We’re excited to announce that our new Marietta location will be home to a special partnership with Dogs for Better Lives!
Together, we’re bringing their From Shelter to Service Dog program to Marietta, which will give select Atlanta Humane dogs the opportunity to be trained as Service Dogs for people with disabilities.
Our new Marietta location offers a unique advantage to this program: a private and cozy on-site house.
This environment, combined with expert training and the support of dedicated foster volunteers, will allow these rescue dogs to have a second chance not just at finding a home, but at changing lives.
We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Dogs for Better Lives and give our shelter dogs an even greater purpose.
How It Works
Through this program, foster volunteers provide temporary homes for dogs while they undergo professional training during the day. In the evenings and on weekends, the dogs relax in a home environment, where fosters help reinforce their training.
Dogs that successfully complete the program are then matched with a client in need. As part of this process, foster volunteers will have the opportunity to virtually meet the dog’s new partner and hear firsthand how their future service dog will provide life-changing support.
It’s a powerful reminder of how fostering not only transforms a rescue dog’s life but also creates independence and security for someone who needs it most.
