Dear Friends,

As we anticipate the upcoming holiday season, we often think of all of the wonderful things that the holidays include: time with families, wonderful food, gathering with friends, warmth, comfort, peace and love. As we also know, many in our communities do not get to experience these wonderful aspects of the holiday season. While I know our dog Ralph will be part of our family celebrations and will have his own gifts under our tree, many animals will not see that this year.

Let me share a story about one of the animals who came to Atlanta Humane Society recently: her name is Lizzie. She is a 2-year-old Beagle mix. She and her seven puppies, only a few weeks old, were picked up by county animal control outside of a home where they had been neglected by their owners. Once at AHS, Lizzie and her puppies were placed in a loving foster home. Initially, Lizzie and her pups where afraid to go inside as they had never been indoors. Once the puppies were old enough for adoption and Lizzie had recovered from the difficult process of heartworm treatments, they were all adopted into forever, loving homes.

With your help, Lizzie will be home for the holidays! Thankfully, the Atlanta Humane Society can be here for Lizzie and thousands like her every day of the year. To all of you who continue to remember us on a regular basis, THANK YOU! We can’t make these happy endings a reality without each and every one of you. May you have a wonderful and peaceful holiday season!

Gratefully,

Cal Morgan
President and CEO
