About

Gwinnett Humane Society, Lawrenceville, GA

Gwinnett Humane Society is a non-profit, charitable organization founded in 1979. We strive to promote animal welfare, to prevent cruelty to animals, and to reduce pet overpopulation by: 

• Educating the public regarding the humane treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership
• Encouraging the spaying and neutering of companion animals
• Encouraging adoption of companion animals

Gwinnett Humane Society does not operate a shelter and receives no government funding; we rely solely on donations from individuals and companies to support our programs and on volunteers who donate their time and energy to carry out our mission. 

Each spring, Gwinnett Humane Society hosts PAWfest, a community awareness event that strives to educate the public on pet-related issues while celebrating the human-pet bond.

Here are some of the events included in last year's PAWfest: 

• Pet-related demonstrations, including agility and Frisbee demos by K9 Einstein
• Educational booths focused on pet health & safety, including feeding, training, grooming, and more
• Low-cost Rabies and Microchip clinic
• Pack Hike led around the Camp Creek Greenway by Atlanta's own, Angie Woods
• Our exciting Silent Auction and PAWfest Raffle
• Our popular Dog Contests and live entertainment, provided by the Amazing Mongooses
• Vendor and Pet Rescue booths
