“ <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />

<strong>Society</strong> envisions<br />

its future as an<br />

organization saving<br />

the most lives of<br />

as many animals<br />

as our resources,<br />

personnel and<br />

financial ability<br />

will allow.”<br />

Heart to Heart<br />

a Walk into the Future<br />

Every individual in the animal welfare<br />

business has a different vision of what<br />

the future will hold. Some believe<br />

you must go forth and spay and neuter<br />

every animal possible to get control of pet<br />

overpopulation, one of the main reasons<br />

animal welfare organizations exist. Others<br />

believe we can adopt our way out of the<br />

crisis. Still others are advocates of education<br />

and awareness for the next generation’s<br />

responsibility of saving animals and<br />

preventing cruelty. All are correct.<br />

Whatever you believe, we can all agree<br />

there is a lot of work to do before any animal<br />

welfare organization can rest. Until all lost,<br />

stray, abandoned and unwanted animals<br />

have a secure, loving home, we must keep<br />

forging ahead to get ever closer to this goal.<br />

The compassion and dedication of humane<br />

people will always keep the animal’s life<br />

and welfare as their beacon of guidance for<br />

future success.<br />

<strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> envisions its future<br />

as an organization saving the most lives of<br />

as many animals as our resources, personnel<br />

and financial ability will allow.<br />

That is why we are in the process of<br />

doubling our geographical size and<br />

capabilities with the addition of a second<br />

location, the AHS Mansell Road Campus<br />

located in North Fulton County. This facility<br />

will open in late 2011.<br />

Over the 138 years of <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />

<strong>Society</strong>’s success and accomplishments,<br />

the <strong>Atlanta</strong> Metro and Georgia community<br />

has been a stellar partner supporting AHS<br />

2 ATLANTA HUMANE SOCIETY HEArT NEwSLETTEr SPRING 2011 www.atlantahumane.org<br />

and believing in the care, treatment and life<br />

quality of animals.<br />

A large element of the vast support that<br />

allows us to help so many animals comes<br />

in the form of attending events held as “fun”<br />

fundraisers such as our upcoming Pet Parade.<br />

The long running Pet Parade gives everyone<br />

a chance to have fun with their pets, yet still<br />

perform a heartwarming, unselfish act of<br />

support assisting AHS in helping so many<br />

animals in need.<br />

As the cold snow flies, even here in <strong>Atlanta</strong>,<br />

the thought that so many of our little furry<br />

friends will be safe and warm in the future<br />

because of the support of our donors,<br />

volunteers and community, gives the spring<br />

Pet Parade an ever greater importance for<br />

our Walk into the Future, saving the most<br />

lives of as many animals as humanely<br />

possible.<br />

Thanks for your support. We will always<br />

strive to make you proud of your <strong>Atlanta</strong><br />

<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />

Cooper, a happy former AHS resident, and<br />

I look forward to greeting you at the Pet<br />

Parade.<br />

Enthusiastically,<br />

Fireman to the Rescue<br />

AHS President Carl Leveridge presented Capt. Chris Holder, FF2<br />

Scott Baker, FAO Clint Martin, and FAO Robert Milton with plaques<br />

of recognition for their bravery. The Truck 20 Crew from the DeKalb<br />

County Fire and Rescue Department responded to an apartment fire<br />

on November 16, 2010. They were able to rescue two dogs from<br />

the third floor balcony and reunite the pets with their families. Thank<br />

you so much guys! You truly are heroes to both people and pets!<br />

1873 <strong>Society</strong> Club<br />

Now in it’s second year, the junior board of the <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />

<strong>Society</strong>, the 1873 <strong>Society</strong> Club, is looking forward to another<br />

great year of fundraising and events. In 2011 our mission has<br />

expanded to include all rescues by the HEART vehicle, including<br />

puppy mills, dog fighting rings, hoarders and disaster areas as well<br />

as the Mobile Spay/Neuter Vehicle. All funds raised this year will<br />

be dedicated to this tremendous cause.<br />

Bringing together three <strong>Atlanta</strong> legends, the <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />

SweetWater Brewing Company and Yacht Rock Revue invite<br />

you to join us on MArCH 29 th from 6 – 9pm at SweetWater Brewing<br />

Company for beer tastings, brewery tours and a souvenir pint<br />

glass, all while enjoying incredible music as we look forward to the<br />

coming of warmer months!<br />

Purchase tickets by March 1st for an advanced promotion price of<br />

$ 30. After that, tickets will be $ 40, and $ 45 at the door.<br />

Visit the 1873 webpage at<br />

for more information and to purchase tickets!<br />

Yes, it’s that time of year again! The <strong>Atlanta</strong><br />

<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s successful fundraiser, No<br />

Ball At All s m , is in full swing. 2011 is the 20th<br />

year for our signature ‘non-event’. Over the<br />

years, No Ball At All has raised much needed<br />

funds to help care for our agency’s “<strong>Society</strong><br />

Pets.” So, instead of having a fancy party<br />

and paying for food, entertainment, and<br />

decorations, all the money raised goes to help<br />

the AHS’ homeless pets.<br />

However, if you do want to get together with<br />

fellow animal lovers, a No Ball At All s m Patron<br />

Party will be hosted by Board member Pam<br />

Ward Smart in the spring. This event is open<br />

to all donors who make a No Ball gift of at<br />

least $350 per person. Once again, Knox<br />

Jewelers is donating a custom-designed pin,<br />

Johnny Cain of Southern Style Studio has<br />

agreed to photograph the event for us, <strong>Atlanta</strong><br />

Flower Market is providing our centerpieces,<br />

and Extreme Staffing is providing bartenders.<br />

If you’d like to receive an invitation or<br />

you need more information, please call<br />

Friends For Life<br />

Dear AHS,<br />

Ripley, the cream-colored dog on the left, came into my life on September<br />

30, 1992. I first laid eyes on her the day before, but since<br />

she was a “found dog”, she still had a day to go before she was<br />

eligible for adoption. I was afraid that someone else might be interested<br />

in her so I made sure I returned bright and early the next day<br />

to ensure I could take her home. She’s been nothing but a joy in my<br />

life ever since. Ripley is a sweet dog who always has a kiss for you.<br />

Scout, the red dog on the right, was added to the family on June 1,<br />

1995. I wanted to get Ripley a companion and she came with me<br />

and a friend to the shelter that day. We took a look at Scout, who<br />

was in the older dogs area even though she was still only a few<br />

months old. We decided to go look at the other dogs on the next<br />

row of pens and couldn’t believe our eyes when Scout came bounding<br />

around the corner to find us. We were sure we had put her back<br />

in her pen and latched the door. We put her back and returned to<br />

the next row of pens. We turned around to find she had followed us<br />

again. This time, as we put her back, we stood a few feet away to<br />

see how it was that she was escaping from her pen. To our amazement,<br />

she was able to squeeze out through the slot in the door used for<br />

feeding. That was it. Our search was over. She needed to come home<br />

with us. From day one, Scout has been loyal, attentive and loving.<br />

I am very grateful that both stayed as healthy and active as they<br />

did. Ripley was deaf and had arthritis and a heart murmur but none<br />

of that slowed her down, particularly at meal time or when there<br />

were treats to be had. Scout still gets very excited when it’s time for<br />

a walk or a ride in the car. Every once in a while, she gets a burst<br />

of energy that matches that of any puppy and we take turns chasing<br />

each other around the house.<br />

Thank you to our generous<br />

Ripley and Scout<br />

Both are great pets who truly have been “friends for life”.<br />

Ripley’s health deteriorated quickly to the point that her<br />

vet couldn’t do any more to help her. June first of this<br />

year will mark 16 years since I adopted Scout. She has<br />

an assortment of age-related problems but was still able<br />

to dig out of a fence and escape from a friend’s yard in<br />

while I was vacationing in Florida.<br />

Thanks you, AHS!<br />

A native of metro <strong>Atlanta</strong>, Mariel Hannah was a lifelong pet lover with a special affinity for<br />

homeless animals. Tragically, she was one of four people killed in a home invasion in March<br />

2006. To honor the 18 year-old’s memory, her family and friends established a fund at the <strong>Atlanta</strong><br />

<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> to recognize selfless acts by teenagers who share Mariel’s love for animals.<br />

We are now accepting nominations for the annual Mariel Hannah <strong>Humane</strong> Heroes Award.<br />

extraordinary act of kindness for the benefit of animals, briefly describe (under 200 words) how<br />

and why he/she should be selected as the 2010 Mariel Hannah <strong>Humane</strong> Heroes Award winner.<br />

A recipient will be selected in April and announced in early May at the start of “Be Kind to<br />

Animals Week.” The recipient will receive a cash prize and a plaque of recognition. A second<br />

plaque will be on permanent display at <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />

SUV Making a difference in Ga<br />

The <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, as part of our ongoing effort<br />

to reduce the number of unwanted animals born in the<br />

state of Georgia each year, provides low cost spay and<br />

neuter services for dogs and cats on its state-of-the-art mobile<br />

Surgical Utility Vehicle (SUV). The SUV program is an<br />

extension of our outreach initiative, designed to provide<br />

spay/neuter services for individuals who are unable to<br />

access our wellness hospital located here at the shelter.<br />

How can I have a pet altered through the SUV program?<br />

The SUV will be making rounds to various locations throughout Georgia over the course of<br />

the year and will provide low cost spay and neuter services. Scheduling is currently being<br />

conducted using the SUV voicemail system. To access this system, please leave a detailed<br />

message at 404.974.2885. Messages left on the system will be returned M-F between<br />

the hours of 8-10am and 2-4pm. An updated schedule of Surgical Utility Vehicle dates and<br />

locations can be found by visiting www.atlantahumane.org/suv<br />

These companies and individuals have sponsored reduced cost spay/neuter<br />

surgeries throughout Georgia.<br />

ALL pETS ALLOwEd 2012 Calendar<br />

This one-of-a-kind calendar<br />

highlights your beloved<br />

pets. Until August 31,<br />

2011, pet owners are<br />

invited to submit a<br />

photograph of their<br />

favorite furry friend. When<br />

all entries are received,<br />

thirteen animals will be<br />

selected as “Pets of the<br />

Month” while one Cover Pet will be selected to grace the<br />

front of the calendar. Those animals not selected as Pet of the<br />

Month/Year will be featured in a collage inside the calendar.<br />

Calendars are sold for $ 15 each through various venues,<br />

including our on-site shop. All proceeds from the sales go<br />

toward AHS animal welfare programs.<br />

To enter your pet’s photo, you may pay online at<br />

www.atlantahumane.org and email your pet’s photo or<br />

complete the entry form and mail it, along with a $ 35 fee,<br />

which gets you one free copy of the calendar! Additional<br />

copies may be purchased for $ 15 (includes S&H).<br />

eNtRy RequIReMeNtS<br />

• All photos must be in color, contain only animals, and be no<br />

larger than 4” X 6”.<br />

• Horizontal (landscape) orientation and gloss finish are preferred.<br />

low quality reproduction.<br />

• Low resolution files will not be considered for Cover or Month<br />

placements.<br />

• Digital photos should be shot in ‘best’ or ‘professional’ quality.<br />

• Due to quality reasons, color prints made at home on inkjet or laser<br />

printers cannot be considered for the Cover or Month placements.<br />

However, these types of prints will be accepted for the smaller<br />

photos used throughout the calendar.<br />

• Professional photographs are prohibited.<br />

• The back of the photo should have a sticky note with your name,<br />

phone number and name of the pet – please do NOT write on<br />

the back of the photo as it alters the quality of the front image.<br />

be returned.<br />

• Photo CDs are accepted.<br />
