Saturdays and Sundays are Adoption Days!
For Saturday adoption events, we ask volunteers to help pick up animals from the shelter around 9am. Volunteers stay with these animals at PETsMART in Cumming (usually) from 10 - 2, or some portion of that time, helping to adopt them into new homes. Finally volunteers bring the unlucky, unadopted pets back to the shelter at 2pm. Sunday volunteers duties are similar. Saturday adoption days are held at PETsMART in Cumming, GA.
Sunday adoption days are held at various locations Call 706-265-9160

Here are some photos of our volunteers (Click any picture for a larger image.) Volunteers - How you can help!Our foster/adoption program in the Dawson County Humane Society is in need of more volunteers. Let us explain what our volunteers do, and you let us know if we can add your services to our list of helpers.
SHELTER VOLUNTEERS: Volunteers are needed both weekdays and weekends at the shelter, the temporary home for many dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. Volunteers will be involved in:
- walking dogs
- socializing the cats and kittens
- helping the staff clean cages
- replenishing food and water in bowls
- and scooping litter boxes
Volunteers will need to take a brief training class mandated by the Department of Agriculture and receive a volunteer manual. Other simple but important work for volunteers is - preparing newspaper to line the cages of puppies, cats and kittens
- sanitizing food and water bowls when necessary
Thankfully the number of volunteers available is growing, but the availability of volunteers can leave us lacking at times for proper care and help.
