The cats and dogs are kept in a seemingly clean areas. Several volunteers came in on the Friday that I came to visit and love on the animals. Only a few kennels had feces left in them, but the place generally smelled clean to have as many animals as they did. While I was looking out of the cat window, I saw a man jerking a black and white dog by the leash. I met this dog earlier and he was so sweet and obedient. The man continued to jerk the dog by the neck as if he were very frustrated and didn't know much about dog training. As a certified dog trainer, one of the things we are taught to understand is that if you jerk a dog by its neck over and over, the neck will become numb and desensitized essentially deadening the nerves around the neck. It's cruel and abusive. But I do understand that some people don't understand the long term effects of doing this, so I gave the man the benefit of the doubt. I walked outside toward him and the dog and as I did, the staff member Harriet walked up as well. I didn't know if they were a couple or together or what and I asked if they were adopting the sweet dog. The man said that he was just fostering him for the weekend. I told him that I had been watching him from the cat house jerking the dog around and tried to help him understand the effects of doing that. He denied jerking the dog by its neck. Then the staff member whom I later found out whose name was Harriet, jumped in and said, "Well actually the dog has a harness on so it's ok." She said that she worked at the shelter as if to provide some credibility. Longer story shorter, she was very rude and dismissive and seemed not to care of the dog was being mistreated by the man. The lady at the front desk whose name I didn't get was kind and answered question me for me about the animals. I went inside to fill out an application for an adult white cat, and Harriet followed me in there asking me why I was filling out an application. She was so smug and hateful. I ignored her, took my application with me, and left. A great experience at first ruined by the nastiness of one employee. 2 Stars

We adopted out biggest son at Paws Last year. You can tell they really love the babies they have, and even call to check on the children every so often. Paws tries to help people make sure they can keep the babies they have, and be able to take care of them properly. When we decide to adopt another baby in the future, it would be through Paws

My last three fur babies have come from PAWS. Healthy animals kept in very clean surroundings. This is a "no kill" shelter and they rely on donations. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My last trip, I stopped by to make a donation and ended up with a new cat! If you are looking for a "forever friend" please stop in.

Disappointing service. My children and I found a kitten that we couldn't keep. We've seen Paws Atlanta all over the news and I follow them on social media and they portray such friendly and compassionate service. The woman at the desk turned down the kitten and hardly seemed to care that we had nowhere for it to go. And to think, I was also considering volunteering.

Summer Camp - my son attended the summer camp here and absolutely loved it. For kids that like animals, it's a great camp. I sure wish the camp was longer though. 9-1 makes it hard for working parents.
