Michael is in urgent need of a foster home! He’s been waiting for his forever family at the shelter for far too long and could really use a break.

This sweet guy loves being outside and enjoys everything from exploration adventures to relaxed patio lunches!

He’s medium-energy, a total gentleman on outings, and great at meeting new people! While he’s not a fan of cats, he has excellent leash manners and enjoys meeting new doggy friends from a distance.

If you're able to give Michael a break from shelter life, please visit atlantahumane.org/help-pets-thrive! ❤️

When Bentley’s owner was diagnosed with cancer and had to be hospitalized, she thought she would have to surrender her beloved 10-year-old Boxer.

Thanks to our Pets in Crisis Support program, Bentley stayed in a foster home and received vital vet care from our team while his owner focused on getting well.

After three weeks apart, Bentley was back in his mom’s arms, exactly where he belonged. Because of the Pets in Crisis program, pets like Bentley don’t have to say goodbye to the people they love when life gets hard.

If you would like to get involved with this program, please visit atlantahumane.org/crisis-fostering

We need fosters now more than ever.

As our shelter faces an overwhelming number of animals in need, we’re asking for your help. Each animal that goes to a foster home not only receives the love and care they need, but also frees up vital space to save another life waiting to be rescued.

We’re incredibly grateful for our current fosters and hope to welcome more into our foster family. Make a lasting impact in an animal’s life today. Learn more about fostering here: atlantahumane.org/foster

This is Fleetwood, and she wants to be with you everywhere 🎶

A gentle, quiet soul, Fleetwood needs a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’ll never go her own way—she’ll stick by your side (especially if you offer her a tasty treat). If you’re patient and love a good binge-watching buddy, Fleetwood might just cause a landslide of love in your home❤️

: You can receive email or text notifications 📳 when your desired animal becomes available for adoption?

There are a couple different ways this works:

❤️ When you visit atlantahumane.org/dogs or atlantahumane.org/cats, you'll notice that some animals now say "Coming Soon" over their profile photo. These animals aren't quite ready to move home yet, but will be ready soon. You can complete the Pet Alert form on their profile to be notified when they are made available!

🐶 You can visit atlantahumane.org/first-to-know to view animals who have pending adoptions. See someone you're interested in? Then complete the Pet Alert form on their profile to be notified if that adoption doesn't work out and they become available again!

🐱 Don't see who you're looking for on our website? Complete our general Pet Alert form at atlantahumane.org/pet-alert to be notified when any pet with a certain breed or age become available!

Hey there Delilah, what it's like in your dream forever home? 🎶

For Delilah, it’s a quiet, cozy place where she can relax and take her time warming up. She dreams of a family that’s patient and kind, willing to give her the space she needs to feel safe. A soft spot by the window, some wet food, and her favorite fish toy are all this sweet girl needs to feel at home.

If your home sounds like Delilah’s dream, she’d love to meet you! atlantahumane.org/adopt-delilah
