G.A.C.A. was founded in June of 1987 by concerned Animal Control Personnel from across the state of Georgia.

The sole purpose was to form an organization in which animal control personnel - whether management, shelter worker, or field worker - would have a support system, informational center and training agency to address related needs of Georgia's animal control agencies.

Our goals are to:

• unify job titles
• mandate state certification for A.C.O.'s
• continual state-wide training
• maintain an informational center
• help standardize laws/ordinances
• identify salary disparities in situations where responsibilities are the same or similar
