Releash Atlanta is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-run dog rescue organization licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The organization operates throughout Georgia with a focus on saving dogs from high-kill shelters across the state, directing all donor funds toward direct animal care rather than administrative overhead.
Dogs entering the Releash Atlanta program receive immediate veterinary attention upon rescue. This includes a full physical examination, vaccinations, heartworm testing, microchipping, and spay or neuter surgery. Any existing medical conditions are treated before dogs are placed with foster families while permanent adoptive homes are identified. The foster network is central to the organization’s model, providing individual home environments for dogs while they await adoption.
The organization rescues all breeds and sizes, from small companion dogs such as Yorkies and Shih Tzus to larger breeds including Pit Bulls and Doberman Pinschers. A spay and neuter program is also listed among the services offered. The adoption process includes application review and a matching service designed to align dogs with households suited to their temperament, size, and energy level.
Supporters can contribute through direct financial donations via PayPal, by sponsoring individual dogs, or through physical item donations via the organization’s Amazon and Chewy wish lists. Volunteer roles are available for those interested in fostering, transporting, or assisting with events and outreach. Testimonials from successful adoptions are published on the website.
The mailing address for donations is 4850 Golden Parkway, Suite B #179, Buford, GA 30518. Adoption inquiries and contact can be directed to adopt@releashatlanta.com. Releash Atlanta maintains social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where rescue updates, adoption features, and volunteer opportunities are regularly shared with the Atlanta-area community.
