Introduction to the Atlanta Humane Society

The Atlanta Humane Society is a no-kill shelter providing 120,000 direct points of care to animals each year through sheltering and adoption, veterinary care, and community outreach. We help find more than 5,000 animals loving homes each year. As one of the oldest charities in Atlanta, we have been caring for our community and her animals for 150 years.

We believe the relationship between humans and animals has deep significance, and we call on our city and each other to take action. Together, we put up a united front against cruelty, neglect, and displacement. With a heart to better lives, we connect homeless animals with good homes and neglected animals with safe spaces—uplifting our community by instilling compassion.

We’re proud to be able to work together with animal advocates, other animal welfare organizations, and our community partners to save lives.
