SNIP Fund of The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia, Gainesville

The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia rescues healthy companion animals and then houses, feeds, and cares for them until they find forever homes. The shelter also provides basic wellness and medical services, including vaccinations and spay or neuter surgeries. As part of the shelter's efforts to reduce the homeless-pet population, it teamed up with local business Nuvo Visage to create the SNIP Fund. The fund works to ensure that low-income families can spay or neuter their cats and dogs for free, preventing any unwanted offspring and fostering lifelong companionship between pets and owners. In addition to hosting a yearly fundraiser, Nuvo Visage donates a portion of its profits to the SNIP Fund, and its founder helped create the application process that determines which candidates' pets receive the no-cost surgery.
