Veterinary partners

 

Animal Welfare and Enforcement currently maintains an annual contract with Planned PEThood of Georgia to provide all kennel veterinary services for the animals in our care. This care includes intake exams and evaluations, heartworm testing and treatment for canines, and combo testing and treatment for felines (upon adoption or rescue commitment), follow-up care as needed, and spay/neuter services for all animals prior to adoption or rescue. Additional partnerships with the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association, in conjunction with the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and other agencies, provides needed on-site medical attention as well as hands-on training for students in these programs. A partnership with the Veterinary Assistant Degree Program at Gwinnett Technical College also provides on-site training for their students.

We proudly partner with many veterinarian practices and clinics throughout Gwinnett to offer limited discounts for newly adopted pets. New pet parents can pick up a list of participating partners at the front counter.

Low cost spay/neuter and vaccine programs

Spaying or neutering animals helps reduce pet overpopulation and helps pets stay healthier. There are thousands of unwanted animals in Gwinnett that are not spayed or neutered that continue to reproduce, contributing to pet overpopulation. Be a responsible pet owner; have your pet spayed or neutered and maintain vaccinations each year. Please ask our staff if any programs for assistance are currently available.

We partner with several organizations for participation and community outreach at events, which offer low cost vaccination clinics. Call 770.339.3200 for information on upcoming clinics.

Rescue partners

Valuable partnerships with several Georgia licensed rescue organizations help to rehabilitate frail or injured shelter animals. These organizations also work diligently to assist in finding forever homes for many pets. For more information about rescue partnerships, please email AnimalRescue@GwinnettCounty.com.
