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.
As one of the oldest charities in Atlanta, Georgia, we have been caring for our community and our animal friends for more than 150 years. We believe the relationship between humans and animals has deep significance, and we work together with animal advocates, volunteers, and community partners to save lives and instill compassion across the Atlanta Metro area.
We champion the bond between pets and people through comprehensive programs that provide safety, support, and second chances. Our shelter operations are guided by dedicated teams committed to every pet’s health and progress, ensuring each animal receives medical assessments, behavior evaluations, and necessary care. Whether through our physical shelter locations or our foster networks, we strive to create a more compassionate world for animals and the people who love them.
We believe every animal has a story, and we are committed to making sure your next chapter together is filled with health, love, and friendship. Our adoption process is designed to help you find the right fit for your family and lifestyle, with counselors available to answer your questions and support you even after you take your new friend home. We provide a healthy pet examination, vaccinations, and a microchip for all our animals to ensure your new journey starts on the right foot.
Are you ready to welcome a new best friend into your life? We invite you to view our adoptable dogs and cats online or visit one of our community centers to meet the animals currently waiting for their forever homes. Together, we can connect more homeless animals with the loving families they deserve.
