About Us

PaisleyBARK Atlanta. officially launched in the Atlanta area 2022. However, rescue has been a part of everyday life for our Founder over the past 15 years. Amire K. Gibson, Founder, Owner and President, is committed to providing the best quality life for all animals. Holding a Master’s Degree in Psychology with a specialization in behavior, Amire has combined her degree with her love and passion for Pitbulls that sets her apart from the rest. Although Amire is originally from California, she has resided in the Atlanta area for over 25+ years. Rescue has become a growing industry, unfortunately not for the better as the need for support with Pitbulls in crisis continues to soar. There are so many homeless dogs in general nationwide. Dogs are being euthanized at shelters at alarming rates, simply to make space for more. A significant number of those dogs are Pitbulls, Pit Mixes and Bully Breeds.

PaisleyBARK Atlanta is a volunteer-based 501(c)3 Animal Rescue, sanctuary and community outreach organization. We strive to promote responsible Pitbull ownership, combat Pitbull overpopulation, provide education related to bully breeds, and find qualified homes for those in need. PaisleyBARK Atlanta is committed to fighting unfair legislation against bully breeds, specifically breed restrictions and bans against bully breeds nationwide. Although we are an organization, we are also a community of people who have love and compassion for a breed that is often discriminated against, mistreated and neglected.
