MCDONOUGH — The Henry County Humane Society is seeking a new home as it was told in October that Henry County government needed the facility at 46 Work Camp Road.
According to a Wednesday press release, Henry County plans to repurpose the facility to expand Animal Control facilities and that the Humane Society would need to vacate the building by Feb. 1, 2024. The Humane Society was notified by the county manager’s office on Oct. 20.
