Atlanta shelters abound with adoptable pets in all shapes, sizes and personalities

July 19, 2017

Thinking about taking in a dedicated dog or fancy feline? We asked shelters across the city about the pups and kitties looking for forever homes. The little guys and gals tell a bit about themselves so you can see who’s a good match to add to your life. And see the photo gallery below for their pictures!

Amado
I’m a Chihuaua and I had a brain injury last year, but I have recovered and am ready for my very own family! I have some special needs, but I am worth it, I promise. Ask Angels Among Us Pet Rescue about me!

Buddy Boy
I’m a fantastic feline and I don’t let the fact that I’m FIV-positive get me down. My friends at FurKids have placed dozens of FIV-positive cats like me in great homes and I would love to join yours!

Cornelia Parker
I’m a 2-year-old treeing walker coonhound mix and I was rescued from animal control. I’m playful, pretty (if I do say so myself) and I love going hiking! Ask for me at FurKids.

Izzy
I’m a 3-year-old terrier/shepherd mix who is an Atlanta Humane Society newcomer. I’m a super sweet girl, I’m really good at walking on a leash and I will sit for treats!

Lego
I’m a 2.5-year-old pointer/retriever mix who was rescued from animal control and now lives at FurKids. I’m an energetic, affectionate boy and I love to go for walks with my stuffed lion!

Ms. Kisses
I’m an 8-month-old pitbull mix and yes, I love to give kisses! I also like to play and snuggle, and I’m good with kids. You can find me at Angels Among Us Pet Rescue.

Rommer
I’m a 5-year-old boy boy who’s short, stout and silly! I love hanging out with other dogs, playing with toys and occasionally playing fetch. You can find me at LifeLine Animal Project.

Squash
I’m a 1-year-old boy and I’ve been wanting a forever home since April. I’m affectionate and get along well with other cats. I am FIV-positive but the folks at Atlanta Humane Society say I will still live a long and happy life!

Zany
I’m a 3-year-old beagle boy and I love being around other dogs! I’ve been told I would make an excellent family dog and you can find me at the Atlanta Humane Society.
