Atlanta Humane Society
Giving Animals a Second Chance
The Atlanta Humane Society is dedicated to improving animal welfare in the southeastern United States by providing quality animal services, including preventative initiatives, education, advocacy, and the adoption of animals into permanent, loving homes.
A Legacy of Compassion
For more than 150 years, we have stood as a pillar of support for animals and the people who love them in our community. We believe the relationship between humans and animals has deep significance, and we strive to create a more compassionate world by putting up a united front against cruelty, neglect, and displacement.
How We Care for Our Animals
As a no-kill shelter, we provide safety, medical care, and shelter for cats and dogs in need across our three metro Atlanta locations. Beyond our facilities, we utilize a robust foster network to provide loving, temporary environments for pets, while our Shelter Medicine Team ensures every animal receives a comprehensive health examination, behavior evaluation, and enrichment before they are ready to meet you.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adopting a new best friend is a joyful journey, and we are committed to making sure every match is a success. Whether your new family member is waiting at one of our locations or in a foster home, our team provides support every step of the way, from personalized introductions to post-adoption care resources. We even send you home with a starter pack of food and health guarantees to ensure your new companion starts their life with you on the right paw.
Join Our Mission
Are you ready to welcome a new companion into your life? We invite you to explore our adoptable animals online today to find your perfect match. You can also visit our locations to meet your future best friend in person or learn more about how you can volunteer to support Atlanta’s pets.
