The Future of PAWS Atlanta

Strategic Plan 2026-2030

Shaping a stronger, sustainable future for pets and their people.

For 60 years, PAWS Atlanta has been a trusted resource for pets and pet owners across Metro Atlanta. Since 1966, we have remained dedicated to creating a more compassionate community where every pet can thrive and every family has access to the resources they need to keep their beloved animals healthy and safe.

Our strategic priorities will guide us as we continue to advance our animal-centric shelter operations, expand community-based programs, and build the systems, relationships, and resources necessary to support more Metro Atlanta pets and their owners. Together, we will continue transforming lives, one pet and one family at a time.

Each year, we celebrate our lifesaving milestones and all they represent. Each pet saved and each family provided with the resources they need is a win for our community and our team. View PAWS Atlanta by the numbers in our annual impact reports below.
