What is PAWS Atlanta?

PAWS Atlanta is a humane society located in Decatur, Georgia, just 10 minutes east of Atlanta.

As a no kill shelter the cats and dogs in PAWS Atlanta's care stay there until they get adopted. Every pet adopted from PAWS Atlanta is spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, de wormed and microchipped.

The cats at PAWS Atlanta live in a cage free environment.

The dogs at PAWS Atlanta have inside and outside dog runs and a one acre wooded dog trail an off leash area.

In our 43rd year of operation PAWS Atlanta started operations as The Dekalb Humane Society. The name was changed in 2006 because of the incorrect perception that Dekalb County funded the organization.






In fact PAWS Atlanta has always operated on donations from the public, grants and fundraisers.



Most of the animals at PAWS Atlanta are picked up from local animal control offices. Unfortunately the supply is always greater than the demand and our cage space is rarely empty. Having said that PAWS Atlanta does adopt more than 1,000 animals a year. The sad fact of pet overpopulation dictates that regardless of how effective we are at finding them homes, there will always be more.



PAWS Atlanta does offer a vaccination clinic at least twice a month that is open to the public. This allows folks to get their pets vaccinated for $45 or to get a heartworm test or a la carte shots.




PAWS Atlanta can use help in a number of different ways.



Pass the word about one of our great cats or dogs to your circles of influence.

Attend one of our fundraisers. The next one is October 10, The Posh PAWty for PAWS Atlanta, hosted by Victoria Stilwell.



You can purchase tickets to The Posh PAWty here.

Volunteer. We need folks to get walk dogs, socialize dogs, clean cat litter trays, tape animals (then upload them to YouTube) and more.

Adopt. Get a shelter pet, that's an easy way to help...

Regardless of how you can help, or what you can do-THANKS!

Aida has been rescued, here is what we found

Aida is a georgous dog. Part German & Golden, very friendly, good with other dogs and all people.

After giving her a once over we discovered that she recently had an imbedded collar. The collar was removed prior to her being turned into PAWS Atlanta, but some scabbing had started to occur. She's doing well, just as happy as the day is long. Everybody is not meant to have a pet and it's better off that she was turned in to us.

She'll be available for adoption in late May.

The vaccination clinic is this Sunday, 1-3

Come early, sometimes the clinic can get very busy. All your dog
