Atlanta Humane Society

If you’re thinking about adding a furry roommate who won’t pay rent but will steal your heart (and maybe your favorite spot on the couch), the **Atlanta Humane Society** is the place to be. I had the joy of adopting my beautiful fur baby here, and let me tell you, it was love at first sniff. First tip: older dogs are usually cheaper, so if you’re smart (or just want a calmer companion who doesn’t destroy your shoes), go for the seasoned pros. Puppies? Oh, they’re adorable little chaos machines… and they come with a “please empty your wallet” fee. Seriously, bring snacks for yourself too, they’re exhausting. 🐾 The staff and volunteers here are absolute legends. John, a volunteer, was beyond amazing, kind, patient, and clearly a dog whisperer. I’m convinced he’s part-dog because every animal immediately adored him. There was also a lovely young lady (I forgot her name, but I’ll post pics so she gets the proper love and recognition!) who was just as helpful, sweet, and made me feel like I wasn’t just another applicant. No rushing, no judgment, no “hurry up” vibes, just pure kindness, which is so appreciated. Bonus for military folks: show your ID and enjoy a discount **plus** a free leash, toy, and bag of food. Yes, free. No hidden fees, no fine print, just pure generosity. Honestly, the entire place is clean, organized, and full of love. You’ll leave with a full heart, a wagging tail, and maybe a few extra gray hairs from your new furry “boss,” but it’s completely worth it. Atlanta Humane Society isn’t just a shelter, it’s basically where happiness has paws and fur. Pictures included of John as well..

We got the perfect, well behaved, precious kitty from the Atlanta Humane Society. She is an angel! We loved that the Humane Society does a Foster First program, which gives you the option to foster a pet for 2 weeks before adoption. The staff was so accommodating, helpful and sweet!

I just adopted my new fur baby Franklin here yesterday and it was a fantastic experience! The staff is helpful and friendly, the process was efficient and most importantly the facility is clean and cozy for the pets! Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Adopt don’t shop!!!

As life has been lifing, I found myself needing someone to care for my grand dog as we had to make some suddenb life decisions. Giving away my grand dog wasn't an option as he is a very special part of our family. I reached out to an organization for resources and they referred me to the Atlanta Humane Society for a possible pet foster home through their Pet Support Crisis Program. I went to the website and completed an application with a brief synopsis of my situation and sent a picture. About two weeks later, we got the call that a foster parent was available. I was so happy to hear the news because (1) we weren't going to have to give him away, (2) he would be loved by someone else while he was away and (3) all of my worries about his vaccinations, checkups, groomed etc all went away because this program would take care of everything for me! Long story short, the three months that he was away wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. We emailed when we wanted to check on him and received fast replies back as well as pictures of him frolicking in the back yard with other dogs. He had a big smile on his face which made us even happier. On the day that we picked him up, I was so happy to see him. I cried allot and constantly thanked the employees at the AHS for having the Pet Support Crisis Program , and for the volunteer that kept our family member safe, healthy, and happy during a tragic time in our lives. I would highly recommend the AHS over and over again for this program as well as finding your next four legged dog or cat. Don't buy, adopt! Peace, love and hugs!

I contacted the AHS because I had to give up my cats after landlord said they were fine then after I settled in he changed his mind. I had 6 cats which the mom had been with me for over a year since a baby. She had 5 kitties which were so cute I refused to give any away. I had never been fund of cats until my Belle came along..I loved my babies. I cooked for them. I basically spoiled them. I requested that all 6 cats be adopted together. On the day of my appointment to take them in, it was a nice, clean environment. No smells. Attentive front desk guy. So I began to ask questions and one was they all will be adopted together right. It was then and there I was told probably not. One of my kitties were having anxiety on the way. I already had been crying so now I'm ready to turn out the door. Finding out they gave them a shot pissed me off. This was before I paid or signed any paperwork. I regret not taking my cats back and just dealing with the landlord..God never told me to get rid of my cats and I really wished i hadnt. I requested the twins, Macy and Gracy NOT BE SEPERATED. I goes online to see had they posted them. They never got posted as a family. Macy and Tiger and the momma Belle were the only ones posted. I seen whole families posted. They never attempted to post all my babies. Lightning and Goldie the 2 boys never got posted. I was VERY UPSET. I gave them specifics about my cats. Birthday and all. They POSTED SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I WAS LIVID. The only good thing was Tiger and Lightning got adopted together...this was April 7th, 2024... a day after my bday. I never even thought about righting a review. Some of us love our pets even though we may have to give them up. WE SHOULD NOT BE MISLED OR TOLD ANYTHING. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE UPFRONT. DOPING THE ANIMALS AND KEEPING THEM IN CAGES WAS ANOTHER NO FOR ME. MY CATS HAD BEEN IN A CAGE 3 TIMES AND THAT WAS WHEN RIDING. I EXPLAINED THAT TO THEM. I TOLD THEM I COOKED FOR MY CATS AND THEY LOVED TO EAT. IM PRETTY SURE NONE OF THIS WAS NOTED OR GIVING TO THE NEW OWNERS. THEY SUCK FOR THAT...

The staff is very nice. They let you walk around on your own and get to know the animals. Very nice facility, clean, not smelly at all. Easy adoption process plus if you care their animals come fixed and potty trained from my experience.

The staff was great, very friendly, and helpful. The facility was clean and well run. Of course the puppies were irresistible. This was our second adoption from the Atlanta Humane Society....they are definitely our go to organization. Will be back, I'm sure.

Great service, organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate. We bought three cats and we are loving our experience
