About the shelter
The Humane Society is for “those who cannot speak for themselves.”
Who we are
The Humane Society is a private non-profit organization that has been in operation since 1986. We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia as “The Humane Society of Camden County, Inc.”
The objective of the Humane Society is to assist in finding and placing in new homes specially selected owner surrendered animals; to encourage kindness to and consideration of animals through education of the public and any other ethical means.
We are a no-kill, selective admission shelter. We do not take in stray animals.
We are entirely local. We receive no government monies and have no affiliation with any national organization — not the Humane Society of the United States, the American Humane Society, PETA, or the ASPCA. Nor do we receive funding from any government entity. One hundred percent of your donation stays here and goes to the care of our animals and the operation of the shelter.

Richard S. Walsh, III, DVM
February 11, 1944 — June 22, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard S. Walsh III, DVM, on June 22, 2024. Rick, aka “Dr. Dawg,” was a dedicated and compassionate veterinarian, known for his pioneering role as the first resident veterinarian in Camden County, Georgia.
His commitment to animal care extended to his community, where, as a founding member of the Humane Society of Camden County, he left a lasting legacy. His expertise and dedication to veterinary medicine defined his career; he will be deeply missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Humane Society of Camden County.
