Atlanta is brimming with opportunities this summer for animal lovers to make a difference, thanks to a variety of upcoming pet adoption events. These events include waived adoption fees and most adoptions come with spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccinations, ensuring your new companion is healthy and ready for their forever home. If you’re in the market for a new best friend, we encourage you to read our previous blogs about how badly Atlanta shelters need adopters and volunteers, and why adoption is the best way to acquire a new pet.
The Impact of Pet Adoption
Adopting a pet from a shelter is a life-changing act for both the animal and the adopter. When you choose adoption, you’re saving a life and giving a deserving pet a second chance at happiness.
Adoption also helps break the cycle of pet overpopulation and reduces the demand for commercial breeding operations, which often involve inhumane conditions. Shelter pets are typically well-cared for, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated, making them a healthy and positive addition to your family.
Upcoming Adoption Events in Atlanta
LifeLine Animal Project is hosting free dog adoption Fridays at all three of their metro Atlanta shelter locations, making it easier than ever to find your new best friend. Other fun events include monthly “Leashes & Lattes” at Taproom Coffee in Kirkwood, adoption days at Petco locations in Sandy Springs and Edgewood, and themed gatherings like “Paws & Poses” puppy yoga classes, which combine wellness with the chance to meet adoptable pups..
In addition, the Atlanta Humane Society has a bunch of adoption and fundraising events listed on their Facebook page. They always have something for pet lovers to look forward to!
Support Atlanta’s Adoption Events
If you’re not currently looking to adopt, there are still countless ways to support Atlanta’s animal welfare community. Volunteering your time, whether it’s walking dogs, playing with cats, or assisting at adoption events makes a tangible difference in the lives of animals awaiting adoption. Even sharing information about adoption events on social media can help pets find loving homes by reaching a wider audience!
