We're on the map!!

Planned PEThood of GA is excited to announce that we have signed a lease for our new clinic! We looked at several places over the past few months but we knew this one was right the minute we walked in! It requires very little renovation, just some new flooring and paint (and a little bit of plumbing), so we’re in the final stages!!

Our new address is

2860 Buford Highway
Building F, Suite 2
Duluth, GA 30096.

Here's a link to us on Google Maps.

We are thrilled to have so many friends who feel as strongly as we do about the cause! Your response to our last request for help resulted in significant donations. We are now within $5000 of our startup funding goal!

Everywhere we go we hear stories about how badly low cost spay/neuter is needed. Even when we speak to potential vendors for the clinic, almost every one tells us about a friend or family member who has a pet that needs to be spayed or neutered, but they can’t afford it. We are so proud to be able to provide this much needed service to the two AND four legged members of our community! This is truly a dream come true for Elizabeth and me.

People have been asking how they can help. Thank you for offering! Here’s how:

During our Renovations Phase, we need help with:
  • Flooring – we are doing a three part epoxy floor so we need strong people who can run a floor sander! This is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of May 29-30th
  • Plumbing – maybe you are (or know of) a plumber who is sympathetic to our cause? We are installing a couple of sinks and a laundry area.
  • Drywall repair – are you handy with a mudknife? We moved a couple of doorways and have other touchup work to be done.
  • PAINTING PARTY WEEKEND is tentatively slated for July 19-20th.
  • Refinishing our reception desk (sand and paint)
Maybe you’re not interested in physical labor but you still want to help? Can you help us out with finding donations of products or services that we need for renovations or that are necessary to the daily operations of the clinic? Some examples are listed below. We would appreciate either the items on those lists or gifts cards to purchase them.

  • Building supplies (Contact us for a full listing)
  • Office supplies (Contact us for a full listing)
  • Accounting Services
  • Marketing Services, brochure & flyer design and printing

We’re hoping some of you would like to volunteer after the clinic is open, and we’ll have information on that later. We’ll definitely need your help with things like answering phones, filing & office work, cleaning cages, and extra TLC for our patients!

Thanks again for all your support and for helping us to help the animals of Georgia! We're excited to start saving some lives!

See you soon!
Lynette
