About Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption (from the APRA Facebook page)

“Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption (APRA) is a nonprofit, volunteer-based, no-kill shelter dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and adopting homeless dogs and cats into loving homes. [APRA] saves dogs and cats from animal control facilities where they have a very low chance of survival.

Once rescued, these animals receive all the medical attention they need before being adopted into pre-screened homes. All dogs and cats are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites and spayed or neutered.

Aside from providing the basics of food, water and shelter, APRA creates an enriching environment with social interaction and mental stimulation. Dogs spend their days in communal pens outfitted with beds, blankets and toys. Doggie doors allow them access to the yard. Cats are comfortably housed in their own room with scratching posts, ledges, bedding and toys. Volunteers walk the dogs, provide affection and teach basic training. Fosters take animals requiring additional attention into their homes.”
