About The Etowah Valley Humane Society: EVHS began in 1994 as an adoption outlet for Bartow County Animal Control. In October of 2006, EVHS opened the doors of the new Shelter located at: 36 Ladds Mountain Road, in Cartersvil­le, Georgia. EVHS is a private, nonprofit 501( c) 3 corporatio­n, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Georgia. EVHS is not supported by any state or federal agency. EVHS derives operating funds primarily from adoption fees, donations, membership fees, and fundraisin­g events. Though EVHS has a paid staff, we rely heavily on the efforts of volunteers. The business and affairs of the Society are managed by a Board of Directors, the members of which serve without compensati­on.

EVHS exists for the purpose of preventing cruelty to, relieving the suffering of, and providing humane treatment for animals in need. It is also the Society’s function to determine, and then to eliminate, the causes of suffering through various means, including, but not limited to, legislatio­n and the general promotion of the humane ethic. EVHS acts as an educationa­l resource for the Community. - See more at: http:// www.etowahvall­eyhumane.org
