The Sumter Humane Society, founded in 1984, is a dedicated non-profit organization in Americus, GA, focused on the care and rehabilitation of abandoned and neglected cats and dogs in Sumter County. With an emphasis on reducing overpopulation, the society successfully transfers hundreds of pets to rescue facilities each year and provides essential medical care to the animals in its charge. Governed by an all-volunteer board, the organization relies on donations and community support to sustain its operations, including a low-cost spay and neuter program that aims to prevent the influx of unwanted pets. Through various community initiatives and partnerships, the Sumter Humane Society serves as a beacon of hope for the many orphaned animals in the region. Generated from the website
