Cobb County Animal Services

Best Friends in Atlanta is trying to change that by working with shelters, rescue organizations, and private citizens throughout Georgia and the Southeast to implement adoption, foster, and transport programs that will save the lives of dogs and cats.

The Homeless Pets Foundation uses social media, holds adoption events, and places animals in foster homes until forever homes can be found to save the lives of cats and dogs whose time at public shelters has run out.

Good Mews provides a no-kill, cage-free, restricted admission haven for homeless, abused, or abandoned cats until finding them permanent, loving homes in the Metro-Atlanta area as an alternative to conventional animal shelters.

In Marietta, Georgia, there is a pet adoption facility and education center run by the animal advocacy group Our Pal's Place.
