you as he goes to sleep for the very last time. The kindest thing u can die for him. It might cost $50. U will never regret it. Please I beg you.

Do we have to make an appointment to adopt?

Johana Arce | Jul 4, 2022
John N | Jul 4, 2022

Something to note: Majority of animals are released on days after they are intaked and viewable at the shelter and/or online. In which case they are 'first come first adopt' based on a in person queue sign up system on their adoptable date. Sometimes people will line up hours (possibly overnight) before actual opening hours to have priority for certain high desired pets to be. Visit and ask about this for more details if it applies to you. We just adopted a small dog, who wasn't even our first preferred pet of choice, on Tuesday 6/21. I was outside in line at ~730am and there were 10 people ahead of me.

Why don't they allow you to adopt online? It would be an easier process than people standing in line, only to have to wait until 11am...

Sherese Carter- Thomas | Jul 4, 2022

They need to know if the adoptee is going to a good home. There are people out there who will adopt dogs and cats for nefarious purposes such as dog fighting.

Is pit bull a good dog around kids

Jesse molesanga | Oct 2, 2021
Rebecka Palmer | Oct 2, 2021

If you commit to training and make sure the dog gets plenty of exercise and love then absolutely. Pit bulls were known as nanny dogs for YEARS because of their protective nature. That being said, a young pit bull will have a lot of energy and need a lot of attention and they are smart enough to remember mistreatment so if you cannot provide the appropriate attention or you tend to yell or get aggressive when disciplinining then a pit bull is absolutely NOT the dog for you.

Weston Austin | Oct 2, 2020
Suzanne Harris | Oct 2, 2020

Call or visit the Humane Society website. They will likely be able to send you to a rescue shelter first. Giving up a dog is called an owner surrender. These dogs are usually put down first, before stray or found animals, if given to a kill shelter. Keep that in mind when looking for a place. If your dog is purebred, check with the breed associations to see if they have a rescue program.

A S-T | Oct 3, 2019

There are several places you can list them and have the power to choose the potential new family. RescueMe and Petfinder are great ways to rehome them. The Gwinnett Shelter is not a bad option, its busy all the time and they would get placed very fast, espec knowing their breed mix & make up. The screening process is not really anything more than paperwork, have I D and don't make going there a habit. But it does get the dogs, cats & other animals placed in new homes a lot faster and minimal need to do the bad stuff.(can't go there) Hope this helps. Good luck.

You can surrender it, but keep in mind it is now considered an "owner surrender" and there is a fee. If space is needed due to capacity, owner surrenders are the first to be euthanized as this is NOT a " no-kill" shelter. Your best bet is to find a rescue group or someone else to take it.

I have a 8 month old American Bully name Marlee, very sweet. It saddens me but I have to give him up as soon as possible. Would really love for him to be in a good space/home. Does the shelter take all dogs?

Se’Tara C. Ruffin | Oct 3, 2019
Lynn Leverette | Oct 3, 2019

You must go to www.gwinnettcounty.com and fill out a owner surrender form and submit it. The form is found on the animal shelter website. They take animals according to space. They are not put down, but put on the website for adoption and if not adopted they can be pulled by a rescue group.

Suzanne Thompson | Oct 3, 2019
Elizabeth Ives | Oct 3, 2019

I think they update it pretty reguraly. My advice is to keep going up there until you find what she's looking for. Puppies and small dogs don't last long.. And also you can't place a hold on any animal over the phone only in person. Best of luck!

A Angie S | Oct 3, 2019

You have to visit the shelter and they allow you to visit with the pet first. If you like one you have to submit an application, you have to wait a few days then you can bring the animal home. They have mostly older dogs than puppies. You have to keep checking if you don't find what you're looking for on the day you visit. Also they don't train dogs. You would have to hire a trainer or take the pet to a Pet smart, they offer training sessions for dogs.

Sounds like neighbor keeps dog in garage. When it begins to bark, shortly after it sounds like it is being tortured. What steps would you recommend?

Paul Kelley | Oct 3, 2018
Jim Brown | Oct 3, 2018

Call ANIMAL control. They will first go talk with the dog owner, warn them what will happen if this keeps up. HOWEVER, UNLESS THE DOG IS A THREAT . IT WOULD TAKE GOING TO COURT TO GET A JUDGE ORDER TO REMOVE THE DOG. THAT'S how it works in Georgia counties. If those folks are being mean to the dog. Tell ANIMAL control an they will ask to see the dog. If that dog has signs of abuse showing on it. There will be a order issued to remove the dog and the owner will go to jail for animal abuse. Please call ANIMAL control.
