his application MUST be completed by anyone interested in adopting a pet from PAWS Atlanta.
PAWS Atlanta reserves the right to refuse an adoption for ANY reason. All applicants must be 21 years

fighting (Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Dobermans etc.) will have their application reviewed by the shelter
manager, and adoptions may not be same-day. We want this to be a wonderful experience for you and
your family, but our first responsibility is for the health, welfare, and happiness of the animals in our care.
