Give the Gift of Life This Holiday

Puppy Atlanta animal shelters are overwhelmed. One area shelter had more than 40 owner surrenders on Saturday! And when shelters are full, the pets brought in by their owners are often euthanized the same day, because there is simply no space available.
Please consider giving a shelter pet the gift of life.
**Here's a gift idea that gives back! Sponsor an AARF pet in honor of a loved one through AARF's Paw Pals program!**

SHELTER SPOTLIGHT: LUKE


Luke
Luke is a handsome guy! He is well behaved and would be a great training partner. He is friendly and likes to play. He is 10 months old and weighs 60 lbs. He will require a fenced backyard. He has been vaccinated, heartworm tested, has had an initial flea/tick preventative, and will be spayed or neutered and microchipped upon adoption. Please email
SDCALDWELL@CHEROKEEGA.COM or call the shelter at 770-345-7270 opt. #2. Click here to learn more about Luke!

SHELTER SPOTLIGHT: ORANGE TABBY


Kitty
This cat is a nice, friendly male domestic short-hair who needs a name and a home. He is an orange tabby with white markings. Intake date: 10/01/2009. Lost and stray animals are held at DeKalb Animal Services for a five business day stray waiting period in order to give their owners a chance to reclaim. After that time period, adoptable animals are held only as long as space allows. Click here to find out more about this sweet kitty!

AARF PET SPOTLIGHT: WILSON


Wilson new
Wilson is about 2 years old and is as chill as chill can be. We think his mom was an Australian Shepherd mix and his dad was a Beagle mix of some kind. He loves to give kisses and hugs to his foster mom, and he gets along really well with other dogs. He probably will be best in a home without cats since he sometimes tends to chase them. He is eager to please and knows how to sit and raise his paw on command.
He is up to date on shots, microchipped, neutered, and housebroken. For more about wonderful Wilson, click here!

AARF PET SPOTLIGHT: NOLA


Nola
Nola was abandoned on the doorstep of Camp Kitty without a note or any identification. Luckily, she was taken in and given food, water and TLC.  Considering what she has been through, she is the sweetest and most trusting cat you will ever meet. She loves to snuggle and touch noses.   When left alone, she likes to sit on a high perch observing whatever is going on below. She would be the best to cuddle up with in the winter months. She is around 3 years old and is spayed, up-to-date on shots, and FIV/FeLV negative. Click here to find out more about Nola!
