Pet Partners of Habersham Inc.
Who We Are
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.
Most importantly, we rescue animals at risk of euthanization at animal shelters as long as we have available space.
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 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 also hold monthly adoption events at the Petco located at 2340 Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell. (Contact us for the specific date for the Roswell event.) 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.
Featured Puppies
Ashton (pictured here with Alexandria) and his brothers and sister were abandoned by a riverside near Dahlonega. It was a miracle that a gold panner happened to stumble across them. They are absolutely adorable; very smart and very playful. Click on Ashton's photograph to learn more about him, and be sure to read more about his siblings Arnie, Alex, Alexandra, and Alice under "our adoptable pets!"
Featured Dog
Zeus is a personable little Min-Pin who is both entertaining and affectionate! He gets along well with other dogs, but especially likes people. Be sure to click on his photo for more information on this great little dog.
Featured Kitten
Harley was all by himself at the shelter when our volunteer was there taking photos. She took his picture and a video...and then later couldn't stop herself from coming back to get him. Check him out (including his shelter video!) and think about taking this little sweetie home. He is just one of a number of kittens we have recently saved as we are entering what rescue groups call "kitten season." It's a hard time of year with many of these lovely kitties (and their moms) ending up in shelters. Please contact us if you are looking for a kitten...and don't forget about our wonderful adult cats who also deserve loving homes!
Featured Cat
Blue Belle is a lovely and affectionate Russian Blue mix who gave birth to 2 kittens (only one of which survived) 45 minutes after PPH rescued her from the shelter. She is a very generous and sweet girl, who adopted 4 other orphaned kittens in our program. The kittens have now been adopted or are in the process of being adopted, and Blue Belle needs her own loving home!
Featured Adoptions!
Harley and Mia were given up after the owner fell on hard times. They are adorable little shih tzu's, but had a few medical issues, and poor Harley has some bad skin problems due to untreated allergies. This didn't phase Joe and Debra Gates, of Tennessee who, along with their dog, Holly, welcomed these sweet dogs into their family.
Sweet but timid Kimmie was adopted from a county shelter 12 years ago...but PPH learned she was being returned this week because the owner's new husband "wasn't much of an animal person." Poor Kimmie had been badly neglected, and had several medical conditions including rotting teeth. 15 minutes before she was to leave for the shelter, Jennifer Lord and Kathy Carter, of Decatur, called and said they would adopt her. Kimmie will never again have to worry about being abandoned and finally has a "forever" home!

Adoption events are a great place to meet new friends, as this young pet lover found out when she met Emma, our sweet Golden Retriever mix, at a recent adoption event at the Roswell PETCO store. Perhaps this young lady was a good luck charm, because Emma was adopted by a great family shortly afterwards!

Adopting a Pet
We want you to be happy with your new pet. To this end, we screen both dogs and potential owners for a good match, and to avoid future problems with dogs that aren't suitable for 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, microchipping, and spaying/neutering procedures. Dogs are temperament tested, 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 animals require fenced yards and most require a home visit.
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!
PPH is 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 in Buford and at PETCO on Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell. Please contact us for more information.
Other Ways You Can Help
Operating a rescue organization is a very costly endeavor. Costs associated with the actual rescue activities, routine veterinary care and out-of-the-ordinary medical costs for special needs animals, food, heartworm and flea prevention medication, food, feeding bowls, leashes, collars, chew toys, cleaning supplies...and on and on!!...really add up.
We very gratefully accept financial donations and in-kind contributions to help support our efforts. Please mail contributions to the address below or drop them off at one of our adoption events.
Our wish list includes such items as quality-brand dog & cat food (dry & canned); Kong Toys & Stuffers; Dog Biscuits; Non-Edible Chew Toys (Nylabone or similar); Snap Collars (we like to give them new collars when they come in); Dog Beds – All Sizes; Squeaky Toys for Dogs; Clumpable/Scoopable Kitty Litter; Cat Toys;
Collapsible/folding Crates.
Please contact us is you are interested in donating any of these items. Thank you!!
