Great experience, very helpful staff. Their website says you need an appointment but that was not the case (I think it's old out of date possibly during covid). I just walked in and they pointed me in the right direction. Lots of great dogs ready to find a good home.

Just wish I could take them all home! Very clean facility and the animals seem to like it as well. Keep up the good work.

Questions & Answers

I am in 6th grade and I am doing a project for school we’re we have to do a community service. I want do something for you guys. What are some items that you need for the pets.

Carter Brickley | Oct 15, 2019
leona Paccione | Oct 15, 2019

Small toys for the kitties, plastic pans they can use for kitty litter (maybe 8" X 12"), small, used towels or blankets to make a soft place to lay on. Pups can also use soft things to lay on.

I have 2 male dogs, both a year old, not up to date on their shots, one is a pure shiz tzu and the other is part shiz tuz and part poodle. Would you be able to find them a good home? What would the "surrender" fee be?

Valerie McCord-Rutherford | Oct 14, 2020
Jennie lake | Oct 14, 2020

I suggest just calling them directly. I only stopped by to donate food. I'm sorry for this difficult decision you've had to make.

You can take him to Atlanta humane and surrender him. You may have to pay a small fee so that they can pay for his care but they will find him a good home.

I cant afford a vet visit as I'm disabled and on set income. Is there help for this sweet cat?

Amanda Montgomery | Oct 15, 2019
Lilian | Oct 15, 2019

I have used their services for vaccination, spaying and neutering cats in the past. It seems that by now you reach them better online, if you go to their website and check the link to the services which they offer. When they call you back you can explain your situation. There are other organizations that might be able to help. I don't know them personally but I think that they also can help : Paws Atlanta and Lifeline Project. The link to their website is available in Google maps and there might be other resources if you search online.

Do you get homeless dogs ? I have a dog in my neighborhood that's homeless and it's not afraid of people and will go up to your door.

Melina Ewald | Oct 15, 2019
Nancy M-R | Oct 15, 2019

I THINK they take in animals for adoption. They probably ask for a small donation to help with vacc and spay/neuter fees.

A few days ago, my fiance and I found a cat roaming our neighborhood, we gave it food water and it never left our house so we thought we'd take it in but it didn't get along with our other two cats and it peed on my head last night. Can I bring him?

Michele D.R | Oct 15, 2018

If a dog is adapted and does not work out for owner, can dog be returned?

Captain Dan Nable | Oct 15, 2017
Mary Francis | Oct 15, 2017

They told us 30 days and we could get a different dog if that did not work out. You can surrender the dog anytime back to them but you will lose your money. I agree with the others. It can take time to find the right one. Do research to see what breeds you might like.

AHS does not euthanize any animals. You would have to contact your veterinarian.

What physical or health assessments do you perform for dogs that you receive and post for adoption? How would you check and protect against Brucella canis?

The availibility of dogs are on the wrbsite. They are not able to hold/save dogs for you. Going to the location is the best idea cause you can actually purchase the dog you want.

If you dont want to go through an automated system, Go to the Atlanta Humane Society office and talk to them. They have rules and regulations about the adoptees they take in. They can also give you advice on where to take them if they cannot. They are very friendly and will give you good advice.

Sorry about a stranded animal. I hope that you found someone to help you rescue the animal. In a case like that I would call a critter removal company and explain to them to make sure not to harm the animal and to let you keep it. I say that you keep it because they kill any animal they take away, so explain that you are only asking them to remove it from wherever it is stuck.
