AHS efforts provide immediate and critical services such as sheltering for the unwanted, abandoned, abused, and injured on a regional scale. No. AHS, like more than 3,000 other humane shelters in this country, is a nonprofit, independent organization that takes in funds and helps to support local agencies and shelters. The Society has a contractual agreement with Fulton County to provide animal control services for Fulton County on a no profit basis. Support of the shelter and hospital at 981 Howell Mill Road, NW is provided by individual, corporate, and business gifts as well as by private foundations. The majority of our funding comes from individuals.
Funding is the form of cash, donations, gifts, bequests, trusts and endowments, and fees.
The AHS list is never sold or exchanged. Your gift is tax deductible within the limits of the law. The Society always recommends that you consult with your own financial advisor or tax consultant. They are helpless creatures dependent upon humans for their needs. The needs of the animals could not be met.
