LifeLine Animal Project Has Reached the No-Kill Threshold At Our County Shelters. Please Help Us Sustain a No-Kill Atlanta!

Summer is an extremely busy time LifeLine Animal Project’s shelters as we continue to care for over 800 animals! Since we don’t turn pets away at our county shelters, they are considered open-intake shelters. Did you know that LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services (DCAS) and Fulton County Animal Services (FCAS) shelters are the first open intake shelters in metro Atlanta’s history to reach the no-kill threshold (defined as saving 90% or more of the animals who enter the shelter)? We are thrilled to have achieved this, but with the high number of pets coming into the shelters each day (up to 40 at each shelter), we cannot sustain this no-kill level without your help.

You can help us significantly by adopting, fostering from the DeKalb or Fulton shelters or by spaying/neutering your pet. One of the dogs you can adopt is our Pet of the Week, below.

LifeLine’s DeKalb Shelter Pet of the Week: Banjo

If Banjo could text, he’d insert smiley :) emojis all over the message. This two-year-old boy is one happy guy, and his upbeat personality is contagious! He literally skips with joy when is taken out for walks, making everyone around him melt. Banjo loves everybody, gets along great with other dogs and is adored by all who meet him. He is already neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, so he can go home with you today. He is crate trained too! Come meet this joyful boy today, and you’ll still be able to take advantage of our July adoption fee of $17.76! Simply visit at 845 Camp Road in Decatur, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call (404) 294-2165.
