Christmas Came Early to LifeLine Animal Project!

334 adoptions over Black Friday weekend and Anisa International's Matching Grant have put holiday smiles on all of our faces!

Christmas came early for employees of LifeLine Animal Project, the managing organization for DeKalb County Animal Services (DCAS) and Fulton County Animal Services (FCAS). Over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, 334 homeless pets found their forever families! Adoptions included 230 dogs and 107 cats and were generously sponsored by Zappos.com and North Shore Animal League. We are so thankful to everyone who heeded our message to "Adopt don't shop," and gave a shelter animal a loving home!

We also received some exciting news from Atlanta-based Anisa International! Thanks to Anisa December donations to LifeLine will help us save twice the lives! For the sixth consecutive year, Anisa will match every dollar donated – up to $50,000 – through December 31, 2017.

Anisa International, a global leader in the design and creation of unique beauty tools and solutions, recognizes LifeLine’s impact on the Metro Atlanta area and is proud to be a committed partner in their fight to make Atlanta a no-kill community.

What can we say about a girl who name describes her perfectly? Meet Precious, a polite senior lady whose heart is full of love! Precious enjoys most everything, but some of her favorite activities include taking slow walks, being bathed and hanging out outside. However the thing she enjoys most is being showered with attention! This sweetie is also terrific with all other dogs, so if you already have one, she’d make an excellent sister! Come meet precious at LifeLine’s DeKalb County shelter today by dropping by 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, emailing adoptions@dekalbanimalservices.com or calling (404) 294-2165.
