80+ dogs urgently need a safe place to land today.

Fulton County Animal Services is currently caring for 454 dogs, 80 dogs over its humane capacity of 375. At the same time, Fulton is operating with temporarily reduced kennel space because of an ongoing County painting project. The shelter is also caring for 32 dogs on court hold who cannot yet be adopted, though many may be eligible for foster placement. There are currently 27 dogs on the urgent list who need placement by 7 PM today, October 8, but the need is even bigger than that. New animals continue to arrive every day, sometimes in pairs, trios, and even entire litters of puppies. To create enough breathing room for the dogs already here and the pets still coming through the doors, Fulton needs to find placement for roughly 80+ dogs, and that number continues to climb. That means we need adopters. We need foster homes. We need rescue partners. And we need people sharing these dogs with someone who may be ready to say yes. If you’ve been thinking about helping, this is one of those moments where one dog leaving truly makes a difference. Come to the shelter today: Fulton County Animal Services 1251 Fulton Industrial Blvd NW Atlanta, GA 30336 Please adopt, foster, rescue, or share.
