The Dolly Goodpuppy Society, Inc., is a nonprofit organization, based in Lamar County, Georgia. It is our mission to promote humane and character education for the children of our community, to promote responsible pet ownership, and create rewarding relationships between owners and their pets. The character traits that are developed from human education can have an impact far beyond caring for pets. We think it will build better, more involved citizens for our future.

Adopt A Classroom

Through our Adopt-a-Classroom program, individuals, civic groups, and businesses can provide K-6 schoolchildren with gift subscriptions to KIND News, an award-winning newpaper published by the National Association for Humane and Environmental Education. Kind News is age appropriate, addresses National Education standards and incorporates lessons in all major subject areas. Each monthly issues features articles, puzzles, projects, and many activities that make learning fun. It encourages good character development by emphasizing humane and character concepts such as respect, kindness to people and animals,, responsibility, good citizenship,and peaceful conflict resolution. A recent survey conducted by the Humane Society of the United States showed that nearly 85% of teachers think KIND News imporves their students' treatment of one another.
