  is a pet adoption referral website for homeless animals in the Atlanta area. The Pet Orphans website is a service provided by SPOT-Stopping Pet Overpopulation Together, Inc. in order to help independent rescue groups find great homes for their purebred and mixed breed orphaned family dogs and cats. All of the pets pictured on the Pet Orphans website are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested (dogs) or combo tested (cats) prior to adoption.

Over 90,000 dogs and cats are killed every year in Atlanta area shelters. It is a problem of epidemic proportions. More pets are killed in Atlanta area shelters than in the entire country of Great Britain, New York City or the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon or Washington. Most of the pets that enter Atlanta shelters are family pets that have become lost or have strayed from home, but without an ID tag the shelters have no way of identifying them. Please help us help the homeless pets and prevent more from becoming homeless by spaying and neutering all of your pets, by keeping an ID tag on your pets 24/7, by adopting rather than buying a pet and by making a commitment to keep your pet for its entire lifetime.

Please visit Fulton County Animal Services.
You can make a difference...Adopt a dog or cat! Volunteer!

Approximately 1000 Pet Orphans dogs and cats are placed into new homes every year.   If you do not adopt from Pet Orphans, please consider adopting a pet from another Atlanta area purebred or mixed breed rescue group or your local county animal control shelter.  They are all listed on our rescue list.
