Description

Join the Chamber as we celebrate with the Athens Area Humane Society at their new facility on Mitchell Bridge Rd!

This August, after more than 15 years in a converted daycare center on Mars Hill Road, AAHS will open Athens newest community pet destination. The new space—a 15,000 square-foot industrial building shell—will have a shelter for pets recuperating and available for adoption, and an affordable spay/neuter and wellness center. They will have space dedicated to being used as an education center for dog trainers, community cat caretakers, and public humane education workshops. “We are on a mission to change the perception of what an animal shelter is, we want the public to view the new facility as a community destination — a joyful, friendly place where the inextricable bond between people and pets is celebrated.” – Cheryl McCormick, CEO of Athens Are Humane Society
