E very individual in the animal welfare business has a different vision of what the future will hold. Some believe

you must go forth and spay and neuter every animal possible to get control of pet overpopulation, one of the main reasons animal welfare organizations exist. Others believe we can adopt our way out of the crisis. Still others are advocates of education and awareness for the next generation’s responsibility of saving animals and preventing cruelty. All are correct.

Whatever you believe, we can all agree there is a lot of work to do before any animal welfare organization can rest. Until all lost, stray, abandoned and unwanted animals have a secure, loving home, we must keep forging ahead to get ever closer to this goal.

The compassion and dedication of humane people will always keep the animal’s life and welfare as their beacon of guidance for future success.

Atlanta Humane Society envisions its future as an organization saving the most lives of as many animals as our resources, personnel and financial ability will allow.

That is why we are in the process of doubling our geographical size and capabilities with the addition of a second location, the AHS Mansell Road Campus located in North Fulton County. This facility will open in late 2011.

Over the 138 years of Atlanta Humane Society’s success and accomplishments, the Atlanta Metro and Georgia community has been a stellar partner supporting AHS

and believing in the care, treatment and life quality of animals.

A large element of the vast support that allows us to help so many animals comes in the form of attending events held as “fun” fundraisers such as our upcoming Pet Parade.

The long running Pet Parade gives everyone a chance to have fun with their pets, yet still perform a heartwarming, unselfish act of support assisting AHS in helping so many animals in need.

As the cold snow flies, even here in Atlanta, the thought that so many of our little furry friends will be safe and warm in the future because of the support of our donors, volunteers and community, gives the spring Pet Parade an ever greater importance for our Walk into the Future, saving the most lives of as many animals as humanely possible.

Thanks for your support. We will always strive to make you proud of your Atlanta Humane Society.

Cooper, a happy former AHS resident, and I look forward to greeting you at the Pet Parade.

Enthusiastically,

Carl Leveridge President Atlanta Humane Society and SPCA of GA, Inc.

Yes, it’s that time of year again! The Atlanta Humane Society’s successful fundraiser, No Ball At Allsm, is in full swing. 2011 is the 20th year for our signature ‘non-event’. Over the years, No Ball At All has raised much needed funds to help care for our agency’s “Society Pets.” So, instead of having a fancy party and paying for food, entertainment, and decorations, all the money raised goes to help the AHS’ homeless pets.

However, if you do want to get together with fellow animal lovers, a No Ball At Allsm Patron Party will be hosted by Board member Pam Ward Smart in the spring. This event is open to all donors who make a No Ball gift of at least $350 per person. Once again, Knox Jewelers is donating a custom-designed pin, Johnny Cain of Southern Style Studio has agreed to photograph the event for us, Atlanta Flower Market is providing our centerpieces, and Extreme Staffing is providing bartenders.

If you’d like to receive an invitation or you need more information, please call 404.974.2878.

1873 Society ClubNow in it’s second year, the junior board of the Atlanta Humane Society, the 1873 Society Club, is looking forward to another great year of fundraising and events. In 2011 our mission has expanded to include all rescues by the HEART vehicle, including puppy mills, dog fighting rings, hoarders and disaster areas as well as the Mobile Spay/Neuter Vehicle. All funds raised this year will be dedicated to this tremendous cause.

Bringing together three Atlanta legends, the Atlanta Humane Soci-ety, SweetWater Brewing Company and Yacht Rock Revue invite you to join us on MArCH 29th from 6 – 9pm at SweetWater Brew-ing Company for beer tastings, brewery tours and a souvenir pint glass, all while enjoying incredible music as we look forward to the coming of warmer months!

Purchase tickets by March 1st for an advanced promotion price of $30. After that, tickets will be $40, and $45 at the door.

Visit the 1873 webpage at www.atlantahumane.org/who/1873_society_club.php

Fireman to the RescueAHS President Carl Leveridge presented Capt. Chris Holder, FF2 Scott Baker, FAO Clint Martin, and FAO Robert Milton with plaques of recognition for their bravery. The Truck 20 Crew from the DeKalb County Fire and Rescue Department responded to an apartment fire on November 16, 2010. They were able to rescue two dogs from the third floor balcony and reunite the pets with their families. Thank you so much guys! You truly are heroes to both people and pets!

Grieving for an animal companion? To help people cope with the death of a pet, the AHS offers Mend-A-Heart group counseling sessions. These hour-long sessions are held at the Shelter on the second Saturday of each month at 11:00am in the Administrative Area.

Mend-A-Heart sessions are conducted by a friend of the AHS, Linda Ehlers, who holds a Masters degree in community counseling and education from Georgia State University. Ms. Ehlers is also available for individual counseling (call 404.250.9148). The main objective of the group is to generate mutual support and comfort for each other.

For more information, please call the AHS Education Department at 404.974.2899. The cost is $5 per person.

Friends For Life Dear AHS,

Ripley, the cream-colored dog on the left, came into my life on Sep-tember 30, 1992. I first laid eyes on her the day before, but since she was a “found dog”, she still had a day to go before she was eligible for adoption. I was afraid that someone else might be inter-ested in her so I made sure I returned bright and early the next day to ensure I could take her home. She’s been nothing but a joy in my life ever since. Ripley is a sweet dog who always has a kiss for you.

Scout, the red dog on the right, was added to the family on June 1, 1995. I wanted to get Ripley a companion and she came with me and a friend to the shelter that day. We took a look at Scout, who was in the older dogs area even though she was still only a few months old. We decided to go look at the other dogs on the next row of pens and couldn’t believe our eyes when Scout came bound-ing around the corner to find us. We were sure we had put her back in her pen and latched the door. We put her back and returned to the next row of pens. We turned around to find she had followed us again. This time, as we put her back, we stood a few feet away to see how it was that she was escaping from her pen. To our amaze-ment, she was able to squeeze out through the slot in the door used for feeding. That was it. Our search was over. She needed to come home with us. From day one, Scout has been loyal, attentive and loving.

I am very grateful that both stayed as healthy and active as they did. Ripley was deaf and had arthritis and a heart murmur but none of that slowed her down, particularly at meal time or when there were treats to be had. Scout still gets very excited when it’s time for a walk or a ride in the car. Every once in a while, she gets a burst of energy that matches that of any puppy and we take turns chasing each other around the house.

Send us your Friend For Life photo and story. Mail to Atlanta Humane Society, Attn: HEART EDITOR, 981 Howell Mill Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. We are looking for stories about animals adopted from the AHS shelter who have been constant companions for many, many years. Please include your name, address and phone number for verification.

Ripley and Scout

Mariel Hannah award A native of metro Atlanta, Mariel Hannah was a lifelong pet lover with a special affinity for homeless animals. Tragically, she was one of four people killed in a home invasion in March 2006. To honor the 18 year-old’s memory, her family and friends established a fund at the Atlanta Humane Society to recognize selfless acts by teenagers who share Mariel’s love for animals.

We are now accepting nominations for the annual Mariel Hannah Humane Heroes Award. If you know a teen between the ages of 13 and 18 at the time of service who performed an extraordinary act of kindness for the benefit of animals, briefly describe (under 200 words) how and why he/she should be selected as the 2010 Mariel Hannah Humane Heroes Award winner.

A recipient will be selected in April and announced in early May at the start of “Be Kind to Animals Week.” The recipient will receive a cash prize and a plaque of recognition. A second plaque will be on permanent display at Atlanta Humane Society.

For full rules, visit www.atlantahumane.org/services/marielhannah.php

Mail your nomination to: Deborah Marshall, Atlanta Humane Society, 981 Howell Mill Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. The winner will be acknowledged by mail and at our annual “Be Kind to Animals Week” Student Art Contest Awards Ceremony in May.

All nomination materials must be postmarked by April 1st, 2011 to be eligible.

Both are great pets who truly have been “friends for life”.

Ripley’s health deteriorated quickly to the point that her vet couldn’t do any more to help her. June first of this year will mark 16 years since I adopted Scout. She has an assortment of age-related problems but was still able to dig out of a fence and escape from a friend’s yard in while I was vacationing in Florida.

Thanks you, AHS! Susan Kicak

SUV Making a difference in GaThe Atlanta Humane Society, as part of our ongoing effort to reduce the number of unwanted animals born in the state of Georgia each year, provides low cost spay and neuter services for dogs and cats on its state-of-the-art mo-bile Surgical Utility Vehicle (SUV). The SUV program is an extension of our outreach initiative, designed to provide spay/neuter services for individuals who are unable to access our wellness hospital located here at the shelter.

How can I have a pet altered through the SUV program?

The SUV will be making rounds to various locations throughout Georgia over the course of the year and will provide low cost spay and neuter services. Scheduling is currently being conducted using the SUV voicemail system. To access this system, please leave a detailed message at 404.974.2885. Messages left on the system will be returned M-F between the hours of 8-10am and 2-4pm. An updated schedule of Surgical Utility Vehicle dates and locations can be found by visiting www.atlantahumane.org/suv

These companies and individuals have sponsored reduced cost spay/neuter surgeries throughout Georgia.
