ABOUT US

MISSION

The mission of the Humane Society of Cobb County is to provide care, comfort, and compassion, in a no-kill environment, to homeless animals until they can be placed into loving, permanent homes. The Humane Society of Cobb County promotes humane welfare and responsible animal guardianship through educational community outreach and spay/neuter programs.

 

Who We Are and What We Do

The Humane Society of Cobb County is an independent, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) no-kill shelter and charitable humane animal welfare organization. We are not affiliated with Cobb County government, or any other local or national humane society or animal welfare organization, and we are funded primarily from donations.

 

Our volunteer-based, no-kill shelter provides assistance to animals and pet owners in Cobb County and surrounding areas. There are approximately 100 cats and a few dogs under our care at any given time, most of whom are available for adoption. We educate about humane and responsible animal guardianship through programs and community outreach and offer various resources to those in need. With the assistance of dedicated volunteers and generous supporters, our programs continue to make a positive difference in the lives of animals.

HISTORY

The Anna L. Haas Humane Society of Cobb County was founded in 1957 and initially operated (independently) from a small space within the Cobb County Animal Control facilities. Our goal at that time was to save as many animals as possible that were scheduled to be euthanized and place them under HSCC foster guardianship until they were adopted.

 

Because we did not have our own facility to house the animals we were working to save, we regularly transported them to remote sites to participate in adoption events. Our dedicated fosters and volunteers also worked diligently to find forever homes for these animals in between adoption events.

 

After receiving a generous bequest in the 1990s, the HSCC finally had the ability to purchase and renovate a property to house animals and facilitate adoptions. In 2014, we converted our no-kill shelter to a cage-free environment for our feline friends (with a few exceptions for special medical and dietary needs). We recently constructed a new animal housing facility on our small campus, enabling us to further improve the lives of the cats, dogs, and exotics who come under our care.

PARTNERS

Kennesaw Mountain Animal Hospital (KMAH) is a proud partner with the Humane Society of Cobb County. KMAH is a stress-free facility that provides a range of services for the animals under the HSCC’s care, including vaccinations, annual check-ups, surgeries, microchips, dental work, and prescription medications.

Founder Dr. Carrie Friedewald, along with Associate Veterinarians Dr. Melissa Roberts, Dr. Taryn McDonald, and Dr. Kate Kent, lead KMAH’s exceptional care team with superior knowledge, skill, and compassion. They run a successful facility that, in addition to a full range of veterinary services, also offers quality grooming services, day-play fun, innovative boarding experiences, and training programs. Their love of animals and desire to give back to the community they serve has been the catalyst for their partnership with the HSCC, wherein they generously provide a full spectrum of discounted veterinary services to ensure that the HSCC’s shelter animals receive the level of medical care and attention that all companion animals deserve.

Two HSCC cats are now permanent members of the KMAH Family. KMAH chose Quincy, their newest resident, after providing care for his congenital eye defect during his first two years at the HSCC; now his condition can be readily treated at his new forever home. They also adopted a black kitty, Frankie, from the HSCC, who thinks he owns the hospital. Quincy and Frankie now reside at KMAH’s new state-of-the-art facility with two other house kitties.

Kennesaw Mountain Animal Hospital is conveniently located at the corner of Kennesaw Due West Road and Stilesboro Rd.

The HSCC is grateful to partner with Daniel Lathrop, the owner and trainer of 10-41 K9, LLC, located in Acworth. 10-41 K9 is a Christ-centered and disabled veteran owned small business that trains dogs in obedience and manners and specializes in K9 detection. Daniel is also a certified handler with his narcotics and tracking K9 partner, Noble.

Dismayed by the overwhelming numbers of dogs in shelters, Daniel felt called to help. He generously donates his time and skills to work with the HSCC’s resident dogs and teach them how to be model canine citizens. Daniel’s gift helps ensure successful adoptions by giving dogs the skills they need to do well in a forever home. He guides our shelter dogs through basic obedience training, and when one is adopted, he provides three free in-home lessons where he works with the adopter and the dog together in education and training. This helps to strengthen the bond between the dog and his new family, and reinforces the dog’s prior lessons during the transition to home life.

Tim Glover, of Gloveman Media, is an important partner and contributor to the HSCC. He has shared his remarkable filmmaking talents with us to showcase the animals under our care and help them find their forever homes.

Tim started taking pictures and making films at a young age. As he describes it, “I’ve always been intrigued with images that have a mystery to them. I believe that when our eyes find the image there should be a question, a hint of the unknown. I want the viewer to look and not necessarily see the intentions, maybe they will look a little longer.”

The beginnings of his career in filmmaking began at the age of 10. His first efforts were in Super 8, and the subjects ranged from Vampires to Cowboys. By the age of 16, he was making 16mm short films. During this time, he worked a few summers with a commercial production company, and it was here that he developed an interest in commercial spot work. After that, he went on to work as a cameraman/editor for a local TV station. His next move was to a film equipment rental house, which gave him access to film equipment he could use to produce his own short films. During his eight years in that end of the business, he produced four short films with the help of an AFI grant.

During the past 29 years, Tim has worked as Director/DP on numerous projects for clients such as BellSouth, UPS, Dodge, Jefferson Pilot Insurance, Remington, Belk department stores, Ally Bank, Lowes Foods, and more. His awards include several Addys, an Emmy, a Promax Silver Medallion, and Telly awards.

Tim’s philosophy on his profession is to prepare as much as possible and have a good time and do great work.

The HSCC is proud to announce a partnership with Red Hare Brewing Company that is good for both organizations: It provides the HSCC support from a local business, and it furthers Red Hare’s involvement with community and a local animal shelter organization while promoting brand awareness.

Red Hare Brewing Company was founded in 2009 in Marietta by Roger Davis and Bobby Thomas. They started out brewing beer in Roger’s basement, and by 2011 they’d realized that this experiment had greater potential. They secured a larger space and upgraded their equipment, and on Labor Day weekend 2011, they opened their doors to the public under the Red Hare Brewing Company banner. Red Hare was one of the first micro-craft breweries in Georgia at the time and now has extended distribution across the Southeast.

Located in a 15,000-square-foot warehouse, Red Hare features a 40-barrel, three-vessel brewhouse. They make flagship beers and seasonal beers, as well as a line of family-friendly craft sodas, including a delicious root beer!

Red Hare’s family owned and operated facility hosts a variety of events year-round. Their Marietta taproom hours are Tuesday-Thursday 3-9pm, Friday 3-10pm, Saturday 12-10pm, and Sunday 12:30-7pm.

Red Hare Brewing Company is conveniently located on Delk Industrial Blvd. near the Mayfield Dairy plant:
