Animal Shelters in Decatur, GA
Decatur has seven listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in DeKalb County. About half are rescue organizations. Scottdale and Tucker, both within about three miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Decatur, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.
Decatur has seven listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
A mix of both, 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 Decatur listings all fall in DeKalb County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Scottdale, Tucker and Atlanta all have listings within about five miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and some 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.
