We are a non-profit organization - 501 (c) 3 - licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture to assist with homeless and/or abused animals. Canine Adoption Network is a group of dedicated individual foster homes that work to better the lives of companion animals. Our experience as animal rescuers and pet owners has given us first hand knowledge of the desperate plight of companion animals in today's society. Our mission is to place the animals that we are able to assist in the very best possible homes, no matter how long that may take.

We are a group of foster homes in North Metro Atlanta, GA.

All our dogs live in our nurturing foster homes and are socialized with other animals. They are not kept in kennels. All dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm prevention prior to adoption.
