Our Testimonials

Happy Clients Say

I have been associated with HCAS as a volunteer since last year. I'm also the Education Coordinator for Animal Rescue Kare (ARK) in Hart County. The staff and volunteers at HCAS are committed to the health and welfare of the dogs we shelter.  The staff  is compassionate and caring .  I am proud to work with them and be a part of the shelter's evolution towards a new Animal Shelter in Hart County.

*Steven Thompson*

“I began volunteering at HCAS when they opened in 2022. I’ve been able to work for better animal welfare, grow as a person, and build relationships with other like-minded people. Volunteering has led me to wonderful dog foster opportunities and two personal adoptions of special needs dogs through the shelter, both of which have forever impacted my heart. I appreciate being part of the shelter and having the opportunity to be of service to our community.”

Welcome to Our Shelter Family! At Hart County Animal Shelter, our mission extends far beyond providing temporary housing for dogs in need. We’re here to offer a range of services that support both our four-legged friends and the community that cares for them. In this post, we’re taking a closer look at the vital services we provide and how they help make Hart County a better place for pets and people alike. Reuniting Lost Dogs One of our most heartwarming moments is when a lost dog is reunited with their family. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that lost pets are safely returned to their owners as quickly as possible. From scanning microchips to spreading the word in the community, we leave no stone unturned in bringing pets back home. Housing & Care Our shelter is more than just a holding space—it's a home away from home for dogs in need. We provide a clean, comfortable environment where dogs can rest, play, and receive the care they deserve while they await their forever families. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring each dog feels safe and loved during their stay. Rehoming Support Sometimes, life circumstances change, and pet owners may need to find a new home for their dog. We offer compassionate support to make this transition as smooth as possible. Our goal is to match dogs with the right families, ensuring they continue to receive the love and care they need. Spay & Neuter Referrals Preventing overpopulation is a key part of responsible pet ownership. We connect pet owners with affordable spay and neuter services, helping to reduce the number of homeless dogs in our community. By taking this proactive step, you’re not only helping your pet but also making a positive impact on the entire community. Community Education Education is at the heart of what we do. We believe that by informing and empowering the community, we can create a more compassionate environment for all animals. From workshops on responsible pet ownership to school programs, we’re committed to spreading knowledge that benefits both pets and people.
