How You Can Help

Your involvement ensures that the animals of Gwinnett County receive the advocacy and care they deserve.

Join Our Team

We’re always looking for community members who want to get involved and make a difference. There are many ways to help — from advocacy and outreach to documentation, data review, and behind-the-scenes support. No prior experience is required — just a willingness to contribute.

Participation is completely voluntary, and filling out the form does not obligate you to anything. It simply helps us connect you with opportunities that match your time, skills, and comfort level. Your information will be kept private and used only to coordinate advocacy efforts.

View Shelter Reports

Review the daily shelter reports published by the Animal Welfare & Enforcement Division, including intake numbers, animals placed, and euthanasia data.
These reports provide a snapshot of shelter activity and are an important tool for understanding trends, outcomes, and overall operations. Staying informed helps the community ask better questions and advocate for improved outcomes for animals.

Advocacy & Outreach

The Gwinnett Animal Advisory Council plays a critical role in shaping policies and decisions that impact animals in our county’s care. Meetings are held quarterly, and community members are encouraged to attend — either in person or virtually. Public comment is typically offered at the end of each meeting, giving you the opportunity to speak, share concerns, and advocate for change.

Your presence matters. Even if you choose not to speak, showing up helps ensure transparency, accountability, and better outcomes for the animals.
