The Best Augusta, GA Dog Rescues & Shelters in 2026

Thomasville Humane

Thomasville Humane is a charitable organization committed to promoting the humane treatment of animals through a variety of means, including adoption programs, foster care programs, spay and neuter services, and community education projects with the long-term goal of eliminating unwarranted euthanasia.

bullpenrescue

Located in the green rolling hills of Northeast Georgia, The Bullpen provides assistance and sanctuary for giant breed dogs and other vulnerable companion animals. We believe that by integrating grassroots community education and outreach, coalition building, support for existing animal welfare efforts, and our own independent rescue operations, we can eliminate needless euthanasia and improve the overall health and well-being of our four-legged friends.

Hands to Paws Rescue

We are a grassroots organization that begin with incorporation in 2015. Organized initially by Kathryn Ellis with friends and family that were concerned about the animal situation in the CSRA. The group received initial Non-profit status in September 2016 and have been GA Dept of Agriculture licensed since 2016. We have NO PHYSICAL FACILITY as we are a foster home rescue! To this day the rescue continues to be an All-volunteer, non-paid Board of Directors. All activities are volunteer-based and the rescue is an All-donation (or grant) based funding rescue!

Project Freedom RIde

Providing a much-needed service to dogs in need is the driving force behind PFR. We are their trusted companions in this life-changing journey from danger to safety. We are 100% donation driven and make anywhere from 1 - 2 transport trips per month thanks to everyone's support.
