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
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
