PAWS ATLANTA INCORPORATED

Decatur, Georgia, 30035-2202 United States

Mission Statement

Our mission is to build a community of caring by people helping pets and pets helping people.

About This Cause

As an independent organization, PAWS Atlanta is Georgia's oldest no-kill animal shelter—finding homes for over 48,000 animals for over 55 years. Our no-kill philosophy is very simple. It means that we give all the animals in our care, the time, medical attention and behavioral training they need and deserve to thrive. At PAWS Atlanta, we believe that people and pets bring out the best in each other. Our mission is to build a community of caring, by people helping pets and pets helping people. In support of our mission, we offer services to the public such as pet adoptions, fostering, bi-monthly Vaccine Clinics, discount health preventatives, along with a pet food bank for owners going through hard times. PAWS Atlanta is governed by a board of directors and a small, but dedicated, staff cares for the pets in our free-roaming cat cottage, small and large dog area, isolation area for sick pets, and our animal intake areas. We also have a lovely 3.5 acre walking trail and off-leash area where you can get to know us and our pets a little better. PAWS Atlanta receives no funding from federal, state or county governments. The vital services we offer to the community are made possible by the thoughtful generosity of our supporters.
