Making a Difference

Our amazing team of volunteers is committed to helping our needy companion animals of Habersham County through various programs.  We have no offices.  We have no facility.  We are NOT the shelter.

We are simply committed to serving the community's animals.

How, you ask?  Read more ...  We've got a story to tell!

The mission of the Habersham Humane Society, Inc. is to advance and promote humane treatment and care of Habersham County's companion animals through advocacy, education, targeted programs and support of the John B. Gesbocker Animal Shelter of HabershamCounty.

• We are not the “animal shelter” which is a county-funded department.  We do, however, partner with Habersham County Animal Shelter whenever possible to assist them in transports and offer financial assistance from time to time.  Our two separate organizations are joined by our common love for needy animals.
• HHS is comprised of volunteers who work without pay to help dogs & cats in need. 
• We do not have a housing facility or office. Our animals are housed entirely in foster homes. 
• We do not have a license to adopt out animals. 
• We are transport-focused, working with Road Trip Home and similar organizations to transport animals from Habersham County to partner shelters in the north and elsewhere. 
• We are a 501-c3 non-profit organization, which means that we rely wholly on donations and grants to keep us up and running.
