Jasper arrived at our doors fighting for his life… weak from parvovirus, parasites, and dehydration.

Right now, we need 63 additional Monthly Heroes to join our team of lifesavers. The steady generosity of our Monthly Heroes ensure that animals like Jasper can receive the immediate and intensive care needed to survive.

When you become a Monthly Hero today, your first 3 monthly gifts will be tripled to save even more lives.

Parvovirus is a cruel and relentless disease, especially for young puppies. It attacks their immune systems and can be fatal if not treated promptly and effectively.

Right now, puppies like Jasper are in desperate need of immediate medical care to give them a fighting chance at survival… and you can help provide that to them when you have your first 3 months of gifts triple matched.

It started with a police cruiser pulling up to our shelter, an unusual sight on a quiet afternoon. Inside was Jimmy Choo, a wiggly puppy, and his mom who had just arrived in Atlanta from Texas. The officers had met them outside the Gateway Center downtown, where they learned the pair was experiencing homelessness.

The officers did everything they could to help. They brought Jimmy Choo’s mom to a local shelter for young adults but sadly, pets weren’t allowed. That’s when they turned to us.

Thanks to our Pets In Crisis Support Program, we were able to step in.

Throughout it all, Jimmy Choo remained in our care until the day came to reunite them.

And when that day came? Jimmy Choo practically launched himself into his mom’s arms, tail wagging a mile a minute. We handed her a happy, healthy puppy, up to date on vaccines and ready for a fresh start, plus a bag of food and supplies to get them settled.

This story is one of many made possible by the kindhearted fosters and supporters behind our Pets In Crisis Support Program. They make sure no one has to choose between safety and staying with the pet they love.

Your First 3 Months Tripled to Save Lives

We need to fill 63 Monthly Hero spots to keep rescuing animals who are frightened, injured, and alone. When you become a Monthly Hero today, your first three monthly gifts will be tripled to save even more lives.

By providing stability, our Monthly Heroes make sure puppies like Scout, Harper, and Theo are never left behind. They were rescued from euthanasia and given critical care because of compassionate supporters who give every month.

Sign up today to become a Monthly Hero and have your first three gifts go three times as far. Animals are counting on you.

Colleen

By the Adoption Desk Interview Series

Colleen’s wishlist for the perfect home is short and simple: a calm environment, a gentle human, and another cat who can be her guide and partner-in-crime.

Q: What’s one thing people should know about you?
Colleen: I’m a cat who thrives with a friend. Another confident, friendly cat helps me feel safe and brings out my playful, curious side.

Q: Are you shy?
Colleen: At first, yes. I’ve learned the world can be a little overwhelming, so I take my time adjusting. But once I feel secure, you’ll find me quietly hanging out nearby, keeping you company.

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
Colleen: I’m a fan of cozy naps, gentle pets, and watching the day go by from a soft perch. I don’t need constant attention, just the comfort of knowing you and my feline friend are close.

Q: What’s your dream home?
Colleen: You + me + another cat. That’s all I need. Add in some patience and a few sunny windows, and I’ll be happy.

She is currently enjoying life in a calm foster home, but you can visit her profile to learn more and submit a pre-adoption application. Could your home be the “you + me + another cat” she’s been dreaming of?

Penny Blog

Details:

Position: Lifelong Best Friend
Location: Your home (preferably with a couch and a yard)
Department: Tug-of-War, Loyalty, and Laughs
Schedule: Full-time availability, with dedicated shifts for walks, couch naps, and cuddles

About the Role:

Penny, a fun-loving, affectionate pup with just the right balance of playful energy and lazy-day vibes, is officially hiring her forever person. She’s looking for a human who enjoys long walks, tug-of-war battles, shared snack breaks, and the occasional couch cuddle with a floor fan blasting like it’s a Beyoncé music video.

Key Responsibilities:

– Throw toys in the yard like you mean it
– Tug. Of. War. (And yes, she plays to win)
– Provide consistent access to a comfy couch for post-zoomie lounging
– Be patient with new introductions
– Accept paw taps when you stop petting too soon
– Cheer her on when she coots off the couch in full goofball mode
– Learn and grow together (she already knows sit, shake, and down… and now she’s ready to learn more!)

Ideal Candidate:

– Has a house (Penny prefers her zoomies not be apartment-contained)
– Adults or older kids only, please—especially ones fluent in “dog body language”
– Understands that new people = slow intros, not surprise parties
– Appreciates a dog who’s equal parts workout buddy and nap partner
– Thinks crate-trained, couch-scooting weirdos are the best kind of roommates
– Possibly has another dog with similar vibes (laid-back but fun)

Perks & Benefits:

– Free entertainment daily (see: goofy couch exits)
– Warm cuddles, wiggly greetings, and loyal companionship
– An incredibly rewarding bond with a dog who gives her whole heart
– Built-in accountability partner for those walks or runs you keep promising to take
– A paw when you need one (literally… she will offer it if you stop petting)

Apply Today:

Ready to bring Penny home? She’s accepting interviews now (aka meet-and-greets in person) and may even qualify for our Foster First Program so you can try life together before making it official.

Some pets only need foster care for a short time, while others spend months in the loving homes of their fosters. Demi has been waiting for her forever home for nearly 1,000 days, but thanks to her incredible foster family, her journey has been filled with love, comfort, and hope. Foster families like hers are the heartbeat of our mission, providing safe, loving homes that give animals the chance to heal, grow, and prepare for adoption.

Her amazing fosters have given her joy, care, and the stability she needed while she waits for her perfect match. For pets like Demi, fostering isn’t just a temporary stop, it’s the reason they can continue to thrive while searching for a forever family. Every walk, cuddle, and moment of love in foster care shapes their confidence, health, and happiness.

But none of this would be possible without fosters like you.

Fostering is more than opening your home, it’s a lifeline that bridges the gap between a pet’s past and their forever family. It means providing safety, comfort, and hope to animals who need it most.

You can make an impact like Demi’s fosters. Whether you can foster for a few weeks or a few months, your care changes lives. You give animals a chance to thrive while they wait for their perfect family and you gain the incredible reward of knowing you helped make that happen.

Here’s how you can help:
Become a foster parent. Give animals a loving temporary home that changes their future.
Share Demi’s story. Spread the word on social media and with friends and family.
Grow our foster community. Encourage others to join this life-changing program.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the time. Your kindness can make all the difference in the world.

Together, we can change lives, one foster at a time.

This week, Onyx came in for an appointment with our Shelter Medicine Team to check on the progress of his broken leg. Recheck x-rays are an important part of his recovery, helping our veterinarians monitor how well his bone is healing and guide the next steps in his treatment plan.

Onyx has a badly broken leg. Every step is painful. Every movement is an effort. He’s scared, exhausted, and hurting.

But today, your support will go 3x as far to provide the medical treatment, safe rest, and daily care animals like Onyx deserve.
​​​​​​
This sweet dog faces weeks of treatment and recovery before he can stand and walk without pain. Through it all, he will rely on the compassion of people who refuse to turn away.

Onyx’s recovery is more than just medical care. It is the quiet reassurance that he is safe. The commitment to see him through until he is whole again.

And with you by his side, he will never have to wonder if someone will fight for him.

Roo Square

When we first met Roo, she was doing everything she could to keep her puppies safe in the middle of a heartbreaking situation.

Now, because of the compassion of our community, Roo and her puppies are comfortable in a loving foster home. They have warm beds, nourishing food, and the medical care they desperately needed. For the first time in her life, Roo can truly relax knowing she and her puppies are safe.


Yesterday, we stepped into a heartbreaking scene in North Georgia. Thirty-two dogs were trapped in filth, scared, and facing unimaginable neglect.

​​​​​​Among them was Roo, a brave mother who was doing everything she could to protect her seven tiny puppies. She had nothing — no clean water, no safe place to rest — just her instincts and the will to keep her babies alive.

For a limited time, every gift is being triple-matched to help us provide the emergency care, medical treatment, and supplies animals like Roo and her babies need to survive.

​​​​​​They have been failed before. We cannot let it happen again.

​​​​​​When you give today, your gift will go 3x as far to help us continue caring for and nurturing animals like these. But the 3x match is only available for a limited time. Please give today.

Catoosa Rescue Hero

When fire tore their home apart, Ash’s family lost everything.

With your support, our Pets in Crisis Support Program can step in when families have nowhere else to turn. And today, your gift will be triple-matched to help 3x more pets be reunited with the families who love them.

Families facing house fires. Medical emergencies. Evictions. Displacement. All of them are fighting to hold onto the most important thing they have left: each other.

Your gift today will be triple-matched to provide:
– Safe, loving care for pets while their families recover
– Peace of mind for families who have lost so much
– A lifeline that keeps people and pets connected when they need it most

Please give today while your gift goes 3x as far to help 3x as many families stay whole.
