The Atlanta Humane Society is dedicated to giving animals hope and a second chance. We work to improve animal welfare in the southeastern United States by providing quality animal services, education, advocacy, and permanent, loving homes.
For more than 150 years, the Atlanta Humane Society has stood as a pillar of support for animals and people in our city. We believe the relationship between humans and animals has deep significance, and we invite our community to join us in a united front against cruelty, neglect, and displacement.
As a no-kill organization, we provide safety, shelter, and medical care for the cats and dogs who need it most at our facilities in Atlanta, Marietta, and Roswell. Our operations are powered by a compassionate team and an incredible network of foster families who provide a safe, temporary space for pets while they await their forever homes.
We believe every adoption is the beginning of a beautiful, lifelong partnership. Our dedicated adoption counselors are here to help you navigate our process, whether you are falling in love with a pet at one of our locations or meeting a new friend currently thriving in a foster home. We prioritize thoughtful matching to ensure our adopters feel confident and supported as they start this new journey.
Your new best friend is waiting to meet you. We invite you to view our adoptable animals online, explore our upcoming adoption events, or learn more about how you can get involved in our mission to create a more compassionate world for animals and the people who love them.
