ATLANTA, GA - Southern Animal Rescue saves homeless dogs and cats, gives them proper medical care, and finds them loving permanent homes. Southern Animal Rescue was founded in November 2008 by an avid group of animal lovers committed to helping those pets in need in Atlanta. Our mission is to rescue and re-home abused, neglected and homeless dogs and cats in metro Atlanta; to educate pet owners to properly care for their animals; and to reduce the number of feral cats and kittens through the humane practice of TNR (trap-neuter-return). We are active and vocal advocates for abused and abandoned pets in our local communities and with our state law makers. We believe that rescue alone will never save enough lives nor bring about a long-term solution to Georgia's pet overpopulaton crisis. In all that we do, we strive to create communities where, one day in the not-so-distant future, our rescue work is no longer required.
