Below is a listing of Atlanta Area Animal Shelters. There are many more not listed on this page and even more counties which do not even have an Animal Control unit or facility. The areas below contain links to the Animal Control webpages when they exist but also see www.petfinder.com b/c many of them have there animals listed there.
Every Shelter in our area kills over 100 dogs/cats a week. If you can handle it, go the shelter and volunteer. They need help with everything from working with the animals to screening adopters paperwork to taking pictures and putting them on a website. PLEASE HELP!
*Statical Data is for the year 2001
Some of these shelters may be a short road trip away but isn't it worth it when you are looking for the special dog or cat with which to spend your life? Map of Georgia Counties
