The Atlanta Rescue list is a group of Atlanta area dog and cat rescuers who are actively working to reduce the number of dogs and cats killed in metro Atlanta area animal shelters.

This list is used in order to post information about dogs and cats in need of rescue at Atlanta area animal shelters and also to post messages about animals in Atlanta in dire need of rescue due to abuse, homelessness, etc. Postings may also be made if they are about a topic that directly relates to dog and cat rescuers in Atlanta. However, postings about animals that are outside of Atlanta or are out of state, national petitions and animals that are already safe in a rescue program should not be made.

Subscribers should live in the Atlanta vicinity and should want to become or already be involved in animal welfare or in animal rescue. This group is not for people who want to adopt a dog or cat. We suggest you contact a local shelter or rescue group if you would like to adopt a pet.
