Pup & Cat Co. was founded by a wonderful, loving and caring woman named Ursula Miller.  Originally organized as the Humane Society of Barrow County, Pup & Cat Co. has been rescuing dogs and cats for almost 15 years in a number of northeast Georgia counties including Barrow, Hall, Madison, Oglethorpe, Oconee, Clarke and Gwinnett.

We rescue cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from a variety of sources.  Many of our animals come from county shelters.  Others come from people giving up their pets because they cannot or will not care for them.  Some are rescued off the street where they have been abandoned.  At any given time, we have up to 100 dogs and cats in our system.  In addition to providing for basic needs such as food and vaccinations, we also rescue many animals who are sick or injured and need extensive veterinarian care.

Pup & Cat Co. has a rigorous spay and neuter program, thus our motto:

~Don't Litter! Spay and Neuter~

A spay and neuter program not only makes a substantial difference in the number of homeless animals, therefore reducing the number of animals euthanized; spay and neuter can extend the animal's life and well-being by preventing various types of cancer that occur frequently in unaltered males and females.  Pup & Cat Co. spays or neuters every animal before he or she is adopted out.

Pup & Cat Co. is a foster home organization, therefore the majority of our animals are placed in foster homes until they are adopted.  Many of our animals are available for adoption every Saturday of the month from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM at the PetSmart in Buford across from the Mall of Georgia.  Our cats are available for viewing 7-days-a-week at the Luv-a-Pet Center at PetSmart with adoptions, other than on adoption days, by appointment.  For information on any of our pets, or for a pre-adoption application please email us at dogcat@bellsouth.net.

All of our adoptable pets are listed on Petfinder.com or you are welcome to scroll through that same list on our web site by clicking the Our Pets links on the left side or bottom of this page (powered by Petfinder.com).  Please take a look at the biographies of these wonderful dogs and cats to see if they are "the right fit" for you!
