Furkids is a 501(c)(3), charitable, non-profit animal rescue organization located in Atlanta, Georgia. Furkids mission is to a) provide a cage-free, no-kill shelter for our rescued animals where they can experience the best care in a loving environment until they are adopted; b) find permanent, loving, homes for our rescued animals; c) inform the public about pet overpopulation, promote sterilization and provide information for low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter organizations.

Furkids is a no-kill, cage-free animal shelter, founded in 2002 by Samantha Shelton. Ms. Shelton was compelled to start a no-kill shelter after finding a stray mother cat and kittens and was unable to locate a shelter to take them in. She was spurred to action because of the challenging pet overpopulation problem that exists in Georgia.

Furkids' Main Goals are:
• To provide a cage-free, no-kill shelter for our rescued animals where they can experience the best care in a loving environment until they are adopted.
• To find permanent, loving, homes for our rescued animals.
• To inform the public about pet overpopulation, promote sterilization and provide information for low-cost high-quality spay/neuter organizations.
  
  

Furkids began as a network of foster homes conducting adoptions primarily through the Petsmart Perimeter location. In 2003, we were invited to partner with a second Petsmart adoption center in Smyrna. We moved into a third Petsmart location in Midtown Atlanta in 2006 and in 2007, Petsmart Northlake invited us to take over their adoption center.
