Every year PAWS Atlanta adopts hundreds of great cats and dogs. Here are some updates on memorable pets that have been adopted from PAWS Atlanta.


I adopted Rico (dark shepherd, named Vinnie at shelter) from PAWS Atlanta just after Katrina hit New Orleans and tons of dogs were coming up from Mississippi. He was 5 months old when I got him and very sick with a kennel cough that took about a month to go away. But he has been a great success!!! His older brother Perry, the white shepherd mix, is also a rescue from downtown Atlanta. Thanks for all the great work you all do!!!

Oliver was adopted from PAWS Atlanta when she was a little kitten. She had an enlarged eye which was inoperable and had to be removed. The Parillas adopted her and know little Oliver is playing at home, sleeping in the laundry and watching television.
