Support Love
Double Impact
This Valentine’s Month, you can show love where it’s needed most, and make twice the impact for animals in need. Our generous supporters, Paul & Karen Kelly have offered to match every donation to Street Paws dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000. That means our community has the opportunity to raise $20,000 to improve the lives of the animals we serve. Just imagine the impact!

Important update
Street Paws has been asked to step in and help support the operations at Clayton County Humane Society. We are in the process of a merger where Street Paws will be the surviving entity.
Here’s how Supporters can help right now:🐾 Adopt or Foster
Opening your home saves lives and helps relieve pressure on both organizations during this transition.
We want to acknowledge Robin Rawls, who has given nearly 28 years of her life to Clayton Humane. She made the decision to retire for her own health and did so with the animals’ best interests at heart.
🤍 Donate
Supporting Street Paws right now helps us cover food, medical care, staffing, and operational costs as we stretch to meet increased needs. "See first comment on ways to donate."
🙌 Be a Positive Voice
Sharing posts, offering encouragement, and helping keep conversations respectful truly makes a difference. Transitions are fragile — kindness matters.
Thank you for standing with us as we take on this work — not because it’s easy, but because it’s needed.
With gratitude,
Kristi
Adoption Spotlights
Bruno Needs Us!
Bruno, a 9-month-old shepherd mix, was hit by a car and left without proper care—until the Clayton County Humane Society stepped in. After undergoing life-saving surgery to repair multiple leg fractures, Bruno is finally on the path to healing. We're a small but passionate rescue, and we need your help to cover the $5,500 vet bill—every donation makes a difference for animals like Bruno.
Athena’s Rescue Ride
Athena is available for adoption at the Clayton County Humane Society!

How you can help
CCHS is dedicated to improving animal welfare in a variety of ways. Our work is inspired by the support and commitment of our volunteers and community members who share our passion for animal rescue.
Adopt an Animal
We have wonderful cats and dogs eagerly awaiting adoption to suitable and loving homes. All of our animals are examined by a veterinarian, sterilized, microchipped, and receive appropriate vaccines. Additionally, dogs are tested for heartworms, and cats are tested for feline leukemia/aids. We do it all for you. After you adopt your new pet, you have nothing to do but love them, care for them, and allow them to be your best friend.
Become a benefactor
Your support is essential to the continued success of CCHS. As a 501 (c)(3) organization, every donation you make is tax-deductible and directly benefits the animals in our care. Your financial contributions help us to provide food, shelter, medical care, and other essential services to the animals, and ensure that we can continue rescuing animals in need. You can donate using the form below or learn more about
Volunteer
At CCHS, we depend on our volunteers to help us carry out our mission of rescuing animals and finding them loving homes. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, including volunteering at our shelter, participating in events, or working at our thrift store. Our volunteers are an integral part of our organization, and we couldn't do it without them!
