2025 Impact Report
Last year, your compassion moved more than animals. It moved an entire community. From emergency rescues to joyful adoptions, your support in 2025 helped make neighborhoods near and far safer, more compassionate places for animals and the people who love them. With you by our side, we defended the defenseless, responded to crisis, and kept families whole.
Your Generosity in Action
Adoptions & Shelter Care
At Atlanta Humane, we care for every animal that walks through our doors. In 2025, 4,567 animals were adopted into loving homes, and 5,285 animals were sheltered and cared for when they needed us most. These efforts demonstrate our deep commitment to creating lasting change for animals in our community.
Medical & Behavioral Support
Our veterinary team treated 492 medical conditions and completed 149 specialized surgeries for the animals in our care. We also implemented 4,752 individualized enrichment and behavior plans, ensuring each animal received personalized support. In addition, we performed 5,934 free or low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for pet parents in our community.
Foster & Volunteer Support
A total of 1,997 animals were placed in foster care in 2025. This lifesaving effort was made possible by 643 active foster families who generously opened their homes and hearts. In addition, our dedicated volunteers contributed more than 75,000 hours of service, playing a vital role in helping animals heal, grow, and thrive.
Your Impact Across Atlanta and Beyond
Animal Protection
Our Animal Protection Unit supported 436 animals in situations involving cruelty, neglect, or natural disaster. In partnership with community agencies, we managed 406 cases to better serve vulnerable animals.
Pets in Crisis Support
Our Pets in Crisis Support Program provides temporary foster housing for up to 90 days to pets of families facing housing instability, domestic violence, or a health emergency, so they can be safely reunited with their loved ones. Through this program, 511 animals were supported during personal emergencies.
Food & Supplies
We provided 1,100,000 meals to 51,097 animals in an effort to help keep pets healthy, cared for, and at home. We also supplied resources to 106 community partners, including animal welfare partners and shelters across Georgia, expanding access to food and essential supplies across our community.
What’s Ahead in 2026
In 2026, with your continued support, Atlanta Humane Society will expand access to affordable veterinary care, increase temporary housing options for pets in crisis, and strengthen our impact across Georgia. Because of you, more animals and families will receive the care and compassion they deserve and together, we can reach even more in the year ahead.
