Atlanta Humane Society
The Atlanta Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. was founded in 1873 and is the city's oldest, private, not-for-profit animal welfare organization. Originally chartered to help women and children as well, the AHS now focuses its efforts on addressing the pet overpopulation problem and encouraging pet adoption in Georgia. Located on Howell Mill Road in Midtown Atlanta, the pet rescue and animal welfare organization offers the public numerous opportunities either to donate or get involved.
In addition to its pet adoption services, the Atlanta Humane Society pet rescue organization offers other programs and services, including fundraisers for our rescued pets, an expertly-staffed clinic, opportunities for volunteering, and year-round, community-wide events.

Adoption Process
Animal Care staff and Volunteers work with Adopters to select a pet. After making a selection, Adopters complete a preliminary questionnaire. (Applications may be completed online at Petango.com, too!) Finally, Adopters meet with an Adoption Counselor for an interview, to process payment and to complete all necessary paperwork.
Begin the Adoption Process
Please note: After submitting an adoption application, we recommend that you follow-up with the shelter to ensure they have received your adoption application from Petango. The shelter’s contact information can be found in the left hand column. Thank you.
