Every Paw Deserves a Home

In an average year, Atlas Animal Rescue saves close to 100 dogs. For 2026, they hope to double that number. The nonprofit spends roughly $150,000 a year on medical, training, food, and transportation. To double that adoption number, they are looking to raise $300,000 to expand their reach and impact and save more dogs. 

With time, dedication, love, and the help of dog lovers looking to adopt rather than shop, Emily Everett-Nelson, Founder of Atlas Animal Rescue, is making sure that every dog that comes to Atlas finds a loving, forever home.
