BENEFITING THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF MORGAN COUNTY MADISON, GA
Ready to save some animals?!
The Humane Society of Morgan County, in partnership with CM Bryson, is happy to announce its pet calendar for 2024.
Proceeds from the sale of the calendar and photo contest will assist HSMC with the more than 400 cats & dogs we care for every year.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your pets and ask your family and friends to vote for them.
Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win.
Fees for photo entries and votes will help the HSMC to save more animals’ lives by promoting adoptions of healthy, friendly companion animals obtained from overcrowded animal control facilities and owner surrenders.
The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that get the most votes.
The top vote getters will have their pet professionally photographed by CM Bryson for the 2024 calendar.
arf!
Since moving into our adoption center in 2014, the HSMC rescues more than 400 animals every year!
With a dedicated staff, caring volunteers, and the support of people like YOU, we hope to continue to improve the lives of animals.

PET WANTS - MADISON
Happy, healthy pets all starts with fresh, nutritious, high-quality pet food. Just like with humans, what your pets eat impacts every facet of their lives. At Pet Wants of Madison, our proprietary pet food is slow-cooked in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients once a month to ensure that every kibble is fresh and packed with nutrition. We also only source the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice, and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers, and no animal by-products and, since Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy, or dyes, the food is a great fit for pets with allergies.
