Keeping Pets Happy, Healthy, and Right Where They Belong—With Their Families.
Fannin County Barking Buddies is a dedicated, volunteer-run 501(c)3 non-profit keeping local pets happy, healthy, and in their homes. We support families across Fannin and surrounding counties by providing essential free services, including spay/neuter programs, vaccine clinics, microchipping, pet food, and wheat straw.
How We Help
We are not a rescue. Instead, we tackle pet overpopulation at the root and reduce the burden on local shelters by providing free spay/neuters, pet food, and microchips. Financial hardship shouldn't stand in the way of a pet living a safe, healthy life. By supporting families in Fannin County and surrounding communities, we ensure happy, healthy pets stay exactly where they belong—out of shelters and right inside the loving homes of the families who cherish them.
OUR FREE SERVICES
Free Spay & Neuter: Helping to reduce pet overpopulation and prevent unwanted litters.
Free Pet Food Pantry: Offering nutritional support to families facing tight budgets so no pet goes hungry.
Free Microchipping: Ensuring lost pets can quickly and safely reunite with their worried families.
Free Vaccine Clinics: Providing preventative care to keep local pets safe.
Free Wheat Straw: Providing essential outdoor insulation and comfort for local pets during colder months.
How You Can Support Our Mission
We operate entirely on the generosity of neighbors like you. Every single dollar and every single bag of food goes directly toward helping low-income families and reducing pet overpopulation in Fannin County and surrounding counties in Georgia and Tennessee.
Fill the Pet Food Pantry
No family should have to surrender their beloved pet because they hit a tight financial month. We accept physical donations to keep our community pet food pantry stocked and our outdoor animals safe.
Items we always need:
Dry dog and dry cat food (all brands welcome)
