Empathy, Kindness & Compassion
Atlanta Rescue Dog Cafe is an educational non-profit dedicated to the well-being of the community’s pets and people. Our innovative and engaging pet therapy, humane education, and community-building programs (now available virtually) emphasize such values as: empathy, kindness, and compassion.
Since 2018, we've reached nearly 30,000 participants throughout the U.S., in more than 20 countries, and on six continents. More than 70% are children, and approximately 60% are in Title One schools and under-served communities.
Our "One Leash Project" has re-purposed more than 6,000 pounds of climbing rope material into dog leashes. The leashes are provided for free to police officers and firefighters to help keep pets in homes, off the streets, and out of shelters.

Conversation and Community
We're a "cafe" in the sense that a cafe is where conversation and community come together, and we're trying to generate conversation on what we - as a community - can do to promote positive human-pet relationships, prevent animal cruelty, and keep pets from ever entering shelters.
While our programs currently take place in educational, community, and corporate settings, our goal is to one day have a non-profit cafe with a dedicated educational space. And that would make us very happy.
