HELP! I'VE LOST (OR FOUND) A PET!

Habersham Humane Society is a private, non-profit animal welfare agency and, as such, we are legally prohibited from taking strays/found animals into our care. We have NO facility for animals. Per Georgia state law, stray/found animals must be taken to the local shelter/animal control facility that provides for such service in the jurisdiction in which the animal was found.

Each local facility has varying stray/hold times. Habersham Animal Control may allow the finder to hold the animal for the mandated time, but the finder must file a found pet report and make a good faith effort to reunite the pet with its legal owner. Owners who have lost a pet need a central location to find them and the best location is their local municipal animal control facility.

1) CONTACT YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER! It is important that they know about your lost or found animal when a stray is brought to them or a owner contacts them about their lost pet.

2) POST YOUR ANIMAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA! Both Habersham Animal Control and Habersham Humane Society frequently re-post lost and found animals on their Facebook pages. The word will spread!
