We appreciate all of our supporters!

Angie and Chris Knepper present a check to Dr. Mills for the support of the Dawson County Humane Society. The Kneppers were unable to attend the Fur Ball event, but nevertheless presented a check for $200, the price for two tickets to the event.  Like other Dawson County business owners, the Kneppers see the need for small businesses to support the Humane Society objectives.

Board member Kurt Krattinger presented a certificate of appreciation to Dan Centofanti of Mill Creek Environmental Engineering.  Dan is the owner of Mill Creek and approached the Humane Society in the early stages to offer his company's services to benefit our construction project.  He donated nearly $2500 of engineering and testing services to help us prepare for construction.  Dan is a big pet-lover and is anxious to see our project be successful.

Dawson County Humane Society President Doc Mills stopped by Wilco Printing to present a certificate of appreciation to owner, Jim Wilkins.  Three generations of Wilkins family can be seen in the store at any given time, and all have been generous and kind to us.  Thousands of dollars worth of printing has been donated by Wilco over the years.  Outright monetary gifts have been given by the family as well.  They are genuinely interested in seeing this project to completion.

Russ Anderson presented a Certificate of Appreciation from the Dawson County Humane Society to Peter Hill of HDA Architects.  HDA designed the first animal shelter for Dawson County, the one we are about to build!  Peter is one of this nation's few architects specializing in veterinary facilities, and he happens to live here in Dawson County.  Recently they guided us through the process of selecting the contractor.  HDA will continue to assist us as we build the shelter to help assure us that the building is completed as designed.

Pat Anderson presented one of our Certificates of Appreciation to Yvonne Bombardier, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Dawsonville.  Yvonne has been a long-time supporter of our efforts.  She sponsored and promoted a successful adoption event one Saturday in front of her store that fronts on Georgia 400.  She has also donated food and treats to our stray animals in the Foster/Adoption Program.  We are so grateful to small-business owners like Yvonne in Dawsonville.
