The Athens Area Humane Society rescues and protects companion animals by providing for their well-being, uniting them with loving homes, and advocating for a compassionate society.
This summer, we are offering 2 sets of week-long camps that will provide an opportunity for children to engage in experiences that teach and encourage empathy, responsibility, and furry companionship. These programs are designed to provide a unique blend of hands-on activities, educational workshops, and memorable experiences centered around animal welfare.
