As you know we are in the process of building a wonderful new home for the dogs and cats of Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption.

We need your support during this time more than ever before. Our friends and supporters of APRA Read More...

Our Paws in the Park dog walk and pet expo on Sept. 25 at Centennial Olympic Park was a howling good time by all reports and raised more than $140,000 for Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption’s (APRA) ongoing rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Presented by The Coca-Cola Company, the event focused on active, healthy lifestyles for humans and their pets.
Nearly 450 people registered for the dog walk, raising the majority of funds that made the event such an overwhelming success. The four French Bulldogs we rescued in July reunited to serve as honorary grand marshals, leading the walk with their new owners and foster moms.
The 5-hour expo featured more than 70 pet-related vendors and rescue groups. Among them was Victoria Stilwell Positively whose trainers Read More...

Maria Hill and her friends usually organize a happy hour or supper club at least once a month, so she decided she would host one as a fundraiser for Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption (APRA) leading up to Paws in the Park.
P’Cheen in Inman Park graciously agreed to serve as the venue with owner and animal lover Keiran Neely arranging for one of the restaurant’s wine representatives to donate a case of champagne so a specialty drink made with the champagne could be offered for $5 on the night of the event.
Guests also could purchase raffle tickets for $5 each for the chance to win great prizes donated by Miller Union, Lila Boutique, Nandina Home & Design, Douglas & Co. Salon, Highland Bakery and Baraonda/Baroni.
