Fulton County Animal Services is facing critical overcrowding, putting many dogs at risk of euthanasia. Limited space and resources necessitate urgent action to find these animals loving homes. This page highlights dogs most in need of immediate placement with fosters or adopters.
Dogs listed as “at-risk” may face challenges such as behavioral concerns, quality of life issues, or shelter-induced stress due to prolonged stays. Their profiles detail specific placement needs, often involving minor behavioral or health issues that are exacerbated by the overcrowded shelter environment. Overcrowding increases the risk of preventable illnesses and diminishes the well-being of these vulnerable animals. Fulton County Animal Services can no longer house them and seeks immediate solutions through fostering or adoption.
Transparency and ensuring successful matches are paramount. Fulton County Animal Services provides comprehensive counseling to prospective adopters and fosters, working diligently to pair each dog with the right home. While out-of-state adoptions are considered, foster homes must be within reasonable driving distance of the shelter to address potential medical or behavioral emergencies. Each dog has unique needs, and careful consideration of home environment and lifestyle is crucial for a successful placement.
To help, visit Fulton County Animal Services immediately. Speak with the team to determine if a dog on this page is a suitable match for your home. The shelter is open seven days a week and extends its hours until 8 PM on Tuesdays. Even if you cannot adopt a dog listed here, any adoption opens space and resources, impacting the lives of all animals in the shelter.
