Georgia Shelters


Pets travel farther than you think! Good Samaritans often pick up lost pets and take them to the shelter that’s closest and most convenient for them. The shelters are run separately, so you'll need to contact each one. Pets are only kept for a mandatory hold period – often only several days. After that, if your dog doesn’t have a microchip that can be traced back to you, they are either put up for adoption and adopted (permanently) by someone, or they are euthanized. Searching your shelter within the first few days is critical! It's also important to continue to visit the shelter as often as possible. Pets may not be found until days or weeks after they went missing and may not turn up in the shelter immediately. 

How to use this guide:


  • Use the map below to identify counties that boarder the county where your pet was lost.
  • Then use the shelter list to find their location and contact information. 
  • For a list of licensed shelters and rescues, visit the Georgia Department of Agriculture

IMPORTANT: Always contact your shelter directly to verify their current location. Shelters sometimes move and will not always notify us of their new location. You can also use Google map search to pinpoint their locations on the map.
