Volunteering with PAWS Atlanta

Thanks to our supporters, PAWS Atlanta has met the need of thousands of animals for 50+ years.

A group of community volunteers founded our no-kill shelter in 1966, and that spirit of caring and unwavering commitment has continued to guide our organization throughout these many years. There are many rewarding ways to become involved with PAWS Atlanta.
