About

This is the fostering effect. 💙 The dog staring at the wall in the shelter and the dog you see playing and enjoying life are the SAME dog. A temporary home gave her a safe place to land, decompress and finally show everyone who she really is. We desperately need more fosters right now. Angels Among Us is a foster-based rescue, which means every animal we save needs somewhere to go. When we don’t have that space, we have to say no to animals we could otherwise save. If you’ve thought about fostering but worried about the expense, we cover all approved veterinary care and can provide supplies if you need them. You provide a safe, loving place while they wait for their forever family. And when your foster is adopted, you’ve made room for us to save another. Fosters must live in the Greater Atlanta area. Want to learn more or ready to help? Call or text our Foster Hotline at 770-835-5844. Be part of #TheFosteringEffect

Tucker Thomas, Ted Mosby, Pennington, Beetle Bug, Kalina, & Jackie Pupperton hope to see you at our adoption event at Hollywood Feed , Saturday, August 15th from 12-4pm! We may be inside if it’s too hot, so come say hi! 3000 Old Alabama Road Alpharetta, GA 30022

A foster home gave this mama the chance to rest, care for her babies, and watch them grow in safety. Today, every puppy is adopted and loved because someone said yes. We’re always in need of fosters for mama dogs and their babies. Could you help the next little family? #FosteringSavesLives #AtlantaFoster

Astro’s school pictures are in. Now he just needs a family to put one on the fridge. This adoptable puppy is looking for a home of his own. Could it be yours? And if this photo brought back memories, come make some new ones at our ’90s-themed Fast and the Furriest 5K! Join us October 18 at Webb Bridge Park in Alpharetta to run or walk and help dogs and cats like Astro. Registration prices increase October 11, so grab your spot before they go up! 👟 #alpharetta #jrtofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #angelsrescue

Need a little more joy in your life? We have three pretty convincing reasons. ❤️ Doodle Dandy, Spangle and Anthem are 9 weeks old, full of personality, and the kind of puppies that just make you smile. They’re already 15–18 lbs, so they’re going to be on the bigger side, with lots of growing, playing and loving still ahead of them. We need a foster OR adopter for each of these sweet pups! Give one a place to land and we’re pretty sure they’ll return the favor with plenty of love, laughs and puppy kisses. Because they’re siblings, they’ll need to go to separate homes to help prevent littermate syndrome. 🏡 CAN YOU FOSTER? You must live in the Atlanta metro area. Vet care & supplies provided. ❤️ READY TO ADOPT? You must live in Georgia. If one of these faces made you smile, imagine getting to come home to it. Apply to foster or adopt today! #fosteringsaveslives #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, please don’t scroll past these three. We’re looking for three people in Greater Atlanta who can give one of these dogs a safe place to stay while we find them an adoptive home. Our current foster homes are full, and having somewhere to go is what makes it possible for us to take each dog in. We cover all approved veterinary care and can provide supplies if needed. If you live in Greater Atlanta and can give one of these dogs a safe place to stay until they’re adopted, please call or text our Foster Hotline at 770-835-5844 or email JoinUs@angelsrescue.org. You can start by asking about the dog who caught your eye. This conversation could be what gets them out of limbo, and into a home. #fosteringsaveslives #fosterdog #rescuedogs #atlanta #shelterdog

This handsome guy shares a name with a famous vampire, but the only thing Jasper Hale wants to drain is your supply of squeaky toys. As we move into autumn, this sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu is looking for the ultimate cozy sweater-weather companion to cuddle up with. Jasper Hale loves staying right by your side, hanging out with other dogs, and playing outside on crisp fall days. He is quiet in his crate, doing wonderfully in his foster home, and ready to find a loving place to settle down for good. Fill out an application at http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms to bring Jasper Hale home.

🚨 EMERGENCY surgery for Kiki Bee 🚨 Kiki Bee swallowed what appears to be nearly 8 feet of rope. Some of it began to pass, but before it could safely move through her body, it wrapped inside her intestines and became life-threatening. We received the call for help and were faced with an impossible choice. Euthanasia, or emergency surgery. We chose life. Kiki Bee is in surgery right now. This procedure is extensive, urgent, and very costly, but it is her only chance to survive. Without immediate intervention, she would not make it. We are asking our community to please rally behind this sweet girl. Every dollar helps cover the cost of her emergency surgery and critical care. If you are able to give, please donate now. If you cannot donate, please share her story so others can help. We will keep you updated on her progress. Kiki Bee deserves a future.
