The Atlanta Humane Society volunteers work together, and by joining our team of dedicated volunteers, you will be helping us to place as many adoptable animals as possible into loving homes, and to educate the public about pet care.

Peace. Love. Paws. Book
When the Atlanta Humane Society began our Be Kind to Animals art contest, we were expecting a barrage of paintings and drawings depicting cats and dogs - maybe a few rabbits here and there. But when hedgehogs and lemurs began appearing, we knew this was not going to be your garden-variety art contest! For nearly 30 years, the Atlanta Humane Society has been inviting children throughout metropolitan Atlanta to enter their Be Kind to Animals art contest and each year we're amused by the variety of animals that show up. What was once primarily a delightful assortment of brightly colored cats and dogs has now become a kaleidoscope of animals, from camels and crabs to peacocks and penguins. Some bring a whisper, some a warning, but all of the messages in this artful anthology are filled with love and hope, inspiring all of us to widen our circle of compassion to include all beings.
Peace. Love. Paws. The Art of Being Kind benefits the work of the Atlanta Humane Society and can be a reminder to all of us that there is no greater art than the art of being kind.
