I just recently adopted my new best friend, Goober - a shaggy and sweet Terrier, from Atlanta Pet Rescue and I thought I should share my experience so others in the Atlanta area will know about this hidden gem tucked away on 14th Street in midtown Atlanta. First, the facility itself is beautiful and most importantly clean. It is obvious that the staff and volunteers care deeply about their furry charges, making an extra effort to make sure their temporary homes are clean and comfortable. Both the dogs and cats are kept in cageless areas (not together of course!) and are allowed to play and romp with each other instead of being locked up in a cage all day. Secondly the staff and volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable and can tell you about each and every dog in great detail. Although the application and interview process is a bit intense, in the end it is worth it because you end up with the right match, which in my case would be my fabulous little Goober. All in all, my experience at Atlanta Pet Rescue was very pleasing and I would recommend it to anyone who is the market for a 4 legged companion!
Pros: cute dogs, clean facility, nice staff and volunteers
Cons: long application process
