The Carroll County Humane Society

A member of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce and a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to:

JANE AND BILL AT GENTLE PAWS

To our surprise, Jane and Bill donated half of the proceeds from their May 8 "Taste of Gentle Paws" event to CCHS and half to Second Chance Animal Rescue. Many thanks to them and to Lauren, Robin, Heather, and Billy - their helpers - for organizing a fun day. Pictured below are Claudia Ortega and Tracy Mills, who helped out at the CCHS table and gave the six shelter dogs and cats the chance to meet a lot of new fans at the event.


SARAH LANDMAN'S BAKE SALE

Sarah Landman held her 8th successful bake sale on April 3, 2010, to benefit CCHS and Carroll County's needy animals. She was joined by volunteers who had brought some animals from the county shelter for a special adoption day. Many thanks to Dottie Pittman and Horton's Book Store too for hosting.





BREMEN ACADEMY 4TH & 5TH GRADE STUDENTS


In the fall of 2009, the 4th and 5th grade students at Bremen Academy participated in an economics unit and were given the following assignment: to develop a product to sell, apply for a loan to make the product, and then market and sell the item. They then researched local charities to decide where to donate their proceeds. The Carroll County Humane Society is honored to have been chosen as a recipient and is very proud of the students and their achievement.

COLDWELL BANKER/FIRST REALTY IN VILLA RICA

Virginia Westlake and the folks at Coldwell Banker/First Reality in Villa Rica offered to sponsor CCHS at their semi-annual 50-family yard sale on September 13. The proceeds from the renting of yard sale spaces were donated to the Humane Society, and we were invited to have our own "white elephant" table as well as a refreshment booth as fund raisers. Thank you very much!


VILLA RICA GOLD RUSH VOLUNTEERS

Many thanks to Jo Ann and Peter Burns for bringing their beautiful therapy dogs, Pilot and C.W., and to Kim Ludeman from Kritter Korral for bringing her three pygmy goats, Nicole, Bailey and Oreo. In addition, to help us raise funds, Bark Avenue Pet Salon donated a free grooming/shampoo; Four Paws Resort donated a 2-night boarding for some lucky dog; Becky Mistretta donated a 5 x 7 pet portrait; and the West Georgia Spay/Neuter Clinic donated a free male cat neuter. Our special thanks for those great donations!



SARAH'S BAKE SALE

The University of West Georgia's Public History Department

We are very grateful for their support!



Anna Wolford and her friends

Anna recently had a birthday party and asked all her friends to donate to CCHS instead of giving her a gift. Anna's thoughtfulness resulted in a gift of $320 to the CCHS foster program. This money will be used to pay for medication, spay and neuter surgery, and vaccines for animals that CCHS rescues from the county shelter. Many thanks to Anna and her friends and a belated "Happy Birthday, Anna!"



Georgia Renaissance Festival 2007

The Georgia Renaissance Festival donated 500 VIP complimentary tickets to the Carroll County Humane Society to use as an extra incentive for people to make appointments to have their animals spayed and neutered at the new West Georgia Spay Neuter Clinic. This gift is valued at $8,475.

Bruster's Old-Fashioned Ice Cream & Yogurt

Bruster's at 1202 South Park Street in Carrollton adopted CCHS during the month of June 2004 - collecting donations from their customers and hosting a foster dog adoption night.


Wal-Mart of Villa Rica


Wal-Mart on Highway 61 has donated bonus grants to the Carroll County Humane Society for five years in a row.

The Warren P. and Ava F. Sewell Foundation

The Sewell Foundation has helped us immeasureably in our efforts to promote the spaying and neutering of companion animals to combat the problem of pet overpopulation. Thanks to their generosity, CCHS was able to initiate the Sewell Foundation Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Certificate Program in 1999 and to carry on the program till the present time.



PetSmart Corporation and the Douglasville and Newnan PetSmarts


PetSmart has provided the Society with many opportunities to raise money for our projects and programs. In addition, they offer space in their store on Sundays for CCHS foster animals to meet and often find a new home with caring individuals and families.


The Animal Jam Bands and Coordinators


The Humane Society is very grateful to the following bands who came together to plan and carry out the Animal Jam concert at the Corner Cafe on February 16, 2002: Dysfunktion Junktion, Axis II, and The Fiascos. We also thank Wal-Mart in Villa Rica for matching the amount of money that we collected at "The Jam".

Cathy Meigs


Cathy donated a handmade quilt and pillow shams with a dog and cat design for the Humane Society to raffle as a fund raiser in December 2001.



Molly Grizzard and Publix Supermarkets


The Society received a donation from Publix because Molly Grizzard, a young volunteer at the Shelter, chose The Carroll County Humane Society as the charity to receive matching funds in a contest she won.



The Zachariah Foundation


The Zachariah Foundation chose CCHS as one of the recipients of its fund-raising activities in 2000. Through their contribution, CCHS held a conference in May 2001 entitled FirstStrike. This educational program helped make local law enforcement and social service groups aware of the connection between animal abuse and child and domestic abuse.
