We've extended our MVP (Most Valuable Pet) Draft!
Starting today and running through Sunday, we're waiving adoption fees for all animals who have been with us for 30 days or longer. That’s right—your next loyal companion could be waiting, ready to join your team at no cost! See all eligible adoptables here atlantahumane.org/draft-your-mvp
Our triple match opportunity ends at midnight tonight, and the difference you can make for animals like Charlie is enormous.

Charlie’s story isn’t just about where he’s been—it’s about where he’s going. When he first came to us, he was barely hanging on. Emaciated, covered in matted fur, and too weak to stand, his condition was heartbreaking.
You only have a limited time left to triple your impact for Charlie and other animals in desperate need.
Don’t let this chance pass by—your support is urgently needed.
Visit the shelter to meet all these gorgeous purebred dogs ❤️ #atlantahumanesociety #adoptdontshop #shelterdog #fyp #dogs #atlanta #dogsofatlanta #petsofatlanta

Hera and her Warrior Puppies
We are thrilled to report that Hera and her warrior puppies are turning the corner and finally starting to test negative for parvo. Momma Hera is now eating and drinking on her own and has been cleared to move into a foster home.
But working to get Hera strong also meant bottle-feeding her babies for her. We are in critical need of more puppy formula, so we can continue to care for families like Hera's.
Please visit the Amazon Wish List linked below and help us care for the most vulnerable families.

There Was No Room for Hopper's Heart
At just 2 months old, this tiny kitten was already dealing with a severe medical defect. Her chest was caved in, pushing her heart to the left side, and the likelihood of her survival past kittenhood was low.
But with your triple-matched gift today, our Shelter Medicine Team can provide intensive care for Hopper and others just like her.
Please, give generously in honor of Giving Tuesday.

Specter's Journey
When we opened our doors at the Arthur M. Blank Family Animal Center last year, we knew the lives of Atlanta's animals would be changed forever. The facility was, in part, designed to minimize fear and stress in shelter animals, increase our ability to provide behavior enrichment and training, and grow our support of volunteer foster families.
For animals like Specter, these improvements are critical. And your gift right now will be triple-matched to support animals just like him for Giving Tuesday.
Since he first came into our care nearly a year ago, Specter has benefited from our dedicated Behavior Team's work to reduce his unwanted behaviors caused by overstimulation. And when our team determined that living in a foster home would be the best next step for him to learn about life with a family, he truly flourished.
Watch the heartwarming video where his foster mom shares the beautiful moments that showcase Specter's growth and joy. His improvement is a testament to the power of love and patience and he wouldn't be where he is at today without the help of our behavior team and his foster mom.
To view the full video and to donate, go to: www.atlantahumane.org/support
If you are looking for an affectionate pup who will make you his whole world, loves other dogs, and greets strangers like they are his best friend, meet Specter.

Give Penny Something to be Thankful For
Penny is thankful for second chances ❤️
We first met Penny almost two years ago when she was transferred into our care from a rural county shelter. In the months that followed, Penny made great strides towards becoming a more confident dog.
She came out of her shell and quickly became a staff and volunteer favorite due to her loving nature. We were so happy for her on the day that she got adopted, but then she came back into our care several months later. And then it happened again, with another adoption and return.
Since coming back into our care, it’s apparent that Penny has made several steps backwards. She’s incredibly fearful of most things and when we aren’t visiting her in her kennel, she jumps at loud noises, cowers in the corner, and struggles to walk outside.
She’s working with our dedicated Behavior Team to increase her confidence, but this sweet girl needs a patient adopter or foster caregiver who will continue working with her and understand her special needs.
Penny is sure to provide you with unconditional love. Can you do the same for her?

HAPPY HOUNDAWEEN!
Milly enjoyed a day of trick or treating at local businesses, but her favorite part was cuddling on the lawn.
It's spooky how loveable this girl is. Come meet her at the shelter and she'll haunt her way into your heart ❤️
Adopted Dog Brock Helps Community
Atlanta Humane has always been a special organization to Laura Aiken. Her father, Rick Aiken, was interim CEO from 2013 to 2014 and worked to help break up a dog fighting ring during his tenure.
So when Laura was ready to adopt a dog late last year, she knew where to go to find her new best friend. She immediately connected with Brock and knew he would fit her lifestyle well.
Watch this video to learn more about how Laura has been working with Brock to help improve the lives of people in her community. ❤️
