mission: The West Georgia SPCA started out as a group of volunteers at the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter in 2004 and we later became an independent non-profit corporation in April 2006 so we could continue to grow and meet the needs of the shelter and the community. We help homeless dogs, cat and rabbits get a second chance for a wonderful new life. We have a great relationship with the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter's staff and together we strive to create new programs to bring people and pets together. Over the last few years our volunteers and the county shelter staff have worked together to make great improvements which have drastically raised the adoption rate and lowered the euthanasia rate in Douglas County. By working together, the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter is now dramatically improved since the County took over shelter management in 2003. There is always room for improvement, though... Douglas County needs a modern, new animal shelter! -> The West Georgia SPCA started out as a group of volunteers at the Douglas County Animal Control Shelter in 2004 and we later became an independent non-profit corporation in April 2006 so we could continue to grow and meet the needs of the shelter and the community.
