The Oconee Regional Humane Society (ORHS) was founded in January of 1999, when five Putnam County residents held a meeting to discuss the need for a local animal welfare group. The group began on a modest scale, finding homes for homeless animals and holding fundraising events to finance its efforts. From the very beginning, helping people who could not afford to have their pets spayed or neutered was a part of the group’s work.

Since those early days, ORHS has grown rapidly and currently has a 10-member board of directors, a growing group of active volunteers, and more than 300 individual and corporate members, most of whom reside in central Georgia. ORHS, which serves rural Greene and Putnam counties, has developed programs to tackle the most pressing needs of our community. Despite our growth and the scope of our services, we remain entirely volunteer-run, with no paid employees. ORHS receives no funding from local, state, or federal government and no financial support from national humane organizations such as the ASPCA or Humane Society of the United States. We depend entirely on private donations to continue our work.

The Oconee Regional Humane Society holds member meetings on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM at The Peoples Bank, 995 Greensboro Road, Eatonton, GA. Anyone interested in learning more about ORHS is welcome to attend. You can reach us by e-mail at [email protected].
