For 60 years, PAWS Atlanta has been a trusted no-kill shelter for pets in need and a steadfast partner to the people who love them. We provide daily care, medical support, and refuge for every animal in our care until they find their forever home, no matter how long it takes.
But PAWS Atlanta is more than a shelter. Through innovation, partnerships, and a deep commitment to our neighbors, we provide families with the resources they need to keep pets healthy, happy, and in their loving homes.
Looking ahead, PAWS Atlanta is building on six decades of impact with an ambitious vision for the future. By expanding access to veterinary services, strengthening community support, and creating tailored pathways to lasting placements, we strive for a world where no pet is at risk simply because help is out of reach. Guided by compassion, integrity, and the belief that every pet deserves a chance, PAWS Atlanta stands with pets and their people through every stage of life; saving lives, strengthening bonds, and shaping a community where every animal can thrive.
