I have been volunteering at The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia for almost three years, and it…read morehas been the most rewarding experience of my life. The staff are kind, friendly, and professional, and they truly show appreciation for our time. Those little gestures of gratitude and care mean so much and are often overlooked. The facility itself is incredibly clean, and the dogs and cats are clearly loved and exceptionally well cared for. The pups have great play areas to romp and burn off energy, and there is an excellent animal behaviorist who helps socialize the dogs and make them more adoptable. Having volunteered at another shelter in the past where appreciation was rarely expressed, the difference here is remarkable. This organization genuinely values both its animals and its volunteers. Please consider this amazing facility when looking to add a new family member, volunteer your time, or make a donation that truly makes a difference in the lives of these animals. Don't shop... ADOPT!

Had to do community service and was already looking to adopt a cat so why not do my community…read moreservice at the humane society right? Im already planning on going there to adopt, they have to be appreciative of people helping out. Here's the thing though , if you are doing community service they say you have to use a completely different kitchen AND PLACE TO EAT, you have to sit in the conference room, which would be fine if one manager Margaret (sweetest person ever and needs a raise a cause she was one of the few professional managers there Margarite is one of the main reasons why this is a 2.5 stars and not 0 stars) didn't already show me the employee and volunteer break room (I'm sure she didn't know how Danelle would react when I sat down as Danelle was laying down on the couch with the lights off and getting on to me for trying to sit down to take my break after working since 8am around 12pm. I understand if Danelle was maybe having a bad day if she wasn't also rude when I asked why the vending machine in there charged me $1.25 for a water and never gave it to me, she said the machine would refund me but still hasn't and then when I asked if they had any water and she told me (while we were still in the volunteer and worker break room cause that the only place the vending machine is) Danelle waited until I said thank you and opened the fridge in there and got one of the many waters to say , actually maybe you should get the waters from the community service fridge , with a rude tone . Overall it just felt like she treated everyone that came in for community service as less than /!: Danelle really made me want to cry the way she made me and the other girl doing it too feel less than just for trying to better ourselves, NOT TO MENTION I WAS PLANNING ON BROWSING AND ADOPTING BEFORE I EVEN GOT HERE. Danelle definitely ruined my experience as someone just trying to help out on one of their few days off, but Emma and Rilegh were really rude when I tried to see the cats after a LONG DAY of trying my best to be helpful with dishes, laundry, unloading packages , because when I tried to see the cats at all they said I couldn't pet them at all , not even a boop on the nose to let them know that they matter and see which cat I would be interested in cause I've been saving up for this exact moment . They kept looking me up and down and making me feel incredibly uncomfortable for having the audacity to be interested in seeing the cats and that just completely turned me off and was the last straw for me overall. the staff that were kind and I wish Danielle, Emma and Rilegh could learn from on how to treat people with kindness Especially on someone's first day, definetly includes Margarite, she was the kindest person there and super helpful , as well as this helpful girl with curly brown hair( poss Abby) and gold earrings and a guy with a blue beanie (poss Arman Atkins) along with most of the staff like the nice front desk ladies and definitely Kathleen was also kind . These animals deserve loving homes and treating other with kindness like these examples will definetly help them find homes faster , I just hope Danelle, Rilegh and Emma learn how to be kinder to others that work for them and see some sort of ramifications cause that rudeness should not be tolerated in a normal work space let alone one where I'm trying to come help on my day off

I had my first foster dog for a few months and she recently got adopted to a wonderful family. I can't tell you how cool it was to help a dog who literally was on death row at a local shelter to get healthy again and then to find a new home. AARF made it a really easy and rewarding experience to volunteer and they help wonderful animals find great homes. There are other rescue groups in Atlanta and they are all doing amazing work. I'm certainly not saying AARF is any better than any other rescue group because I haven't volunteered with any others but I am saying that the people at AARF rock and I really love working with them.

Thank you, AARF, for giving me the funnest, most affectionate animal I have ever met! I am a…read moresupporter of all animal rescue organizations, but the idea behind this one is special. Fostering an animal while it finds a home is one of the best things a person can do. Animals in tiny cages where they don't get room to run and play can get issues that can take years of training and care to treat. But, give a homeless animal a temporary home while you find a permanent one and it can learn from your other pets or just get used to what it is like to have a nice home. I am still training my dog on some basic lessons, but once she's ready to teach others, I plan to foster. Check their web site if you want to foster or need a pet yourself!

We were on vacation, and we received two photos of our Brandy playing with large and small dogs. They introduced her to others slowly to make sure all was alright. Our Pal's Place is by far #1 in our book for this area. Privately run and not a large corporate boarding facility. I cannot say enough. Thank you, Gigi and your staff.

We found a beautiful German Shepard mix today at the Dollar Store up the street. We could tell the…read moredog belonged to someone because the dog looked very well cared for (the dog looked to be at least 80 pounds or more) but its obvious he is lost. The poor guy kept going up to every car in the parking lot hoping he would bump into someone he knew. At one point he actually ran toward the main intersection and we actually had to run out to grab him. After a quick search on Google we found Our Pal's and decided to bring the lost dog here to see if we can find his owner. We talked to Gigi the owner who was so nice and helpful. She gave us the name of a vet down the street (Shallowford Animal Hospital) who could check to see if he is chipped. We could tell Gia cared about our lost dog and even gave us a really strong leash to use... Thanks to Our Pal's we were able to find the lost dog's owner. Thanks Gia and the staff here....you guys are an animal's best friend.
