Athenspets is an allvolunteer 501c3 organization dedicated to helping the most vulnerable animals in the Athens GA area and the people who love them. Athenspets started with a hope and a prayer that a group of dedicated volunteers some in person could make life a little better for the most vulnerable animals in the Athens Georgia area and the people who love them. Since the Athenspets website started in 2001 we have spent countless hours with the animals impounded at AthensClarke County Animal Services ACCAS providing exercise and socialization for them while learning about them in order to advertise them on social media and help them return home or match them with prospective adopters. With the transformation of the informal volunteer group into a 501c3 organization in 2015 we have raised funds and collected supplies to help with the extraordinary medical expenses of the shelter animals make the lives of the shelter animals better and help pets stay in good even if socially vulnerable homes through our Community SpayNeuter Program and innovative Community Interventions Program.
