Zeus was seized from his home after being found living in overcrowded conditions with multiple dogs in a small space. His owners cared about their animals, but lacked the resources and education needed to provide proper care. At intake, Zeus weighed just 82 pounds and was suffering from a severe parasite infestation that over the counter treatments had not resolved.
Our Shelter Medicine Team provided the treatment, nutrition, and ongoing monitoring Zeus needed to recover safely. Our Foster Team quickly found a home where Zeus could recover comfortably. Over the following weeks, he steadily gained weight, regained his strength, and grew into a healthy dog weighing 110 pounds.
Today, Zeus is thriving in a loving home with a family ready to give him the care and stability he deserves.
Stories like Zeus’ are only possible because of the support of our community, whose generosity makes lifesaving care and second chances possible for animals who need us most.
Hector was transferred into our care because he was suffering from a leg fracture that required advanced medical treatment.
After thorough examinations and diagnostics with our Shelter Medicine Team, it was determined that the injury had already begun healing improperly, and amputating the leg would give Hector the best long term quality of life. Following surgery, Hector recovered in a foster home where he could stay comfortable and continue healing with individualized care and attention. Today, Hector is thriving in a loving, forever home.
It is only with the support of our community that we’re able to provide advanced medical care for animals like Hector and give shelter partners a place to turn when pets need more than basic treatment. Thank you for being part of that community.
Fin was just a few months old and weighed only 2 pounds when he was found alone in the middle of a road in downtown Atlanta. No siblings or mother were found nearby, and he was brought into our care to receive the support a growing kitten desperately needed.
Once safe with us, Fin was placed in a foster home where he slowly transformed from a frightened kitten into a trusting, affectionate cuddle bug. With patience, care, and time, he learned to feel safe and loved. Today, Fin is thriving in a home of his own.
Every meal, veterinary exam, and night in foster care that helped Fin reach his happy ending was made possible by supporters who believe every animal deserves a chance.

Bringing home a new pet is exciting, but a little prep goes a long way in helping them feel safe and settle in faster.
it’s a good idea to create a quiet, designated space where they can decompress. This area can include a comfortable bed, fresh water, and a few toys so they a place to relax and adjust during those first few days.
Secure loose cords, keep trash cans covered, and make sure toxic plants, cleaning supplies, medications, and small objects are safely out of reach. Think of it as baby-proofing, this is your new child after all!
If you’re introducing your new pet to other pets at home, it is very important to take things slowly. This allows your new pet to explore at their own pace while keeping initial interactions calm and supervised, while setting the stage for a positive relationship.
Your new pet may be nervous at first and could exhibit behaviors like hiding or whining. Keeping things low-key and avoiding overwhelming them with too many visitors can help ease the transition. Patience and understanding go a long way during this time.
Finally, make sure you have a veterinarian lined up and are familiar with local pet resources. Remedy Vet is operated by the Atlanta Humane Society and provides affordable veterinary services to pet owners in need by appointment only. Click here to learn more about Remedy.

It has been nearly one week since Darla was fitted for her leg braces, and she is already making wonderful progress. This step was an important part of her recovery plan, helping provide the support she needs as she continues to build strength and mobility.
Alongside her braces, Darla is staying consistent with her rehabilitation routine. She participates in water therapy to safely strengthen her muscles and continues working through her structured rehab plan.
A big step forward for Darla.
Darla had her brace fitting. While it will be a few weeks before her custom brace is ready, she will soon begin physical therapy to help her learn how to move more comfortably and build strength, including water treadmill sessions and hands on support, along with daily exercises to help stabilize her joints as she grows.
Darla’s front legs aren’t supporting her. We’ve made a commitment to do everything we can to help, but she needs you too. Right now, your gift will be 3X matched to support her care. We scheduled Darla an appointment with an orthopedic specialist, and this is where we learned the truth.
This wasn’t something she was born with… something happened to her. Both of her front legs have been damaged. The cause is still unclear, but it is likely due to malnutrition, neglect, trauma, or a combination of these. The pain she must have felt in her past is unimaginable. But your gift right now will be tripled to help Darla get the future she deserves.
Darla’s diagnosis means working with specialists. It means custom braces and physical therapy. But with your help, we will give her the support she’ll need every step of the way. Because she deserves the chance to stand, to walk, and to just be a puppy.
When you give right now, your gift will be tripled to help make this possible.
Right now, every gift for Darla is tripled and she needs help immediately. When first meeting 3 month old Darla, it becomes immediately clear that something is wrong with her front legs. She should be running freely like other puppies, but for Darla, just standing is a struggle.
Every movement takes effort. Every step is uncertain. And she’s learned to cope with discomfort and pain that no puppy should ever have to feel. But you can give her the chance at a healthy and happy future.
We’ve committed to being there for Darla every step of the way. Through every appointment, every adjustment, every small bit of progress.
But we can’t do it without you. When you give today, your gift will be tripled to provide second chances for animals like Darla.
