After reading some of the other reviews, I'm not surprised. They need to be investigated. For sake and safety of animals, please share and spread the word not to bring animals to this shelter.

Really, SHAME on them for euthanizing healthy and loving animals!

We rescued our Frenchie (Brandy) at Our Pal's Place on Feb. 18, 2024. The entire staff was so…read morehelpful and so loving towards their rescues. They helped us and answered all our questions. Brandy is a perfect fit for us and so loving. We have boarded her twice at Our Pals Place and their attentiveness to our questions, or instructions on what our Brandy eats.

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.

Here are my initial observations: 1) The kitten and senior cat rooms are separate, and are well kept. 2) Yes they run freely, but within the confines of their respective rooms 3) They have a military discount for veterans. 4) They will adopt out furbabies with FIV, etc. I actually pet a small kitten and realized he had a neuro condition poor thing, but nothing was mentioned about it before entering the room. 5) the kitten room has plenty of space for the kitties but only comfortably accommodates 2 couples, especially when children are in tow. So plan your visit accordingly. 6) Public hours are on weekends today's having at least 5 friendly volunteers fit just sitting at the front office, so NO reason for them not to answer the phone - and YES, it's an unfortunate truth fur weekdays AND weekends. 7) Visit early to catch them in more interactive moods, where you can observe their truer personalities and 8) 6Lastly, but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, while we were properly greeted and briefed, let's just say there was definitely an initial double take and a few stares that lingered just a nanosecond too long (We're a mixed couple) IYKYK Overall, our experience was a mixed bag.

They were very careful to make sure that they were placing the dog in a safe home, and came out to inspect our property.

They saved he and his brothers and sisters from being put down after they were found by the DeKalb Animal Control in a dumpster at Perimeter Mall.

One of the things we liked most about Sarah's Pet Corner is that we didn't have to leave our puppy in a place where he'd be stuck in a tiny cage with little socialization and exercise.

You can tell that she genuinely has a passion for what she does. I know that Brewer had a blast while he was there....he was so tired when we picked him up that he cuddled up with me and slept on my lap for the very first time.

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.
