The primary goal of the Thomaston-Upson County Humane Society, Inc. is to relieve suffering and to reduce the number of unwanted animals in Upson County. The Humane Society raises money to help local citizens who are not financially able to have their pets spayed or neutered. It also assists pet owners with special needs to obtain veterinary care for a sick cat or dog. Referrals can be made through a local veterinarian. A financial assistance form can also be downloaded from this site.

When you email us, please include a phone number.

The Humane Society meets the first Tuesday of each month, excluding January and July, at 6:30 p.m. at the Civic Center in the Arts & Crafts room. Everyone is welcome to attend. Donations are tax deductible and can be sent to P.O. Box 1152.

Animal Shelter Fire

Lightning hit the Upson County Animal Shelter late last night (January 3) and started a fire in the kitchen area that spread into the office.

The cat room was filled with smoke but all the dogs and cats are reported to be unharmed. Hopefully, none of the animals will have any health problems from smoke inhalation or fire-related stress.

Due to fire and smoke damage, no animals will be accepted at the shelter until further notice.

The pets in the newspaper ad will be available for adoption. Scroll down to view these animals.

If you have any questions, call the shelter at 706-647-5586.
