    Rocco

    This has to be the the best group of people ever. They are very caring. I adopted my dog from them and they did a thorough background check to be sure that the dog was going to a great home. They did a home check and everything. Unfortunately, a year and a half later I had to surrender my dog because my husband was recently diagnosed with adult onset asthma and we were told that he was highly allergic to dogs. He was having a hard time. I cried and cried when we had to give up my dog. ABR were very understanding and not judgmental. They helped us with the transition and assured me that my Rocco will be just fine and taken care of. Jenn and Meagan were so nice. It feel a little better to know that my dog is in the best hands.

    Jellybean and puppy Coal, both ABR alums.

    OMG, I am so glad I was led to be a Foster and care for those that are from homes that produce the need for this scrutiny.

After the exam, I was told straight up that my dog didn't need dental cleaning, so I could not book the service. I decided to purchase heartworm preventatives using their online pharmacy, but after EIGHT attempts in a month to get the medication, the order was rejected EVERY SINGLE TIME by their veterinarian. Each time the reason was that there was a prescription on file already so they could not approve an order request, but there WAS no prescription on file to begin with. All I can assume is that Pawproject wants my dog to get heartworm infection and die. I hate Pawproject and will report them to the Georgia Board of Veterinary Medicine. Don't go there.

    I adopted two dogs from this place. Both dogs were adopted out to me with undisclosed severe…read moreanxiety issues. They both were not fit for adoption. Atlanta Humane Society knew that the two dogs they adopted to me were both unfit for adoption. The first dog (Meagan) I took to my VCA Veterinarian and even he told me that Atlanta Humane Society should have never adopted her out. He told me that she has so much anxiety and is not too social with people. She is social with other dogs. So, I asked him if he would write a letter of recommendation stating that he finds her to have too much anxiety and isn't too social with people and that he doesn't recommend her being placed for adoption. He did write the letter and I gave Meagan back to Atlanta Humane Society along with that letter from my VCA Veterinarian. When she (Meagan) was in my care, she never ate and she never drank. Not even my own VCA veterinarian could get her to eat and drink. She would only pace back and forth when kept indoors. The other dog I adopted from them (Zairya) did not like being held. When I held her, she wanted me to immediately put her down. She would not come when I called her name, she would just only hide under chairs and under tables. Also, she would bark loudly like crazy whenever she was in a crate or left alone. She too would not eat or drink. This is why I returned her back to Atlanta Humane Society as well. Atlanta Humane Society never told me about either dog's severe anxiety issues and they knew that neither dog was fit for adoption. Yet, they still adopted them out. It is clear that Atlanta Humane Society doesn't care about remedying the anxiety issues of their dogs before adopting them out. It is completely shady and absurd to me that they (Atlanta Humane Society) would knowingly adopt out two dogs with severe anxiety issues and then expect the adopter who adopted them to keep them. Atlanta Humane Society is the reason why I have now lost all trust in all animal shelters and they're also the reason why they have now made it completely hard and difficult for me to ever adopt again. I WILL NEVER EVER adopt from Atlanta Humane Society (including all other animal shelters) ever again. I will never again deal with nor set foot in another animal shelter ever again after these two horrible adoption experiences. When I adopted both dogs, they were both adopted to me completely smelly and filthy. I had to take each dog to a local self serve dog wash immediately after leaving with each one due them smelling so horribly and being so filthy. Please keep in mind that if you adopt any cat, kitten, dog, or puppy from Atlanta Humane Society...they will be adopted out to you completely smelly and filthy. They don't bother taking the time to bathe any of their animals before adopting them out and sending them off to their new home. I don't recommend Atlanta Humane Society, if you must adopt a dog...I recommend going elsewhere. Atlanta Humane Society doesn't care who adopts their animals as long as they're able to pay their grossly outrageously high adoption fees. They rely on people to pay their high adoption fees to fill their pockets and wallets. Atlanta Humane Society has now made me hate all animal shelters.

Being sponsored by Mr. Blank gave me a little more assurance that mine would be well-cared- for during his stay. Pre-lim docs are sent via email prior to your appointment, to be reviewed and esigned, etc. Intake is also very well organized the morning of, with a volunteer lining us up neatly one by one in the parking area, for the extra volunteers to pick up your babies/exchange paperwork. Pickup is a little more crowd-based, everyone gathering in the lobby/seating area. A volunteer will come out to greet and brief parents on the pets' general state (post-procedure) and after-care required, with take-home paperwork provided as well. I will update again after my baby's recovery period is done, but so far so good!

She wasn't pushy like other places we had visited. Meagan really has a genuine love for her pups. We went in looking for a Poodle and ended up with a Maltipoo. My girls and especially my wife were in love at first sight. There was just a peace in knowing she was the one for us. After being in our family for several days now, that peace has been confirmed even more. Cali or Callie (we haven't decided on the spelling yet) is her name since we're from there. Lord bless Meagan's business. Thank you for everything. (John 3:16-21and verse 36.

I recently brought home two teacup Yorkshire Terriers, and I am absolutely in love with them. From the moment I picked them up, I could tell how much love and care had gone into raising them. One of them, Tiny, went straight to the pee wee pad when we got home--such a smart little guy! His older brother Titan loves to cuddle and falls asleep in my sisters arms when she hold him. Seeing how they behave really shows how well they're cared for and prepped before going to their forever homes. The experience was smooth, the environment was clean, and it's clear the team at Precious Petite Puppies truly cares about every single pup. I've attached some photos so you can see just how adorable they are! If you're even thinking about adding a furry friend to your life, definitely check them out!

    These people are doing a really tough job. Being an open intake shelter brings so many challenges…read morebut compared to the local open intake shelter in my original hometown of Miami-Dade County, Fulton County Animal Services is doing the best they can for the animals that end up in their facility. I was thinking of adding another dog to my little zoo at home and started surfing their website. I love how most of the dogs on their site have high quality pictures and some of them are even adorned with cute bandanas or accessories. This shows me that they truly care and are doing their best to show the dogs in a good light to improve their chances of finding their human. I saw several dogs of interest online that I easily saved to my favorites on the account I created. Then I went to the shelter a few days later to meet some of those dogs in person. When I got there, I checked in at the front where they explained where to go to see the dogs and how the process works. I looked at every dog there that day and narrowed it down to 2 candidates even though it was love at first sight with one of them. I knew Titan was the one but wanted to see both dogs out of their cages to be sure. Both dogs were beautiful but Titan was perfect for me. However, it was my existing dog, Rex, who had to have the final say. They suggested to me that I could do a trial adoption of 30 days to see if he is a good fit for my household, which was exactly what I needed to feel more secure about the decision to take him home without knowing if Rex would approve or how Titan would react to my cats. I am happy to report that Titan (now Kane) is officially in his forever home. He won Rex over and though the cats and my other older rescue dog are not thrilled about the new addition, Kane has been great about ignoring them and not causing any trouble. I had 30 days to decide but went online after about 4 days to pay the very reasonable adoption fee of $85 and finalize the adoption. Kane was neutered and microchipped before I picked him up. They gave him to me with a ziploc bag of the food he had been eating, a stuffed bear, antibiotics for the surgery recovery, some pills for a skin condition he has, one dose of his heartworm/tick/flea medication, and a who rescued who magnet for my car. I have adopted from shelters before and never received so many things with my dog, so that was a nice touch. The work they do at this shelter is heart wrenching. It is so hard to care for so many animals and even harder to find them quality homes where they will have a chance for a good life. I appreciate the entire staff at this facility and the hard work they put in to help the animals in their care. For the general public, I hope that you will spay and neuter your pets to help curb the overpopulation problem and that when you are ready to add a furbaby to your home that you adopt rather than shop because you will literally be saving a life. If you want to help but aren't sure if you can commit long term, consider fostering, trial adoptions, or even taking a dog out for the weekend only just to give it some relief. I encourage you to visit the shelter and meet some of the dogs in person. There are so many beautiful souls there that need you and you may just find that you need them too.

    I really wanted to have a positive experience at the Fulton County animal shelter, but I left…read morefeeling frustrated and confused. After signing in and walking around, I returned to the front desk to let them know I was interested in a dog named Rico. I was told to sit in the lobby, and despite there being plenty of staff members and volunteers around while I was the only person waiting, it still took over 20 minutes for someone to come help me meet the dog one on one. Once someone finally came out, I was handed paperwork and informed I wouldn't be able to pick Rico up until the 11th, which was completely fine with me. I was also interested in another dog and wanted to foster first to see how the dog would adjust in my home and how the behavior would be before committing to adoption. Instead of encouraging that, I received a surprising amount of pushback. Staff repeatedly tried to convince me to adopt immediately. I explained that I did not currently have a crate, which is why I asked about fostering and whether they could provide one temporarily. I was then told I could not foster the dog specifically because they believed I would end up adopting him anyway. That logic genuinely made no sense to me. Someone is standing in the shelter willing to take a dog home, give it a safe environment, spend time, money, and energy on it, and potentially adopt -- yet they were turned away over asking for a crate and wanting to foster first. At the end of the day, it left me questioning whether the priority is truly getting these dogs into loving homes. Potential adopters and fosters should feel supported, educated, and encouraged -- not discouraged.
