Our goal is to find the BEST homes for our pets and to make this an exciting and wonderful experience for you and your family. Therefore we have strict policies for adoption.
We work only on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore we do not hold or reserve pets. Any animal with a “NOT AVAILABLE” sign on its cage is not available. We will not accept applications on any animal until its status is “available.”
No person will be promised an adoption until the following procedures have been completed:
1. Full completion of an Adoption Application
2. Interview by PAWS Atlanta Adoption Counselor
3. Approval of your application for the specific animal that interests you
4. Completion of paperwork to assume ownership of the animal
5. Payment of adoption fee: $175 for dogs, $100 for cats (additional donations gratefully accepted). We accept cash and credit cards. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS.
Renters: you must show proof of approval to own a pet by providing PAWS Atlanta a copy of your lease including information on pet deposits and the name and phone number of your landlord or leasing agent.
If you understand and agree to the above, you are ready to fill out our Cat Adoption Application.
