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, help owners rehome 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.

Tragically, black cats and kittens are at risk on this particular holiday when they are all-too-often victimized by cruel people. Of course, animal abuse is always a risk faced by cats who are not kept inside, along with other risk factors.
Soon after Sweetie arrived we put out a plea for donations to help defray her medical costs and to contribute to a reward fund to help catch the person or people who injured her. We also announced that we were accepting applications for her adoption. Since that time, we have been overwhelmed and touched by the outpouring of concern and support for Sweetie. People as far away as California, Illinois, and Maryland have reached out to express their horror at this act of cruelty and to offer their help.
We now have enough donations to help with both Sweetie’s short-term and long-term medical costs. (See below for more information on her medical status.) As a result, we have established “Sweetie’s Fund” that will be used to fund not only hercare, but medical care for other pets who have been subject to abuse and/or have extraordinary medical needs.
For people who are interested in contributing to this fund, please look at the PayPal option shown at the bottom of this page ("Other Ways You Can Help") and note the purpose of your contribution. You can also send a check to PeachState Pet Partners, P.O. Box 1717, Demorest, Georgia 30535.
We were also very glad to learn that the Humane Society of the United States has announced a $2500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people who hurt Sweetie. We greatly appreciate HSUS’ help in bringing these criminals to justice.
Most importantly, we are very pleased to report that Sweetie continues to improve, with no sign of infection nor pneumonia that frequently accompanies burns of this nature. Our veterinarians believe that the scar tissue around her eyes may need to be addressed through surgery, but that such a procedure will have to be postponed until she is about one year old and no longer growing.
Now that she is feeling better, Sweetie has turned out to be a feisty and lively little girl! She loves playing with the staff of Alpharetta Animal Hospital and her foster mom, who visits her every day, and her favorite activity is to wrestle with a little toy mouse sent to her by a kind benefactor. She loves attention and we find it especially touching when she butts her little injured head against people's hands for some TLC.
We have had a number of people locally and around the country offer to adopt Sweetie, and are now considering the applications of several potential adopters who live in the metro Atlanta area. (We want her to stay close to our veterinarians.) 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!
Finally, we appreciate the interest and concern about Sweetie by members of the press, and media coverage has included coverage by Channel 46 (CBSAtlanta), the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and People Magazine's online pet publiction, PeoplePets.

Faith - A Very Special Dog!
The recent wet weather doesn't deter Faith, who was rescued from near starvation. Faith is quite fashion conscious and loves her bright yellow rain jacket! This very happy-go-lucky girl lost her sight in one eye because of prolonged food deprivation, but is doing very well now. She so much wants a forever home!

Adopting a Pet
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.
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 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.
