Animal Shelters in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta has 25 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. Most are rescue organizations. Tucker and Scottdale, both within about four miles, have listings of their own. Most of these animals are curled up in a volunteer's spare room right now, waiting for someone to come and meet them.
Atlanta has 25 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
Mostly rescue organizations, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The listings fall across DeKalb County and Fulton County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Tucker, Scottdale and Decatur all have listings within about five miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
