Atlanta Pet Rescue was voted "Best Place to Adopt a Pet" in the June 2007 issue of Atlanta magazine. A big thank you to everyone who voted for us! We are very honored to receive this award.
Monetary Donations
Our biggest challenge now is the
financial responsibility of our expanded adoption facility on 14th street. If
you can help, please make your secure,
online tax deductible donation using
the PayPal link below or send your
tax
deductible donation to 720 14th Street, Atlanta, GA 30318.
We also need cash donations to help
pay for ordinary veterinary care,
shots, and surgery, and extraordinary
expenses like heartworm treatment, hernia repair, broken legs, dental work, etc. You
may donate by mail or online with
a
credit card or bank account. Click
the "PayPal" button below
to make a secure, online, tax-deductible donation.
You can make your donation count double! Atlanta Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization and therefore will qualify for most company's matching
gift programs. Check with your company to see if they have a matching
program in place. If they do, just send us the paperwork. We'll do the rest!

If you want your devotion to animals
to continue after you are gone, then
please consider including Atlanta Pet
Rescue & Adoption in your will.
Writing your will to include a gift
to support the rescue efforts at our
shelter is a perfect way to assure
that your love of animals lives on.
Keep in mind that such donations are
not only extremely helpful to our
mission, but they are also tax deductible
and therefore potentially a financial
benefit to your estate. This information
is not intended to serve as legal
or tax advice. You should consider
using a lawyer when planning for your
will or estate.
When a bequest is made to Atlanta
Pet Rescue, we set up a memorial in
your name. This memorial will be included
on our web site and will list any
additional donors that choose to honor
your love and devotion of animals
by contributing to your memorial.
If you would like to include Atlanta
Pet Rescue in your will, it is quick
and easy to do. You can simply copy
the following paragraphs to use in
your will, or if you have already
written your will, you can use the
second section below to amend your
existing will.
Include Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption,
Inc. in your will:
"I bequeath to Atlanta Pet Rescue
and Adoption, Inc., 4250 Woodland
Brook Drive SE, Atlanta, Georgia 30339,
the sum of ___ dollars."
Amend your will to include Atlanta
Pet Rescue and Adoption, Inc.:
"I hereby amend my last will
and testament executed on ___day of
___ in the year ___. I direct that
all provisions of that will remain
in effect, and in addition, I bequeath
to Atlanta Pet Rescue and Adoption,
Inc., 4250 Woodland Brook Drive SE,
Atlanta, Georgia 30339, the sum of
___ dollars." (A codicil changing
your residuary estate will require
you to make other adjustments. Your
attorney will advise you.)
Communicate your desire for your
family and friends to honor your memory
with a donation to your Atlanta Pet
Rescue memorial by requesting your
family include the following in your
obituary: "It was the wish of
the deceased that donations be sent
to (his or her) Atlanta Pet Rescue
& Adoption Memorial in lieu
of flowers."
