What We Do
At the Atlanta Humane Society, our mission extends far beyond shelter walls. We champion the bond between pets and people through comprehensive programs that provide safety, support, and second chances. From adoptions and field rescue to community outreach and lifesaving partnerships, each of our initiatives is designed to create a more compassionate world for animals and the people who love them.

Adoptions
We help pets and people find the right fit through programs like Foster First and American Heroes, with continued support after adoption.
