PeachState Pet Partners (formerly Pet Partners of Habersham), is a non-profit, federally tax-exempt charity whose purpose is the promotion of humane treatment of animals. We provide humane education, adoption, and foster home services for rescued or abandoned animals, and network with other rescue groups in an effort to find the best possible homes for the animals.
WE NEED RELIABLE VOLUNTEERS AND FOSTER HOMES!! TO INQUIRE ABOUT EITHER, PLEASE CALL: 706-776-3112.
We rescue animals at risk of euthanization at animal shelters, provide safe haven for abused and neglected pets, help owners re-home pets, and help people who have found abandoned animals, as long as we have available space. We also have a discount spay/neuter program available to anyone regardless of income, as long as funding is available.
Our organization is made up entirely of volunteers, and foster homes receive no compensation. We do collect a $150 adoption fee for dogs and $125 for cats to help defray the costs of veterinary test, rabies vaccination, micro-chipping and spaying/neutering.
We conduct our adoption events generally on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month at PETSMART, across from the Mall of Georgia, from 11:30 am - 4:00 pm. We begin adoptions at 11:30 am and end at 4:00 pm. We generally bring all of our available animals, but please call us at 706-776-1923 if you are interested in a particular one so that we can try to bring him or her that day. We also do many adoptions midweek with approved applications.

Sweetie Pie, the 8-week old kitten who was deliberately burned with an acid-like substance on Halloween, had a great day this weekend! On Saturday, two PSPP volunteers picked up Sweetie at Alpharetta Animal Hospital, where she has been recovering from her injuries. The AAH staff, who have become very fond of this brave little girl, all took time to bid a fond farewell. The volunteers, including Allison Wenum (responsible for bringing Sweetie into our rescue/adoption program), then drove to Woodstock, Georgia where TK Thornton and Kirsten Hagman were impatiently waiting for their newest family member. TK and Kirsten were among the many kind people who offered to adopt Sweetie after learning of her plight, and we decided that they and their three cats would offer a perfect home for this special kitty. Sweetie apparently thought so too, because within a minute or two of arriving at her new home, she began exploring, playing with new toys, and meeting her new human and kitty family members. She barely looked up when we left...she was simply having too much fun! Sweetie's experience, as horrible as it was, has shown us that there are a great number of compassionate people here in Georgia and all over the country who want to help animals victimized by abuse and neglect. We had |
people as far away as California, Maryland, and Illinois inquire about her, contribute funds for her care, and offer to adopt her. We are very grateful for this outpouring of support, and plan to use some of these donations to help pay for medical bills of other deserving animals in our care. We are also grateful that the Humane Society of the United States is offering a $2500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people who hurt Sweetie. Most importantly, we are thrilled that Sweetie has a second chance at life and will be loved and cherished for the rest of her days. Her injuries are healing very well and she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. She will always have a unique looking face, but those of us who have grown to know her think that she is beautiful! When we look at her little face, we see the love that has been offered to her by so many people. Perhaps the most recent donation that was given for her care is the most special. On Friday, a young girl and her mother stopped by Alpharetta Animal Hospital, and the little girl gave the clinic staff $10 that had been in her piggy bank, asking that it be used to help Sweetie. We don't know her name, but we decided to use that to help pay for the medicine that has gone with Sweetie to her new home. Thank you, Sweetheart, wherever you are! |
We do ask people interested in adopting a truly needy pet to be sure to take a look at some of our other wonderful special needs cats and dogs who are also waiting for forever homes. (Their postings are marked by a heart next to their names.) And of course, we hope ALL of our pets find good homes!

Thank you!
We're pleased to offer a "snapshot" of our pets which can easily be incorporated in any website. Can you, your business, or your organization help us find homes for our adoptable pets by including on your website the scroll-down list shown below? If so, please email us at pspp08@hemc.net to request the link for insertion in your site.
Thank you, Ty and Seema, for taking the time to get to know (and falling in love!) with some of our sweet adult foster kitties!
 Left to Right Molly is an adorable Beagle-English Bulldog sweetie whose owners fell on hard times and had to give her up. Molly is great with kids, cats and other cats, and would do well in a house and also in an apartment. Can you give her a second chance? Mr. Kibble is a lovely and lively Affenpinscher-Shih Tzu mix whose owners kept him in a crate almost all the time. Can you find room in your home and heart for this wonderful little guy? Sony is a lovely boxer who loves people and other dogs. Are you the lucky family for him? Speckles was a Spring puppy, and is growing up to be a lovely and calm dog. And he really likes kids! |

We want you to be happy with your new pet. To this end, we screen both pets and potential owners for a good match, and to avoid future problems with dogs and cats that aren't suitable for a particular adoption. Our animals are vaccinated and tested for common diseases. The adoption fee helps offset our costs associated with our veterinary expenses, including includes vaccinations, micro-chipping, and spaying/neutering procedures. Dogs must pass a basic temperament screening test, and we do not accept animals with a history of aggression towards humans. We make an effort to crate-train and house-break dogs whenever possible.
In order to make the adoption process as pleasurable and successful as possible, we do screen adoptive homes, and follow-up after adoption. Some of our dogs require fenced yards and most of our pets (dogs and cats) require home visits.
Please contact us directly at 706-776-1923 to learn more about any of our pets or to request an application. You can also e-mail us for more information. |
Volunteers Needed!We are always looking for volunteers for a variety of activities, and we especially need dedicated individuals and families who are willing to serve as foster homes. We are limited to the number of dogs and cats we can save based on how many foster home slots we have. Please consider this incredibly impactful way of helping homeless pets!We also need help at adoption days held at PETSMART near Mall of Georgia. We do adoptions from internet applications anytime we have an approved application. Please contact us for more information.e-mail
