THE CANCER ANSWERTM IN YOUR HOMETOWN

Pet Pick

Boris is as charming as he is good looking! He loves all people though, due to his size and playful attitude, we ask that he not go home with anyone younger than 12 years old. He is a smart dog and picks up on training quickly. He stays fit and happy by taking lots of walks right now, but he would be okay learning to run, hike, or chase a ball as long as you were right there with him. To adopt Boris, visit the PAWS website at pawsatlanta.org or visit the shelter at 5287 Covington Highway in Decatur.

Helping families impacted by domestic abuse is the 2017 goal for Morris, Manning & Martin’s MMMPact committee. Every year MMMPact – the Buckhead law firm’s social responsibility outreach – embraces a different nonprofit organization. This year’s nonprofit partner is Ahimsa House (ahimsahouse.org), which helps domestic abuse victims and their pets escape violence. The nonprofit, which was founded by a survivor of domestic violence, finds temporary homes for pets for up to 60 days. “Nobody should have to choose between their safety and a beloved pet,” said Ahimsa House Executive Director Myra Rasnick. “We also go to court with victims to get protective orders and provide follow-up care. We are very excited to engage with the firm and get the word out about what we do.”

Pets Are Loving Support (P.A.L.S.) is seeking a new executive director. The nonprofit provides ongoing care and support for pets who belong to people living with critical illness, disability and the elderly. For more information, visit palsatlanta.org.

History Repeating

The old Georgia Archives Building in Downtown Atlanta was imploded on March 5 to make way for a new state judicial complex. Located on Capitol Avenue near the Downtown Connector, the “White Ice Cube” was the state’s repository for historical documents from 1965 to 2003. After structural issues were discovered, a new state archive building was constructed near Clayton State University in Morrow. Our contributing photographer Asep Mawardi was on hand for the dawn demolition and captured these images.
