Celebrate the end of Summer and adopt one of our promotional pets!

We have chosen all of our active, rambunctious fun loving dogs who hang out together in our “Party Pen” as well as several honorary members. Our honorary dogs and cats were chosen since they have been with us a  bit longer and still in search of their forever home.

All participating dogs and cats will have the Last Blast of Summer promotion on their biography page and their adoption fee is reduced by $50. All dogs in the promotion also get a free microchip. All of our kitties always come with a microchip.

As you know we have a wonderful new home for the dogs and cats of Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. Our space is much larger to accommodate more animals which enables us to save more lives!

We need your support during this time more than ever! Our friends and supporters of APRA have always been wonderful. We are asking again for your help in making a donation to our building fund. No donation is too small, every dollar counts.
