Georgia SPCA is a non-profit organization in Suwanee, Georgia dedicated to saving homeless cats and dogs. There are a lot of opportunities to volunteer and/or donate to this worthy organization. You can also adopt and save pets that are in their care. If you’re an animal lover but can’t or don’t want to commit to adopting, there’s always a need to foster pets.
The shelter statistics are very eye opening!
So before you consider paying or “buying” a cat or dog, PLEASE consider adopting or “rescuing” one. You might just find they will “save” you!
*The Georgia SPCA is a limited admission shelter, and has a “no-kill” policy. This means that we do not euthanize animals because we need the space or because they have “run out of time.” We save as many healthy and treatable animals as we can, and when we take an animal into our care, that animal remains at our shelter or in a foster home until the right permanent home is found. We euthanize ONLY when an animal is so aggressive that it cannot be handled safely or when a medical condition cannot be treated or we do not have the funds and cannot secure donations to cover the costs of medical treatment. In the rare instances when euthanization is necessary, the decision is made in consultation with our veterinarian, and the animal is euthanized humanely by a veterinarian.

At OMG! Carpet Cleaning we sincerely appreciate all the efforts made by the GASPCA and are happy to provide free carpet cleaning tips for new pet owners! One of the biggest mistakes pet owners make is using the wrong cleaner. The first thing you should to before you purchase a carpet spot cleaner is SHAKE IT UP. If you see it, feel it or hear it foam up, put it back. Soapy/foamy products cause most of the carpet problems we run into. If you’ve ever seen or had dark, discolored areas that keep “coming back” or getting larger, more than likely it’s from the spot cleaner.
