About this shelter

Stopping Pet Overpopulation Together in Acworth, GA

Stopping Pet Overpopulation Together (Georgia SPOT Society) is an animal shelter organization based in Acworth, Georgia, in Cobb County, about 25 miles southeast of Atlanta, where 15 other animal shelters and rescues also operate. Founded by a group of animal welfare advocates and established as a nonprofit in June 2001, it is run solely by volunteers. Its mission is to reduce the number of animals impounded and killed at Atlanta-area animal control facilities by funding and providing low- to no-cost spay/neuter services for pets of financially disadvantaged residents in metro Atlanta and underserved rural communities, alongside community education on responsible pet guardianship and pet identification. The organization champions an "Adopt, Don't Shop" philosophy, encouraging adoption from local rescue groups and county animal control shelters rather than purchasing pets.
