About the Georgia SPCA (from the website)
“The Georgia SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is a 501c(3) non-profit pet rescue organization located in Suwanee, GA. Our Mission is to reduce the number of healthy cats and dogs euthanized in the state of Georgia by implementing successful adoption programs, offering low cost spay/neuter to the public, and by promoting responsible pet ownership.
As a no kill organization, all animals accepted by the Georgia SPCA are placed in our adoption center or foster homes until suitable forever homes can be found. Prior to adoption our pets are fully vetted, including vaccinations, disease testing, treatment for heartworms (if necessary), flea and tick and heartworm prevention, spay or neuter, and microchipping. A free 30-day pet health insurance policy is included with each adoption.”
