Shelter Pets

Before committing to lifelong care of a pet, potential adopters are encouraged to consider the type of pet that best suits their family. Responsible pet owners provide appropriate food, water, shelter, and medical care as well as companionship, exercise, and a happy living environment.

Pet owners should also read and follow the Gwinnett County Animal Ordinances. 

For those interested in adopting or fostering a pet, simply complete the online Adoption/Foster Application to speed up the process when you arrive for your visit! Or, potential adopters can complete the application in person.

There are no holds for any animal at any time. Residents must be at least 18 years old to adopt. Remember to bring a leash, collar, or a cat carrier.
