Welcome to the Home of Central Georgia CARES

AC-fountainThank You, AC Pup!

For 13 years, AC Pup served as the mascot for Central Georgia CARES in Macon, Georgia. He was the little boy found almost frozen as a four week old puppy. He was rescued and became the poster boy for animals everywhere! More information on his wonderful life is on his Facebook page.

While AC Pup is no longer with us, the work goes on, inspired by his wonderful story. Central Georgia CARES exists to help homeless animals and to promote spay and neuter so we have LESS animals ending up in a shelter. We also work to educate school children across our region on humane treatment of animals as well as the importance of spaying and neutering.

We also promote anti-cruelty so we can encourage everyone to be very kind to animals. One of AC’s big jobs was to promote CARES Homeless Pet Clubs. which have participated in adopting hundreds of pets. We would love to get your business, school or community club signed up with our Homeless Pet Club too. Please contact us to learn how you can be involved.
