Who We Are
All Paws Considered is an all volunteer
non-profit(501-C3), no-kill pet rescue organization
licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
Our goal is to rescue neglected, abused and homeless
animals and provide them with needed medical care
and rehabilitation until their permanent home can
be found. We have a small network of foster homes
and try to help as many animals as we can, including
those that are ill or have physical disabilities.
All of our pets are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
They are also up-to-date on all vaccinations. We
are dedicated to helping our adoptable animals find
good homes where they will be safe, well cared for
and loved for the rest of their lives. All Paws
Considered was started by a mother-daughter team
in July of 2001 after finding two stray dogs. "Shep"
and "Buddy" were found in our neighborhood
in terrible shape. Both were severely malnourished,
had heartworm, and appeared to have had a very rough
life for being such young dogs. Numerous attempts
were made to locate owners--all were unsuccessful.
Knowing what would happen to them if taken to the
local shelter forced us to take matters into our
own hands. So here we are today, APC Rescue, started
out from the love we had for our German "SHEP"herd
and his little "BUDDY" .
Adopting a Friend
If you are interested in adopting a new family member
from our organization, please contact us by telephone
or e-mail so we can send you an application questionnaire.
We will then review the application with you. Home
checks are REQUIRED prior to every adoption. Adoption
fees vary ($150 to $200) depending on medical expenses
provided, which includes initial vet exam, spay/neuter,
vaccinations, heartworm and fecal tests.
Come Visit Us!
Showings are held at PetSmart on Johnson Ferry Road
in Marietta (East Cobb County). Please call for
dates and times. Because we require home checks,
we cannot do out-of-state adoptions. Animals may
also be seen by appointment. Donations are appreicated
and are tax deductible. We need crates of all sizes,
fences, leashes, collars and bowls, food, etc. The
rescue and rehab process, while extremely rewarding,
is incredibly costly and our resources are forever
depleted. There are so many homeless animals that
need our help and with the support of concerned
individuals, we can do so much more.
