Furkids Is A No-Kill Shelter For Dogs And Cats Where Every Animal Gets The Care, The Time, And The Second Chance They Deserve.
Every dog and cat who comes to us gets everything they need to get healthy and stay that way: full medical care in our on-site Giaquinto Medical Center, treatment for the conditions most shelters have to turn away, and a calm, bright environment so they can get well, and find a forever home.

Atlanta Animal Shelter That Breaks The Mold
Our nine-acre headquarters campus was designed from the ground up around the idea that animals heal faster somewhere that feels good. That means natural light, fresh air, and calm, open spaces instead of rows of cages. It’s home to a two-story dog shelter with its own splash pad, dog runs, and a maternity suite, plus the Giaquinto Medical Center, where our team treats the animals most shelters have to turn away.
Bright, cage-free, and purpose-built, it’s a big part of why we’ve been able to save more than 85,000 animals since 2002, including the sick, the scared, and the ones who ran out of time somewhere else. At Furkids, a second chance isn’t just getting pulled from a kill list. It’s getting well, comfortable, and ready for their forever home.
Because saving a life is just the start. We give every animal what they need to not only survive, but thrive.
A few of the things that make our no-kill shelter special:
- The Sutherlin Dog Shelter, a two-story home for dogs with a splash pad, runs, and a maternity suite
- The Giaquinto Medical Center, where even the hardest medical cases get over-the-top care
- The Fort and Michele Felker Cat Shelter, with a built in cat cafe, and catios for every free roaming cat room
- Cage-free, sunlit spaces for calm and comfort
- Nine acres of room to heal, play, and be safe
- A promise to take any Furkid back, for life, no matter how much time has passed
- An on-site event center featuring a venue and gardens for celebrations of all kinds, with 100% of revenue supporting the lifesaving work of helping homeless animals

Shelter for Animals in Atlanta
We Don’t Do “Unadoptable”
Furkids began in 2002, when our founder took in a stray mother cat that local animal control was going to euthanize.
More than 85,000 rescues later, the mission hasn’t changed: save thousands of animals a year, end the cycle of overpopulation and euthanasia in metro Atlanta, and give every one of them the care they need to thrive.
Because saving a life is only the first chapter. The one that matters most is the one where a dog or cat nobody wanted becomes the cherished pet somebody can’t imagine living without.
