Court-Ordered Community Service

The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia is able to accommodate those seeking to fulfill court-ordered community service. Court-ordered community service volunteers are not permitted to work directly with the animals. However, the duties that they perform support the animals by keeping our facility and equipment clean and sanitary. Community service workers provide an invaluable service to the HSNEGA and keep our shelter running more efficiently.

See general information on Community Service workers at the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia below. Community Service workers must:

Provide court documents explaining convictions, including the parole officer’s name and number, and DOC number (if applicable)

  • Be 18 years or older
  • Be able to follow directions under staff supervision
  • Be forthcoming with the nature of their offense
