The Humane Society of Northwest Georgia was founded in 1977 as the Dalton Humane Society, Inc. In 1988, the name changed to the Humane Society of Northwest Georgia, Inc. In 2006, property for our previous facility was leased from Dr. Charles Wade’s family. In October 2008, the Advisory Board was formed and in 2018, the Advisory Board was replaced by the current Board. In September 2019, we moved into our new facility.
To expedite the adoption process and to help us help you, please complete the on-line adoption application. You must fill out the application completely. One of our dedicated adoption team members will contact you only if you are approved. If you are unable to visit during our normal adoption hours we can schedule a time for you to visit. Pets are family members and we encourage the entire family to be a part of the adoption process. Children must be 12 years old or older to go into our dog kennel area, but we do have acquaintance rooms available for children to meet with specific dogs. If you currently have no pets please consider adopting two, a better adoption experience for you and them. Single pets also get lonely when you are away for several hours. If you are adopting a dog or puppy and currently have another dog please bring them for a meet and greet. Include them in the adoption selection process.
