Southern Hope Humane Society is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to finding good, permanent homes for homeless shelter dogs and cats. Southern Hope became incorporated in March 1993 and was formerly known as Paulding Volunteer Animal Rescue. Southern Hope managed the Paulding County Animal Control adoption program for three years. In addition, Southern Hope managed Fulton County Animal Services for five years (March 2003- March 2008). During Southern Hope's management of the Fulton County Animal Services shelter, we dropped the euthanasia rate to one-third of what it was under previous management, worked with hundreds of rescue groups, educated the public about responsible pet ownership, implemented a high volume transport program to no-kill shelters, provided free heartworm treatment and issued over 5500 FREE spay/neuters to low income residents under our "Fix 'Em Free" program. In addition, all pets adopted from the Fulton shelter during our management were spay/neutered, vetted and microchipped prior to adoption.

Southern Hope currently operates a no-kill shelter in Roswell, GA located at 900 Mansell Road, Suite 23, Roswell, GA 30076, 770-641-1211 and an active foster home program.
