Hope all is well, my name is DeCarlo Tatum Jr, I live in Atlanta Ga. My experience with dogs has been an amazing journey. My love for dogs begin at a young age, in high school I wanted to become a Veterinarian. After I graduated from high school, I was bestowed the opportunity to intern as a vet tech at the Atlanta Humane Society for a summer project, in the city of Atlanta. It was an amazing experience, I also had the opportunity to work for one of the most popular dog day cares in Atlanta, Ga, Wag A Lot. There, I bathed dogs, dog sit and I was a lead Wag for both yards.Last but not least I cared for my father and mother dogs ( American PitBulls) for 12years!! I believe that your pet and I will develop a great bond, I believe that pets are people too!!

“Dedicated,vigilant walker with attention to detail”
Hi! My name is Luis and I just love dogs! They always bring a big smile to my face. I've been a walker for 2 years. I grew up with a cocker spaniel named Lulu and we always had other pets like fish, birds, rabbits, etc, so I know how important it is to care of our animal family members to keep them happy and healthy. I grew up in Atlanta, so I am very familiar with different neighborhoods in town and best routes to take. I love the outdoors, and can't wait to spend some time with your cute pup!

“Your Dogs BFF!!!”
www.Instagram.com/ATLPetLover to view interactions. I have always loved animals as a child and would often bring stray dogs home and care for them; as I was an outcast kid/teen with little to no friends. Ever since I can remember I have always had some type of animal. From dogs, birds, crawfish, hamsters, rabbits, geico, and a few turtles; even camels. My recent experience with 2 displaced cats (Bob)-Tabby & (Cali)-Calico is what changed my entire life and connection with animals.

My name is Lindsey. The protection of animals are one of my biggest passions and purposes. I'm a vegan that has owned and cared for any kind of animal you can imagine. I had a small dog sitting service during college called 'Fuzzy Buddies' that I loved. My degree is in Film making but I keep coming back to animal jobs because it's what makes me happy.:)

I'm Karen and I have had dogs as pets throughout my life. One of my favorite activities is dog walking, both my own dog and the dogs of my friends. There is something very satisfying to see a dog's tail wagging with enjoyment as they get ready for their walk and then continue wagging their tail as they complete their walk!

“A walk a day keeps the vet away :)”
Hi! I have over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs. I currently own two cats and an 8 yr. old Siberian Husky. I can walk multiple dogs at once & pulling is not an issue. I also have experience with handicapped dogs and had a husky with a wheelchair so special requests are certainly understandable. I love getting to pet sit and board any chance I can. I’ll take care of your baby just as my own with lots of TLC <3. Whatever you need I’m your girl! Can’t wait to meet you and your pup(s)!

Dog Boarding in Decatur
The staff, volunteers and foster families of Paws Atlanta believe that dogs and people need each other; when a loving dog and a loving family come together, everyone is happier! Paws Atlanta is located at 5287 Covington Highway in Decatur, Georgia. This rescue is open 7 days a week. Their hours are Monday through Friday from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Have you been thinking about expanding your furry family for a while now? If yes, why not choose one of Paws Atlanta’s little love bugs to join your family? Adopting a pet is a forever commitment and requires patience and a whole lot of love. If you fit that bill, the staff at Paws Atlanta can’t wait to hear from you. Just think, your new little furry family member is waiting to meet you and fall in love!
Besides being the temporary home to dogs awaiting their forever homes, Paws Atlanta also offers many services to the general public and their pets such as a low-cost dental clinic, a bi-monthly pet wellness clinic, weekend dog training classes, full-time vet services, low-cost spay/neuter and medications and a pet food bank for low income families! They also run senior assistance programs as well as summer camps where kids can come and learn how to interact, guide and love all the canines in their lives. All of these amazing and necessary programs require significant funds to keep going and that is where animal lovers like you come in.
The rescue receives no government funding of any kind, so donations are always needed and greatly appreciated. There is also the option of “planned giving” which is monetary donation after you pass away. Isn’t that a wonderful legacy to leave behind? Do you work at a pet-friendly company? Would your company consider becoming a sponsor of the rescue or making any charitable, tax-deductible donation?
You could also give any spare time you had to help the staff at Paws Atlanta do their many daily tasks such as cleaning, clerical work, playing and exercising the dogs, transporting pets to and from the vet or from adoption events and so, so much more. Any help the dedicated, hard-working staff can get from loving volunteers is an immeasurable gift to them and to the dogs!
Another way to help is by becoming a foster paw-rent to one of the dogs at the rescue. By doing this, you are not only providing that dog with love, care and guidance, but you are also freeing up a spot at the rescue for another dog to be cared for, fed and loved by the staff while they await their forever home.
If you are driving by Paws Atlanta, stop in for a visit and tell the staff you appreciate all they do. You may just find your new best friend here!
