Do you like sharing information? What about spreading the word about an important mission? Help us get out in the community and increase awareness of our adoptable pets and shelter needs!
Events are sporadic throughout the week and month with no specific obligation requirement. All volunteers must complete the general volunteer training process (application, orientation, training) and will then have the ability to get involved with all of our volunteer roles.
APRA (Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption) has joined Best Friends Animal Society as Best Friends-Atlanta. The center will serve as a lifesaving hub for animals and also a base from which we can fill in gaps in local programming and build a coalition to help the metro-Atlanta area in its final push to no-kill. Best Friends already has centers in Los Angeles, New York and Utah. Now, with the joining of APRA, Best Friends-Atlanta can help strengthen the no-kill movement in the southeast as well. Together with quality animal welfare organizations throughout the country, we will bring no-kill to animals all across the nation. Together, we will Save Them All.
Thank you for giving us a warm welcome to Atlanta!

About Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption
Location:
4874 S ATLANTA RD SE, Atlanta, GA 30339, US
Mission Statement
Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption (APRA) is a non-profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs and cats so they can be adopted into safe and loving forever homes.
Description
Values
- Adoption: We rescue unwanted or mistreated animals so they have a second chance in loving forever homes that are the best fit for them. Unlike other rescues, we provide the medical care and enrichment/training to make our animals adoptable pets. Our goal is to match them with owners who will properly care for them for the remainder of their lives.
- Education: We educate the public about responsible pet ownership through counseling, presentations and seminars, and distribution of educational materials. Whether shelter visitors leave with a pet or not, they will leave with knowledge that makes them better pet owners.
- Responsibility: While we endeavor to reduce and hopefully someday end homelessness for dogs and cats in metro Atlanta, we conscientiously manage our adoption fees, donations and other funds to provide quality care for rescued animals and sustain our operations.
Programs
APRA provides a multifaceted enrichment program to ensure the maximum well-being of our animals so they are able to transition successfully to new, forever homes. Also, we give back to the community through outreach programs for area nursing home residents, at-risk youth, and injured soldiers transitioning to civilian life.
