Heart to Heart
This year is off to a great start! In January, the Mansell Campus adopted 335 animals while the Howell Mill Campus scored big with 399 adoptions. Combined, our two campuses will make a significant impact in 2012 on the lives of animals in metro Atlanta and beyond.
In 2011, we performed over 7,000 spay/neuter procedures. Nearly 4,700 of those procedures were adoptions or hospital client surgeries. Thanks to the Holland M. Ware Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program, more than 2,300 surgeries were performed on the Surgical Utility Vehicle and the Howell Mill Campus. With service now offered four days per week, we anticipate continued growth for our low-cost/high-volume program in 2012.
The next several months are full of fun events! Join us through participation, sponsorship or volunteering to help further our mission.

These wonderful events as well as the exceptional care of our animals would not be possible without the passionate dedication of our staff. Atlanta Humane Society employees are simply the best — the best at caring for dogs and cats; the best at shelter operations; and the best at finding forever homes. I genuinely appreciate each and every person who helps advance our mission — staff and volunteers alike.
Atlanta Humane Society would not be the organization it is today without the support of our community. I am very thankful for the generosity expressed to date and encourage continued giving to help propel us to our goal by the end of 2012. Our Donate section outlines several ways you can support Atlanta Humane Society including a capital campaign contribution, naming opportunities, event sponsorship and more.
In closing, did you know that Atlanta Humane Society is not affiliated with and does not receive funding from national animal welfare organizations? That is why your financial support is so critical to the success of Atlanta Humane Society. We appreciate your support and hope that we can continue to work together to forward our mission. Join me in making a difference — adopt, sponsor a long-time shelter animal, volunteer or donate. Together, we will make an impact in the lives of dogs and cats in Atlanta and throughout Georgia.
