The Humane Society of Jackson County, located in Jefferson, Georgia, operates within the veterinary services field with activities centered on sheltering homeless animals and offering a low-cost spay/neuter program for qualified residents. Founded in 1998 by Jackson County native Marjorie Butler, the organization developed a volunteer-driven foster program to support animal rescue and obtained Department of Agriculture licensing by early 2007. In 2008, it expanded services to include a Courtesy Placement program to help families rehome pets and a Lost and Found program to facilitate pet reunifications. During economic downturns, the group has provided temporary pet food assistance to help keep animals with their families, and it engages the community through events, humane education, and a dog therapy group that visits nursing homes monthly. The organization continues to pursue the goal of opening a shelter in Jackson County, and in 2020 it received a $10,000 state grant to support its low-income spay/neuter program.
