Making a difference, working in local communities

Outreach is the heart of what we do. We believe that the vast majority of pet owners love their pets. We are honored to be able to work with owners to ensure that they have the resources to care for their companions to ensure long, healthy lives together.
At every event we host, we take the opportunity to build relationships with our clients. We believe the best way to change minds and hearts about issues like spay/neuter, tethering, and other care concerns is to meet our clients where they are - to respect them as people and community members, and to walk alongside them to serve their needs with their pets and to always be available with advice, support, and nonjudgmental assistance. We commit to our outreach communities over extended periods of time, returning on a regular basis, to help change the culture concerning pet ownership.
Outreach Communities
We currently serve communities in Gwinnett and Barrow Counties, through both low-cost vaccine clinics, outreach events, and access to subsidized spay/neuter services.
At our spring 2016 outreach event, we provided residents of Pine Valley mobile home park in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with free vaccines, free spay/neuter surgeries, free collars, leashes, dewormer, and pet food. At this one day event, and fifty dogs and nine cats received vaccines and other services, and we subsequently were able to spay and neuter twenty two of these pets. We continue to maintain relationships with the residents of Pine Valley and will return for another outreach event with free vaccines and spay/neuter services in November 2016.
We are also planning to launch an outreach in a Barrow County, Georgia, community within the next six months. In partnership with Barrow County Animal Control and Fix Georgia Pets, we are currently working on securing funding and identifying a target area to serve.

Low Cost Clinics
In order to reach underserved communities and raise funds for our free services, we hold periodic low-cost vaccine clinics.
Clinics have been held in Grayson, Georgia, in partnership with the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry, which serves southeast Gwinnett County with food and financial assistance; at Mt. Carmel UMC in Duluth, and at Barrow County Animal Control in Winder, Georgia.
We hope to expand future low-cost clinics into communities with limited access to these services.

Owner Support to Keep Pets with their Families
We believe that the best way to keep pets out of the shelter is to keep them in their homes. Often, simple assistance can make the difference between a family being able to keep their pet and having to surrender it - things like advice on behavior and training, flea and tick medication, spay neuter assistance, help with placement of unwanted litters, and accessible veterinary care. As part of our outreach mission, AAG can help with this assistance to keep families together.
