Originally, Ahimsa House maintained a central shelter for animals at a confidential location in metro Atlanta. In Fall 2006, we recognized the need to change our program model in an effort to operate more cost-effectively and to better serve victims statewide (see How We Help, below). In March 2007, Ahimsa House launched our redesigned direct services program, which houses animals via a network of foster homes and boarding facilities across the state.
To date (August 2024), Ahimsa House has provided over 198,000 nights of safe, confidential shelter for pets in need. In 2023, we assisted more humans and animals to safety than in any other year, with 198 people and their 365 pets entering our program. We also answered 3,785 calls to our 24-hour crisis line.
It costs us approximately $2,000 to care for one survivor’s pets. Often, our cost is much higher when survivors have multiple animals, when we receive exotic or unusual species such as horses, and/or when animals require extensive veterinary treatment due to injury or neglect.
Ahimsa House relies heavily on individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships.
Ahimsa House services are available anywhere in Georgia and all services are completely free of charge.

A wild CHIWEENIE appeared! This 1 year old pup wants to come crash at your place! She loves to give kisses and snuggle up in a blanket. She is spayed, house-trained and crate trained. Her family says she is good with dogs and kids. Ahimsa House is different than most animal rescue programs, in order to respect the confidentiality of the survivors in our program, we aren’t able to pull on your heart strings by posting pictures and videos for our fosterable pets, so we’re trying something a little different. NOSTALGIA! We are a great program if you are worried you might foster fail, 90% of the animals that enter our care are reunited with their families at the end of their time in our program. You can open your house to a temporary guest for any length of time, and then rest easy knowing they went home to a family that loved and missed them 💜 If this tiny thing (under 10lbs) sounds like your preferred kind of guest, you can fill out the foster application on our website or reach out to info@ahimsahouse.org to learn more about fostering with us!

@malonely_boy had a wonderful Halloween as our Ambassa-dog at the @rescuedoggames in Peachtree Corners this last weekend! We loved seeing all the pups in their costumes and making friends with the adoptable from @pawsatlanta at the booth next to ours 😍 We hope you all had a happy and safe Halloweekend! 🎃

Domestic Violence affects people from all different walks of life. There is no one way a survivor looks. Swipe through to learn more about who Ahimsa House assists. 💜 #dvam #withsurvivorsalways #dvam2026 #dvactionmonth #withsurvivors We assist all ages of adults with the 35-39 group as the largest group and 55-59 being the smallest group. Larger DV statistics say that 18-24 is the age group most affected by DV, our stats may vary due to the rate of pet ownership for different age groups. While DV mostly impacts women, there are still other gender survivors who deserve the same access to services. About 5% of the people we assisted last year were men or non-binary people. 1/3 of respondents to our paperwork last year reported that they have some sort of disability. We have helped disabled survivors navigate self advocacy for their service animals to stay with them during crisis, and we regularly give out the most up to date information for survivors getting their pets prescribed as ESA animals as they work towards safe and stable housing. This dataset is interesting because we have 10 race/ethnicity groups in total on our paperwork and so there are 4 groups with no respondents in the last year. DV care and resources can look very different between cultures and there are many culture specific resources available around Georgia. Ahimsa House can assist with up to 8 pets from the same household. Most people only have 1 animal companion but we regularly assist larger families too! Though interestingly we jumped right over a 5 pet household this year. According to this year’s data from the HRC, Georgia has an LGBTQ+ population of 11.46%, which puts our 14% at a little above the average. We’ve left the 4.3% unknown responses for this question to show that some responders may be questioning or unwilling to disclose but we wanted to keep the percentages accurate. Only about 2/3s of the people who enter our program have reliable access to transportation! This huge barrier is a large reason that we moved to our decentralized model of care. We are able to assist survivors anywhere in GA by assisting with a tank of gas, an uber or occasionally begging a rura

October may be coming to an end, but our work continues year round. To the survivors we’ve assisted, we are assisting and the ones we will assist, we are with you. Always 💜 We encourage you all to find a way to support survivors of family violence in your community. Thank you to our staff for all the work they do (and for filming these clips and letting me post them on the internet 🫶🏻) #withsuvivors #dvam #dvam2026 #dvactionmonth #withsurvivorsalways

Earlier this month we were honored with a Marsy’s Law Champion Award from @marsyslawforga. The first Marsy’s Law was passed in California in 2008 in memory of Marsy Nicholas who was stalked and killed by her ex boyfriend in 1983. Shortly after her passing her killer was released on bail after which he confronted her family in a local market. The family had no idea he had been released. Marsy’s brother worked tirelessly to advocate for the passage of Prop 9, the Victims’ Bill of Rights, which seeks to give victims of crime meaningful and enforceable constitutional rights in regard to legal proceedings. Marsy’s laws are now on the books in 11 states with 6 more states trying to pass their own. We are proud to serve as an organization providing a meaningful restorative service for survivors in Georgia by keeping their animals with their families through crisis. Learn more about this award in the article linked in our b!o.

We are SO excited to see all your dogs in their Halloween costumes this weekend at the @rescuedoggames Howl-o-ween event this Saturday. It’s sure to be a spook-tackular time! Please stop by our booth to share your silly or not so silly trick with us for the dog trick contest 💜🧡💚 Ambassadog Malone will be in an adorable new outfit 🦇

Ahimsa House is so proud of be one of the committed partners to the Brenda Baham Family Hope Center set to launch next year! We so appreciate that the animal survivors we assist are going to be represented in this fantastic new project 💜

Ahimsa House served survivors in 65 of Georgia’s 159 counties in this last year! Due to our decentralized network of partners we are able to assist as long as the person and their animals are within the state border. We have incredible veterinary partners as far south as Valdosta, as far north as Ringgold, West out to Columbus and East out to Savannah!

💜 #DVAM2026 #WithSurvivors #DVActionMonth

Here are the survivors of family violence that are often overlooked. These animals are important members of their families and here at Ahimsa House, it is our privilege to keep them safe and our honor to bring them home. #withsurvivors #dvactionmonth #dvam2026 #dvam

We had a blast seeing dogs and cats in all shapes and sizes, young and old, excited and nervous at the @lifelineanimal Healthy Pets Fulton vaccine event! We love to see organizations reducing barriers for pet owners by providing necessary care like vaccines and spays and neuters as well as giving away pet food! Thanks LifeLine for all your incredible work 🫶🏻💜

Do you have your Halloween plans yet? Join us for the @rescuedoggames annual Howl-O-Ween from 11a-3p in Peachtree Corners! There will be fun and games for humans and animals alike! So don your costumes and come kick off your Halloween the best way possible

Today is #PurpleThursday, are you celebrating? Show your purple below! #DVAM2026 #DVActionMonth #WithSurvivors

We were given an amazing opportunity to speak on a panel at the beautiful @cocacola campus for their Pride Inclusion Network’s annual Networking Night Out along side some incredible powerhouse non profit organizations @lost.n.found.youth, @trevorproject and @atlantahabitat. It was an incredibly engaging panel and all of the speakers were so knowledgeable and we were all able to have some amazing conversations at our tables both before and after the programming. Thank you to Coca Cola for giving us such an amazing opportunity to share our Hometown Pride about the work that we do for survivors of DV in Georgia

Here is a quick snapshot of our year to date statistics. Thanks to our incredible team of advocates and volunteers we are able to offer truly wrap around services for our survivors so that their animal’s care is one less thing they have to worry about. #WithSurvivors #DVActionMonth #dvam2026

Our storage room in our metro Atlanta office stays stocked up thanks to generous donations from our community and it makes it so easy and cost effective to get supplies to our clients around Atlanta! But what about our clients in rural areas or in other Georgia metros? We are proud to be able to serve survivors across the whole state and when it doesn’t make sense for our program to deliver those supplies in person we rely on pick up and delivery orders from Walmart, Amazon, PetSmart, PetCo and Chewy! We know gift card donations don’t feel as personal as supplies, but it gives our advocates the ability to get specific items (like scratching boxes, tennis balls, and deshedding brushes) to survivors who can be hours away. These are real orders placed for our clients to pick up when their fur babies finally went home! Thank you to these donors who made these pick ups possible!

Thank you to @solicitorlisamariebristol and the Gwinnett Solicitors office for inviting us one again to be a beneficiary of the Dash 4 Domestic Violence 5k along with @padvatlanta and @mosaicgeorgia this past weekend.

Calling all Amazon Prime shoppers! There are SO many great deals on pet essentials that the furry friends in our program need. Want an easy way to make a difference during DVAM? Consider donating an item (or two!) from our wish list. Every donation helps provide comfort and care to pets who are part of our program. Link in bio! #DVAM2026 #WithSurvivors #DVActionMonth

Here at Ahimsa House we assist with any kind of pet! We work with partners and fosters who specialize in everything from reptiles to pocket pets, barnyard pals to our feathered friends! We know families can include all types and we will make sure those critters get the care they need during their stay with us.

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜how are you supporting survivors this October? #WithSurvivors #DVActionMonth #dvam2026 Georgia Agencies: @gcfv_ga @gcadv @livesaferesources @padvatlanta @wrcdv @securus_house @valdostahaven @hopeharbour_ @iwhatlanta @circle.of.hope.ga @ruthscottage_thepatticakehouse @safeshelter1 @gatewaydomesticviolencectr @sharehousedouglas (not exhaustive, feel free to tag other agencies in the comments) National Resources: @ndvhofficial @safehavensforpets @redroverorg

Thank you so much to @cityofjohnscreekgeorgia for hosting such a fun event this past weekend! There were so many lovely folks who we had the opportunity to chat with about the work we do at Ahimsa House and we got to see so many dogs in costumes (including so many sweet babies who are adoptable through @lifelineanimal) 10/10 event will be back next year!

A huge thank you to @solicitorlisamariebristol and the Gwinnett County Solicitor General’s Office for running this Dog Days of Summer Donation Drive and having us out today to talk about our work! We appreciate any opportunity to share our mission with new people. These beautifully presented supplies (please see the adorable cat and dog wrapping paper) will be so helpful to get the animals in our care get set up in their new homes 💜 We look forward to working with you for your events next month for DVAM and next year for another donation drive

Because one hard working dog feature wasn’t enough, presenting: the hardworking pups of the @gcfv_ga annual conference. If any of these pups have their own online presence please tag them in the comments 🦮

Recap of this year’s @gcfv_ga conference! While you’d imagine some of the content at a Family Violence Conference can get pretty heavy, it is always inspiring to see just how many incredible folks there are working to support survivors by making resources more streamlined and accessible and aiming to stop violence at its source by creating real social change through education initiatives. There are always such good connections to make! Thanks to all the attendees for their hard work and care for the people in Georgia and beyond who are impacted 💜

A huge thank you to @redsbeergarden for having us out this Sunday as the beneficiary of their Dog Days of Summer Bingo (bingo with the wonderful @friendlyneighborhoodbingoboy) We had so much fun hanging out in the sun, getting pictures with @diegothepetphotographer, eating treats from @the_caninecreamery and of course having a nice cold drink from Red’s incredible selection. Thanks to all our generous players we raise a little over $500 to help animal survivors of domestic violence seek safety with their families. 💜

WOW!! We had an incredible time at PARTY ANIMALS last weekend! We raised $3,096 thanks to our amazing audience. That’s about 150 nights of boarding for the animals in our care! We are already looking forward to being back in the beautiful @outfronttheatre for Party Animals 2 next summer! Thank you to the Out Front team for welcoming us into the space and helping this show run as smoothly as it did. A huge thank you to all our performers who brought such an amazing energy to this show, you truly brought the (dog) house down 💜 we couldn’t have done this without you! And I final thank you to all our lovely supporters! We hope you all enjoyed this show and we will see you next year for even more animal themes silliness 🐶🐓🐱🦥🐰🦩 📸: @jcbargerphotographer What animals do you want to see on stage next year?

Will we see you this Saturday at our first-ever PARTY ANIMALS - A Bark-lesque and Ca-purr-et Show?! The show will feature 13 animal-themed burlesque and cabaret acts, with ALL entry and tip proceeds benefiting Ahimsa House. We are so excited for this brand new event and can't wait to see you there! You can get more info and secure your spot in the audience on our website!

We are SO grateful to for Lisamarie Bristol Gwinnett Solicitor General's office for once again hosting a donation drive for Ahimsa House! Last year's drive was a huge success and replenished so many of our much-needed supplies! They're going even bigger this year by partnering with local Fire, Police, and Animal Welfare agencies to expand their community's impact. Donation collection boxes are available through July 31 at: • Gwinnett County Solicitor General's Office • Gwinnett Justice & Administration Center (GJAC) • Recorder's Court • Gwinnett County Police Department • Lawrenceville Police Department • Gwinnett County Animal Welfare & Enforcement Center • Swanky Paws • Hollywood Feed Thank you so, so much!

It's a sad day at Ahimsa House! Today is our last day with our Community Services Coordinator, Oné, before she heads off on her next adventure!! If you’ve met Oné at an outreach event, conference, meeting, or the Celebration, chances are she left you with the biggest smile! Oné first joined our team in 2019 as a Community Outreach Intern, and we were thrilled when she joined the staff full-time in 2022 to serve as our Community Services Advocate. She has been a passionate, dedicated, and effective advocate for human and animal survivors AND a spectacular representative of Ahimsa House in the community. She brings so much light to work that is often challenging and we will miss her presence deeply! However, we are thrilled that Oné gets to return home to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she’ll finish graduate school and put her compassion and talent to work serving the community in which she grew up. To our supporters, Oné says: “Thank you all for being a part of the wonderful memories that I have made in Atlanta. Ahimsa House will always have a special place in my heart!” If you haven't yet said your goodbyes, you can email her at one@ahimsahouse.org in the next few hours, or leave a message below! Oné, thank you for the incredible impact you've made on Ahimsa House and our community. We will miss you SO MUCH but can't wait to see what you do next.

Thanks to those that came out for our Beer & Bingo night at Glover Park Brewery 🍻

Will we see you tonight at Glover Park Brewery?! Bingo Boy is hosting Bingo from 7-9 PM and bingo card purchases benefit Ahimsa House! The brewery will be open from 4-10 PM and 10% of taproom sales will also go to Ahimsa House! We can't wait to see you there!!!

$100,314. That's how much you contributed to support human and animal survivors of domestic violence in Georgia... the most raised at ANY Joining Hands & Paws Celebration to date. These funds will have a tremendous impact, and we could not be more thankful for every single person that had a role in raising them. It was the most beautiful evening at Sinclair—who donated their gorgeous space—with Edge Design Group bringing our garden party to life. This 22nd anniversary Celebration would not have been possible without our amazing sponsors: Planisware, Wilson Lewis, Welliba, Macallan Construction, and Trooper & Jami Smith. Thank you so much to: Chelsea Pham and HK Audio Productions for editing videos shown during the program & creating original music for them; Zack Falls for DJing and providing an extensive sound setup; Kelly Embry Photography for capturing the evening; MixPro Events and Entertainment for the AV equipment; and Savannah Distributing for donating much of the alcohol we served. It was a pleasure to welcome auctioneer Jordan Campbell and his team to our Celebration family, and to once again have C. Parks Catering provide dinner. THANK YOU so much to the businesses and individuals that generously contributed to our auctions—our attendees were thrilled about the unique, exciting items available this year. To the amazing volunteers that dedicated their night to making this the best Celebration yet—we truly can’t thank you enough for your hard work and for the great environment you created! And to our staff who seamlessly transitioned into event mode while still operating life-saving programs that reach all 159 counties in GA: your dedication is unmatched. Noël, we are still in awe of your moving speech and are honored to know we played a small part in your journey. Thank you for your contributions to Ahimsa House, and for all you continue to do as an advocate and activist. Lastly, to those that attended the event or otherwise contributed toward its success: THANK YOU! Raising this milestone amount is an amazing achievement, but filling that room on a busy Saturday speaks so loudly to your dedication to helping families stay together through crisis.

Thank you to another one of our Rescue Sponsors, Wilson Lewis! We always look forward to celebrating with the Wilson Lewis team and are so grateful for all their generous support. If you want to celebrate with us, you'll need to act fast! Visit our website for more info and to secure your spot.

Spokespuppy Ruby wishes you all a warm and sunny Wednesday ☀️

We are SO excited to invite you to support Ahimsa House next Wednesday, 3/4, by playing Bingo!! Our friends @chambleeandvine (a pet-friendly wine tasting room!) and @friendlyneighborhoodbingoboy are hosting this monthly Bingo event and generously donating half of ticket proceeds to Ahimsa House! You can get your tickets at the link in our bio!

We’re in need of a few things currently, most importantly food bowls, cat litter and cat scoops. Please consider checking out our Amazon or Chewy wish list for other items we always need (link in bio or in the comments) 🐾 If you prefer to shop local, we are always happy to accept donation drop-offs at our office. Your support makes it possible for human and animal survivors to find safety together. Thank you!

Black History Month gives us the opportunity to celebrate Black culture and acknowledge the oppression people face due to the color of their skin. As domestic violence advocates, this is also an important time to reflect on the additional ways that survivors from marginalized groups are affected by DV and the unique barriers they face in seeking safety, and to reaffirm our commitment to providing inclusive and equitable services for all victims of DV in Georgia.

Happy Lunar New Year’s 🌙❤️ Intern Rosie wishes you all prosperity and wealth 🐾

AmbassaDOG Malone wishes you a Happy Valentine’s Day, on behalf of Ahimsa House and all our furry friends 💝

Now that our girl is back in the country from a well-deserved vacation, we would like to say HAPPY 10 YEAR AHIMSA HOUSE ANNIVERSARY, SAMANTHA! Samantha is the backbone of this organization! She’s an amazing problem solver with attention to detail, open-minded, humble, thoughtful, kind and someone who somehow figures out how to do literally everything. Our California girl is creative, hilarious, weird (in the best way), a dog whisperer, and goes above and beyond for everyone she knows! Sam also generously shares her adorable AmbassaDOGs and AmabassaCATs with the world. If you've met Sam, you already know all the things above. Here are a few facts you might NOT know. Sam: - holds a world record for number of apple pies returned in one day - LOVES The Greatest Showman - is a foot pic enthusiast - is the world's quietest chewer - saves bugs using her handy dandy bug kit (and removes bug bodies from the office) - juggles - has a knee twin - is the best Uncle Stham and Aunt Sami to adoring nieces, nephews, and Mandi Thank you for all you do, Sam!!!! We love you!!

We are so grateful for our network of foster homes that help house displaced pets while their owner escapes domestic violence. Our goal at Ahimsa House is to reunite pets and families once they’ve reached safety. Abusers often threaten to harm pets if the victim tries to leave. They also harm pets left behind as a way to retaliate or to coerce the victim into returning. Concern for a beloved companion animal’s welfare prevents or delays as many as 50% of battered individuals from escaping domestic abuse. Some escape but then attempt to return to a dangerous situation to reclaim pets left behind. At Ahimsa House, our organization helps survivors of domestic violence escape with their pets by temporarily housing their animal. If you’d like to get involved, visit our website, complete the volunteer application, and complete the steps to undergo a background check at no cost to you. Fostering changes lives and significantly increases the number of people and pets we can assist to safety.

Over the past few months, we've been working with an incredible volunteer to incorporate a Geographic Information System (GIS) into our work. As a statewide organization, we are especially excited to embrace this valuable opportunity to assess our statewide impact and improve our efforts to serve people and pets across Georgia. This map offers just a glimpse of how GIS will help us demonstrate our wide-reaching impact; at the link in this graphic, you can access an interactive dashboard that will allow you to explore county-level statistics on our crisis line and the services it provides, the numbers of people and pets assisted by our Direct Services Program, and the reach of our Community and Professional Outreach Program. We are SO excited to keep adding to this platform over the next several months!! You've heard a lot about the services we provide to pets -- vet care, safehousing, etc. -- so we've also included explanations of some of the services provided on our crisis line that can be found on the dashboard.

What a year it’s been. Thank you SO much for your support — together, we made a huge impact for people and pets escaping violence in Georgia. We’ll see you in 2026!

Santa says to support Ahimsa House in helping people and pets escape domestic violence together 📣🎅🏽 Did you see our booth at the Virginia Highlands Winterfest last weekend? 💜

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that made donations, created a fundraiser, or helped spread the word on Tuesday. Thanks to your support, we raised over $65,000 to help people and their pets escape domestic violence together -- our highest #GAgives on #GivingTuesday total yet! We hope to see you tonight at the City of Chamblee, GA Holiday Hoopla!! The event -- including photos with The Grinch, benefiting Ahimsa House -- has moved entirely indoors to make sure everyone stays warm and dry! Come see us between 5 and 8 PM at Chamblee City Hall!

Can you guess who is the longest?! If you get it right, you can donate $25 using the link in our bio. If you get it wrong, you can donate $50 using the link in our bio! GOOD LUCK!

We are elated to introduce our new SPOKESPUPPY.... RUBY!!!! Ruby has proven she has the expansive skillset required to represent Ahimsa House and all the important work we do. We are so excited to have Ruby on board through the holiday season and beyond!! We encourage you to make a donation to Ahimsa House in Ruby’s honor — we suggest $234, which is the approximate speed in miles per hour (MPH) of her celebratory zoomies (swipe to see them). Then, keep swiping to see the outfits and tricks our other incredible contestants would have submitted had they advanced through the bracket. We are SO thankful for all eight dogs that participated!!!

WE ARE SO SO SO CLOSE TO HALFWAY!!!! Every single contribution will help us help more people and pets reach safety. Please consider donating if you haven't already, and come back here in 30 minutes for the reveal of our new SPOKESPUPPY!!!

YOUR MONTH, YOUR ROSIE!!! SWIPE TO THE END TO SEE WHAT YOUR BIRTHDAY REVEALS ABOUT YOU!!! (We’re SOOOOO close to halfway to our @gagivesofficial on #GivingTuesday goal!!!)

Without you, our work — including reunifications like this one — would not be possible. Thank you for your endless dedication to helping people and pets in Georgia reach safety from domestic violence together. We are almost halfway to our goal of raising $100,000 and all donations are still being doubled!! Every dollar brings us one step closer to ensuring that survivors won’t need to choose between their own safety and that of a beloved pet in order to escape violence.

Pick your Katsu and scroll to see what it means about you! Once you make it to the end, be sure to tell us which Katsu you chose!

It's 5 oclock somewhere (here)! Or if you're more of a spirits person, it's not too late to make it to our Yappy Hour at ASW (at The Battery) taking place from 5-8PM tonight! If you're staying home, we hope you'll help us keep celebrating as the donations keep rolling in!!
