60 Years of Compassion

Raising a puppy is an exciting journey, but it can also feel overwhelming. There’s so much to learn to help you and your furry friend thrive together. PAWS Atlanta is offering an expert-led workshop to help you navigate the joys and challenges of raising a puppy. We'll cover socialization, enrichment, setting up your environment, crate training, potty training, and more!

Do you want your employees to award you "World's Best Boss"? Schedule a PAWS to Play session to reduce stress at work and bring teams together. Enjoy adorable pups brought right to your office for an hour or two of belly rubs and smiles. Schedule yours today!

PAWS Atlanta offers Low-Cost Vaccine Clinics every other Sunday, beginning at 10:00 AM. These clinics used to be first-come, first-served, but beginning July 26, we will be scheduling appointments for our clinics. Clinics are held at our facility located at 5287 Covington Highway, Decatur, Georgia 30035. During your visit, you can also purchase discount preventatives for your pet - ask our team at check in.

As we celebrate six decades of lifesaving work, we’re inviting 60 compassionate supporters to join the Constant Companion Society. Your monthly gift provides steady, reliable care for the pets who need us most and helps us continue saying yes to animals in need.

Be part of this special moment and help protect the future for the next 60 years to come. Plus… the first 60 supporters to join will receive an exclusive anniversary keepsake to constantly remind you of your compassion for shelter pets.

For 60 years, PAWS Atlanta has stood as a beacon of compassion, a place where homeless cats and dogs have found safety, care, and ultimately, loving homes. This anniversary is both a celebration and a call to action. We express gratitude for the past six decades of impact, while inviting our community to join us in shaping the decades ahead. Every adoption story, every volunteer hour, every donation is part of a legacy that honors what has been achieved and safeguards what is yet to come. Together, we ensure that PAWS Atlanta remains a sanctuary where compassion endures, and where the future of every animal is protected. 

Looking for ways to get involved? Bring your coworkers, community group, or organization to PAWS Atlanta for a day of service. We're always in need of more helping hands. Ready to get down and dirty taking care of our animals? Sign up today!
