PAWS Atlanta is one of the city’s largest animal adoption / animal awareness efforts. They offer pet adoption services, low-cost vaccinations, spay and neutering, discount health preventatives, behavioral training, dental services, a pet food bank, and educational classes and services for pet owners.

PAWS Atlanta is also solely funded by donations, grants, and fundraising efforts.

This past weekend, PAWS held special events to celebrate the Kitten Bowl; hosting a watch party for the Hallmark Channel’s event, and offering buy one get one free cat adoptions.  Last year, the event was a huge success, resulting in 200 kitten adoptions. This past Saturday and Sunday, Atlanta residents flocked to PAWS Atlanta’s Kitten Bowl viewing and kitten adoption drive from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If you are moving to Atlanta and you and your family love animals, consider volunteering for PAWS. If you have pets and could use assistance when it comes to taking care of their medical needs, don’t miss My Furry Valentine at CityDog Market on Valentine’s Day, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for free Heartworm Testing, microchipping, and Smooch-A-Pooch Kissing Booth.
