A Plea for Paws: Help Secure Freedom for Our Superdogs

At the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society (NCHS), every day is about giving animals a second chance.

We partner with local shelters to reduce overcrowding and prevent euthanasia of adoptable pets. We operate a pet food pantry that helps families keep beloved pets during difficult times, provide rehoming assistance, offer veterinary financial aid, and coordinate a vast network of foster homes. Whether it's rescuing a litter of kittens from freezing temperatures or helping a senior dog find comfort and safety, NCHS is committed to being a lifeline for animals in need.

While we are primarily a foster-based rescue, we also operate Pokey's Place on Highway 29 North. This facility includes eight kennels and four exercise yards where dogs can safely stay while they wait for foster or forever homes.

Unfortunately, some of our current residents are extraordinary athletes.

Meet our "Superdogs" - determined, energetic pups capable of clearing a six-foot fence with ease. Because they can escape traditional play yards, they cannot safely enjoy the freedom and enrichment that other dogs receive. Instead, they require constant supervision and multiple daily leash walks. Finding specialized foster homes for these dogs is also incredibly difficult.

These dogs deserve the chance to run, play, stretch, and decompress safely.

To make that possible, we need to install fence extensions on our exercise yards.

Commercial fence-topper systems would solve the problem immediately, but the cost is beyond what our operating budget can handle. That's why we're reaching out to our community.

How You Can Help

💙 Make a Donation Every dollar helps us move closer to securing these yards and providing safer, more enriching spaces for our dogs.

Why It Matters

A secure play yard means:

✅ More exercise and enrichment for our dogs
✅ Less stress and kennel fatigue
✅ Improved behavior and adoptability
✅ Increased safety for dogs, volunteers, and staff
✅ Better quality of life while they wait for their forever homes

Every dog deserves a chance to run free, even if only within the safety of a rescue yard.

Together, we can turn our Superdogs' playground into a safe haven.
