Lake Oconee Humane Society

Giving Tuesday is Tuesday, December 3!

Early giving has begun for Giving Tuesday! The Lake Oconee Humane Society is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals and fostering a compassionate community this holiday season and year-round. We provide shelter, food, medical treatment, low-cost spay/neuter and support for animals in need, and we are working to educate the community about responsible pet ownership. 

Help us unlock a $5,000 match as part of early giving! 

Donate Today to Double Your Impact!

We cannot do what we do without the support of compassionate individuals like you! A donation to LOHS is an investment in three key community programs:

Community Food Bank 

LOHS partners with local food pantries and other charitable organizations to distribute pet food to those with limited financial resources so they can keep their pets in the home during difficult times. This reduces the number of pets relinquished to animal control or other area shelters. 

Will you consider a $50 donation today toward the community food bank needs to double the impact to $100?

Adoption and Outreach-- toward placing more companion animals in loving homes 

Will you consider a $75 donation to help more pets get adopted like Buddy to double the impact to $150 this Giving Tuesday?  

Low or No Cost Spay & Neuter/Community Cat Needs

We offer two spay and neuter options at little to no cost to support people facing financial challenges in the greater Lake Oconee area. Families like the Castillo family of Putnam County. They contacted us about options earlier this year but upon evaluation much of their 25-kitty colony was too sick for surgery. On a Sunday in early September, our cat manager, joined by several other LOHS volunteers including Dr. Duncan, a volunteer veterinarian made a house call. All the young kittens were experiencing eye infections and upper respiratory issues, several were in danger of losing sight and one was completely blind! The LOHS team assessed each cat and provided eye injections and medication to the entire colony. Dr. Duncan made follow up visits several times to continue to help these cats until they were strong enough to be spayed and neutered. It was heartwarming to be able to help the Castillo family not only control their cat colony but to also help them with additional care for these cats that they deeply cared about. LOHS people and programs make this work possible.    

Would you consider a $100 donation to spay and neuter programs to double the impact to $200 this Giving Tuesday? 

DONATE TODAY, AND YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED FOR DOUBLE THE IMPACT!  

Help us raise $15,000 this Giving Tuesday to unlock three $5,000 matches, providing $30,000 in generous support to these three programs.
