Amber, Dottie, and Thor were just puppies when they came to us, fighting for their lives. Sick with parvovirus, they needed intensive care to survive. Without urgent treatment, they would not have made it.

Our team didn’t give up, and because of donors like you, Amber, Dottie, and Thor are alive today. But the fight isn’t over. Right now, countless animals are in need of lifesaving care, and we can’t do it without you.

Every dollar you give for Giving Tuesday will be 4X matched, multiplying your impact and saving even more lives.

Time is running out. Donate now to make four times the difference for animals who need you.

Thanks to the compassionate support of our community, pets like Melody are receiving the care they need to recover and thrive.

When Melody arrived at Atlanta Humane, she was in desperate need of help. Painful mats, flea dirt, and sores covered her tiny body. With expert veterinary care and lots of love, Melody began her journey to recovery. Today, she is fully healed and thriving with her new family.

This Giving Tuesday, we raised over $100,000, making it possible to help Melody and countless other pets on their paths to brighter futures. Each contribution helps provide critical medical treatment, a safe haven, and the opportunity to find loving homes.

Melody’s story is just one of many, and the impact of this support will continue to change lives.

Melody was just a year old when she was found as a stray, her tiny body covered in painful mats, flea dirt, and sores. Her coat was so severely matted that our team had to sedate her to shave it all away. It was simply too painful otherwise.

​​​​​​This Giving Tuesday, your kindness will be 4x matched and it can make all the difference for animals like Melody. Your gift will provide urgent medical care, food, and love to pets in need, giving them the chance to heal and find loving homes.

Let’s make this Giving Tuesday a day of compassion and care. Together, we can transform lives—starting with Melody’s.

When Lizzie arrived at the Atlanta Humane Society, she was broken, both physically and emotionally. Her ear had been torn off, a painful reminder of her past. But thanks to the care and love she received, Lizzie is now a healed and happy pup with so much love to give.

While she may be missing an ear, Lizzie’s spirit is stronger than ever. She’s playful, joyful, and ready to find a forever family to share her love with.

Lizzie has come so far and we’re grateful for the support that made her transformation possible. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this amazing girl!

Over the past week, we invited our supporters to join a fun and meaningful challenge to help the most vulnerable animals in our care: puppies and kittens. Through this spirited fundraiser, Team Puppies and Team Kittens inspired incredible generosity from our community.

In the end, so many donations weren’t assigned to a specific team that we decided to celebrate everyone’s efforts with a party for all the puppies and kittens in our care.

Today’s celebration was packed with joy! The animals enjoyed treats, toys, and even had bacon-flavored edible bubbles! It was a heartwarming reminder of how much love and kindness our supporters bring to these sweet animals.

While this fundraiser was fun, it was about so much more. It was about coming together to provide the care, medical attention, and enrichment these animals need to thrive. Thank you to everyone who participated. Together, you helped us raise more than $5,000 for our most vulnerable animals! Your compassion is making a difference.
