Come and join our Howl-O-Ween Festival even if you don’t have a dog! Our hope is that you will leave with a new best friend, or at least the start of your adoption plans through one of our Pet Rescues. There will be many onsite with lots of adoptable, sweet lovin’ dogs that need homes. Adoption is certainly not limited to those without a dog, we are all about multiple dog families… so everyone can come ready to meet your next best friend. A few of our onsite pet rescues includes:
- Ahimsa House: Ahimsa House, which is pronounced “uh-HIM-sah” and means “nonviolence” in Sanskrit, was founded in 2004 by Emily Christie after she lost a pet to domestic violence. Ahimsa House became Georgia’s first and only organization dedicated to helping the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together.
- Atlanta Rescue Dog Cafe: Atlanta Rescue Dog Cafe is a non-profit with a unique mission to contribute to the well-being of pets and people everywhere to improve human-animal interactions, reduce the incidence of animal cruelty, and relieve the strain on local animal shelters.
