Releash Atlanta is a 501c3, not for profit, 100% volunteer run, GA Department of Agriculture licensed charitable organization that works tirelessly to save dogs from high kill shelters throughout the state of Georgia. We receive pleas for help around the clock, 7 days a week for desperate dogs in need of help. These dogs are often loving, happy family pets that end up behind bars through no fault of their own. We dedicate our lives and resources to saving these souls. We operate 100% on the donations we receive from the public, and every penny of those donations go directly to the dogs in our care, or to the ones that soon will be. We have no paid employees and never will, so you can donate knowing your gift is going to save a life, not to a salary! Once dogs are in our care, they are immediately rushed to a vet to be thoroughly examined, vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and ultimately treated for whatever ailments they present with. Once they're healthy, they head to their foster home where they hang out with our awesome foster families until a loving forever home is found! We save all breeds from Yorkies and Shih Tzus, Pit Bulls and Doberman Pinscers to mutts large and small! If a dog is in need, we are here to help and do as much as we can with the resources we have. We stand ready to help the community find a companion that will thrive as a part of their family. We are here to assist them as well as our rescue partners in every way possible throughout the adoption process and will continue to be a resource after they have welcomed their new family member. We strive to make Atlanta a better place for our homeless pets, our rescue partners and shelters as well as all of the loving, adoptive homes out there! Please consider joining our team as a foster familiy!! WE NEED YOU!
The first step to adopting your new buddy is to apply for the dog you’re interested in by clicking “Adopt this dog” beside their name under the Adoptable Dogs tab, or by clicking on “forms” and filling out the adoption application you will find under “Adoption Forms”. Once your application is submitted, please allow 24-72 hours, depending on the day you submit it, for our approvals team to contact you. If you received an automated email after you submitted your application, we DID receive your app. If your adoption application is approved, your application will be sent to the foster of the dog you’re interested in. If you are already an approved adopter and you are interested in a dog of ours, please click the “forms” tab, and then fill out the three question form called “Already an approved adopter”. This will allow our approvals team to learn of your interest in a specific dog, and send your application along to his/her foster home. If you haven’t heard from the foster parent of the dog you’re interested in, please be patient with us. We are all volunteers and some of our dogs (luckily) get a lot of interest! It can be overwhelming for fosters at times, but they do their best to contact everyone in a timely manner! All of our dogs are adoptable for a fee of $350. Your dog will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for any ailments they had when they arrived in our care. The check and contract are due upon receiving your new family member!
