PAWS Atlanta

PAWS Atlanta is full of truly good people. Everyone I met there had such a kind heart and real love for the animals. Even though they have so many pets to care for, they still took the time to love on Buford a friendly, sweet, loveable stray cat who had been hanging around our office. It meant so much to see how gentle and caring they were with him and to know they’ll help him find the loving home he deserves. I’m so thankful for everything they do for animals like Buford. It really shows that they care. ❤️🐾

Wonderful place . We got the most beautiful puppy 1.5 years old, 100lb lap dog❤️. A bundle of joy. He is a handful that’s for sure.! The staff was over the top kind ,knowledgeable ,so very nice! It’s a very professional and just wonderful people. We said don’t big black dogs have it very hard in shelters so that’s what we’re looking for and they replied “every dog that’s adopted helps no matter.”

We had the best experience. Staff were very open and honest and helped us find our new family member. Our girl has been an absolute joy, and that is a testament to the loving care she received during her time at Paws!

I recommend Paws of Atlanta to get your furry friend. We got Charlie B. Barkin from there right before I was due to have my baby and he is the most sweetest loving and kind personality a dog could ever have. He loves our 4 month old and is always his by his side. We love our Charlie Bear. 💕🐶🐾

I have adopted 5 dogs from PAWS. The people at PAWS are the best and love the animals so much. For the first time, I am now fostering. The woman running the program is so kind, patient, and upbeat. Thank you to everyone at PAWS for all you do for the pets in your care. Amazing place!

I'm surprised I haven't already written a review! One year ago I came to PAWS looking for a companion on recommendation of my therapist and part of my treatment plan. The team was kind, patient, and happy to let us meet various dogs and think things over. I applaud them for also doing their best to match dogs to the correct family and their needs to permit both animal and person to match well! PAWS is a rescue willing to work with you without judgement and understand everyone's unique needs without having extreme bars that turn off adopters, I recommend them! In the future if I am looking to volunteer, foster, or adopt I'd come here! I recommend them all the time to folks lookin to adopt. Our first foster to adopt, Bean, is a fantastic dog but didn't work out as much as i wanted it to due to apartment living :( BUT it made me glad that I COULD foster to know that vs adopting and having a dog that wouldn't be as happy as he could be with me. However the gal that we took home only took 24hrs to be adopted by us because i couldn't imagine her going away. we still had to work through reactivity but she was much more manageable physically for me when she did have outbursts. Thanks to MarLee I've made such progress with her. Lady and the PAWS team have positively changed my life & my health providers agree that it's done me much good! Lady has given me a lease on life that I wouldn't have had just a year ago.

It’s been almost five years since Onyx came into our lives. Michele is wonderful because she found the perfect dog that is so loving. Thank you Michele and PAWS.

I reached out about my senior dog needing a wheelchair for his severe arthritis and they gave the steps needed to receive one through donation. It all came together within a couple of days and now my sweet boy is basically hot-wheels!! We couldn't be more happy or grateful! Not all heroes wear capes!
