PAWS Atlanta

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

PAWS Atlanta is a no kill shelter located in Decatur. Currently the shelter is housing 115 dogs and cats looking for good homes. PAWS Atlanta rescues animals from other shelters across the state that plan on euthanizing them and keeps them indefinitely until new parents can be found. I photographed volunteers walking and playing with the animals for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
