Henry County Humane Society Inc

A very dedicated group of volunteers helping to rescue, rehab and rehome dogs and cats in Henry County.

We adopted our dog from here last winter. They did a great job matching him with us and continued to check on us after we brought him
home. Everyone there really does love and care for the animals.

I have adopted numerous dogs from this nonprofit and each interaction with them has been wonderful

The HCHS is a wonderful nonprofit organization truly devoted to the wellbeing of all the animals in their care. We have adopted three dogs from them which are the most precious, loving children! The facility itself is so clean. I love the fact they are serious about the animals they adopt out; checking Vet Records! They are so thankful for donations so they can stay open, saving, loving and giving the animals in their care a second chance to live a happy well deserved life! Susan and Karen are the two workers who have helped us; I know all of the workers/volunteers there are awesome! You can feel the love!

We adopted our newest family member from the Henry County Humane Society. The people are professional and caring. The adoption process was simple. It’s obvious that everyone associated with this organization is dedicated to finding the best outcomes for all of the creatures in their care.

I adopted the cutest, sweetest dog from Henry Co. Humane Society - a small boy about 11 lbs., Pelham. I am so impressed with my contact, Susan because she is so personable and highly qualified to care for the animals at the shelter. She took such great care of Pelham to ensure he received the very best care to help him regain his health. He is up-to-date on all of his shots with complete medical records on the treatment he received. This is important to me because I have a mini doodle and also want to be able to give my Vet the documentation for their records. This was such a positive experience. It is obvious the Henry Co. Humane Society staff put their hearts and souls into their rescue work.

We searched a number of local and on-line dog rescue sites after our dog passed. Although we live in north Metro, it was worth the drive to Henry County where we adopted a dog that was just perfect for us. HCHS staff spend time with the animals so you have a good idea about the temperament, age, general health of the dog under consideration and whether it would be a good fit. Our little rescue was a delight. After she passed, we returned to HCHS and adopted another dog which has been another totally positive experience. It was worth the drive!!!!! Loving, caring folks!

There are not enough hours in the day to explain to anyone how awesome the Henry County Humane Society is. Every single person that is involved with this program is 100% dedicated to the animals they serve. The lengths they go to in helping the neglected and unwanted souls that cross their path are like nothing I have ever witnessed before. They are honest in their screening process of matching their souls with new families and they work tirelessly to make sure the matches are good for all involved. They are also very conscious of the standing of the rescue groups they work with, only the best will do for their babies. I honestly cannot imagine what this operation would be like with out each one of them.

I adopted my first rescue from Henry Co Humane Soc. It was the best experience. My sweet Nora has made our family whole. Susan at the agency was terrific. She worked around my schedule to allow me to meet Nora. She was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. All the animals at the rescue were loved and well cared for. I can not say enough great things about this agency. I drove 2 hrs to get there and would definitely do it all over again. Thank Goodness for places like Henry Co Humane Society.

Great organization! We have adopted 2 of our fur babies from them and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I have adopted two dogs from Henry Humane society! If I had more room I would adopt ALL of them! The people that work and maintain the facility at Henry Humane Society are all very friendly and knowledgeable, what is most impressive to me is there never ending care they provide all the animals there, cats and dogs. Also they care enough about the animals to make sure they all get a pet friendly forever home - "Love 'em"!

Much thanks to Henry County Humane Society! They accepted, vetted and loved on an extremely neglected , matted and sick middle-aged pup that I have since adopted. She is now healthy, happy and a beloved member of our family. HCHS spent much more in this dog's care (she also needed surgery) than they got back from my adoption fee but that didn't deter them from providing exceptional care to a dog that needed it. The shelter is always clean and the animals in their care are well cared for. This volunteer run shelter is top notch!

Henry County Humane Society is a group of caring compassionate loving people. Seeing their dedicated volunteer presence at each large community event, the same faces over and over, this shows how well this organization is to not only the pets in their program but also their wonderful volunteers.

Henry County Humane Society is an amazing place with amazing people! Our family adopted a puppy from them last year and they were so accommodating. They let us come visit several times with our chosen puppy before he was old enough to come home. Even after hours! I could tell everyone there truly loved the cats and dogs that lived there. The facility was clean and all animals looked well taken care of and healthy. When my daughters are old enough, we plan to volunteer there!

Henry County Human Society (HCHS) is a blessing for both four legged and two legged creatures alike. They go beyond simply placing animals in homes. HCHS takes the time and applies the diligence to go above and beyond to place animals in the right home, creating lasting bonds for animals and humans alike. Once an adoption happens, the relationship does not end there. They have a wonderful social presence that provides ongoing education and information and they truly create a sense of being in the HCHS family...which is why its no wonder they have numerous repeat adopters. The care and concern they give to the animals in their care is truly remarkable and heartwarming. When we took our recently adopted dog to our vet for a health check, he commented that he had never seen such a well cared for and healthy dog come from a shelter before. HCHS performs a wonderful service and does so with 100% heart behind it!

HCHS cares for each individual animal under their care. They don't just care for animals but also keep their online presence extremely active, which is so important for adoptions. It was how I was able to find my precious boy shih tzu who is now my most wonderful companion. He may be a rescue but he has the best personality and behavior. The work they do can at times seem so thankless but they continue to carry on. I also continue to donate regularly because the HCHS's work and dedication is so stellar.

We had rescued a puppy at the Atlanta Humane Society and then felt she needed a companion. So we searched and finally found the perfect companion for our Dixie. Mistletoe had been thrown out on the street with her newborn puppies by her owner at Christmastime. Luckily a neighbor called animal control and they picked her up and brought her and her puppies to Henry county Humane Society. Her babies were all adopted but Mistletoe sat in the shelter for 3 months. You could tell she was abused by her previous owner, she was very thin and skiddish. It took a lot of love, training and time til she learned that she was lovable and that is was ok to be happy. It has been two years and Missy and her sister Dixie are inseparable. Thank you Henry County for taking her in.

I'm an avid fan of Henry County Humane Society. Their residents are very well cared for by the staff & volunteers during the time these precious babies wait for their forever families to arrive.

I have dealt with several rescue agencies over the years, but I have to say Henry County Humane Society is the absolute best. I have adopted two dogs from them, and I have always found them to be caring, helpful and professional. They really care about the animals, and it shows in everything they do. I help them whenever I can, and I hope others will consider doing the same. They make such a difference in the lives of so many fur babies.

Two years ago, on July 5, I drove from East Central Florida to the Henry County Humane Society to pick up a Shih Tzu named Lindsey (now named Emmie Grace.) I had applied for her not knowing if I would be considered since it was written that there were no adoptions outside of the Atlanta area. But, after losing my 15 year old Shih Tzu in June and being devastated, I wrote how I felt after seeing "Lindsey" on Petfinder.com. When Susan called me to tell me she was mine, I was ecstatic. She and another person investigated potential places for me and "Lindsey" to stay overnight so we could have time together and rest before making the trip back to Florida. Susan also helped me with getting all the official paperwork done including that which changed her name to Emmie Grace. She got me a harness (one that I brought was too big) and a carrier that would work for Emmie. Emmie had been bathed and groomed prior to my getting to the shelter. Emmie looked so different but Susan assured me she was the same dog. After we got home to Florida, Susan had me check in with her a few times, which I was happy to do. This shelter had saved my Emmie Grace's life! She had been taken in with her brother from a high-kill shelter. I understand her brother is also living in Western Florida and both now have excellent homes. The newsletter from the Henry County Humane Society is so wonderful to read each month to keep up with the adoptions and work that is being done to help all the adorable animals at the shelter. I will always be grateful to them for saving Emmie Grace for me and for all the wonderful work they do to benefit the rescued animals.
