Questions & Answers

I know y’all aren’t accepting dogs right now but on the chance somebody is missing a sweet old brown basset hound mix, tonight around 10pm on Winterville Road, one was wandering so close to the highway. I stopped and tried to call him but he ran.

Does anyone know the charge they have for surrendering a dog? It breaks my heart doing this, but I've picked up two jobs full and part and I just don't have the time for a dog. I want the best for this beautiful baby.

Kimberly Hensley | Oct 3, 2018
Melody Gordon | Oct 3, 2018

I think that it is $25....please don't quote me. Give them a call and they will answer your question.

Does your shelter come pick up a mom and her kitten at my work in Lancaster. All feral and return them back to their colony after being spayed and neutered

Hi Deanna! I checked with Athens' community cat subject matter expert, Kelly. She suggests that you contact the PAWS Humane Society, located in Columbus, and inquire about their spay/neuter resources. If you get an appointment for spay/neuter procedures, you will need to ask PAWS if there is anyone near you who can do the trapping and transport. Community cat colony caregivers really love their cats, and are generally very resourceful in helping others who share their passion for helping our feline friends. Thank you, Deanna, for having such a big heart for kitties!

I would think so. I live across the street and it's a very nice clinic.

I found a kitten and I want to know if I can leave it there and how much should I pay?

glenda portillo | Sep 2, 2022
Athens Area Humane Society | Sep 2, 2022

Hi Glenda. To clarify, do you mean you found a stray kitten and you're asking if you can surrender it to us? If so, the Athens Area Humane Society cannot legally accept 'stray' animals. Assuming you are located in Clarke County, please bring your kitty to Athens Clarke County Animal Services at 125 Buddy Christian Way (706-613-3540). They can put your kitty up for adoption, and after a five-day 'stray hold', we can transfer the kitty here for adoption, too. I hope that helps! Our friends at ACC-AS are very kind and helpful, so please give them a call.

Hey does anyone knows about a free puppies

Martinez Vasquez | Dec 6, 2021
Dana Boatman | Dec 6, 2021

I haven't heard of them running any specials or waiving fees. I was just there last week and they were charging their normal fees. Their normal fees may seem steep, however, if you take in account what you are getting with the pet it is a great deal.

I'm looking for a puppy to love but I don't have 250 they ask for does anyone know where I can find a puppy who needs a good loving ho.e my husband works nights and it gets linely

Pracilla “Red” Gibson | Oct 2, 2020
Erin Quinn | Oct 2, 2020

Are you or your husband a military vet? If so..the athens humane society used to partner with a group that paid adoption fees for vets on an adoption/rescue animal.

Is there any rabbits at this time? If there is how much are they?

Axquss La | Oct 2, 2020
Melissa Lester | Oct 2, 2020

I saw no rabbits om their web site.

Have a mid size dog and 2 cats that need homes. Can anyone help me??? Been evicted from where I live and need to find them homes. Dont want them in a pound

Alex Altamirano | Oct 2, 2020
Pamela Weinstein (Pam) | Oct 2, 2020

You can try call Athens Area Humane Society, but as a rule they only take animals by appointment. It is a no kill shelter so your animals must be adoptable. Try them because they have other resources. Depends on who answers the phone. I wish you luck. They weren't near full as of xmas but do not know how many animals they have now. It's worth a shot.

Nina Brumbalow | Oct 3, 2019
Dan Ragogna | Oct 3, 2019

I don't think they will take your pets. I tried to turn in a stray kitten but was told I had to turn it in to animal control before they could pull him out. You could talk to the Oconee animal shelter and see if you can surrender them, or try to find a friend or someone who can care for them.

How much would adopting a small kitten be? Or does the price depend?

Melanie Finch | Oct 3, 2019
Tamila Thompson | Oct 3, 2019

I have no idea how much the adoption fees are. I was thete to spay two strays that have been hanging around my house. Sorry I couldn't help. You could try their website. Fees may be posted. Good luck.

Yes i have a 8month old, 3 puppies & a momma i need to place i had a stroke & can not care for them properly. Can you take them?

Kathy Mattox | Oct 3, 2019
Pamela Weinstein (Pam) | Oct 3, 2019

As far as I know they don't take in animals. PLEASE call them for advice, as I know that they will steer you in the right direction.

Would they accept a cat that’s from Jackson county? This poor cat that’s been hanging around is really sweet and deserves a home but my family can’t provide that home currently...

TheGoldenGoatFluff AKM | Oct 3, 2018
Carrie Bryant | Oct 3, 2018

They will but they will charge a small out of county fee, if u have any friends in athens u can ask them to take them for no fee. But i would suggest trying to find a home for it urself, just because the shelter is over run with cats and kittens at the moment that it might take a long time to get adopted

I found a puppy that came from a stray the stray is a black lab. The puppy did drink milk and eat a little cat food. Can i please find someone i can give her too?

Terri Kinney | Oct 3, 2018
Kieran | Oct 3, 2019

Please dont give away animals for free. People will abuse them. Post them on petfinder.com and charge a modest rehoming fee. Thanks for looking out for animals!

Do u have to pay to take a dog to the humane society

Ruby Brady | Oct 3, 2018
leon mcswain | Oct 3, 2018

I think it depends on whether you are surrendering or not. This humane society offers a few select dervices at very low prices (spay and neuter) but I would call for services pricing and options. As for surrendering no they do not charge.
