LifeLine Animal Project Presents our Amazing DeKalb Pet of the Week!

Did you know that LifeLine Animal Project cared for 15,559 animals in 2014? That’s 43 animals each day! So it’s up to us to find ways to constantly save lives. And we’re doing it again! Throughout October, we are extending our “Fall in Love” FREE Adoption promotion at all of the four shelters we manage:

DeKalb County Animal Services

Fulton County Animal Services

LifeLine’s Dog House & Kitty Motel

LifeLine’s Cat Adoption Center

Our FREE adoptions include any puppy, kitten, dog or cat, plus their spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines – all at no charge to you!

Why do we do this? Because more people adopt during this promotion than almost any other time! Last month during our fee-waived promotion, we had 330 adoptions at our DeKalb shelter and 320 adoptions at our Fulton shelter! This is so important, because during the summer, we get 20 to 40 pets coming into each shelter every single day! And numerous studies that have followed pets after adoption show that free adoptions do not compromise the quality of care that the animals receive after adopted. Additionally, we screen all potential adopters to make sure the pets are going to good homes.

How can we afford to do this? Generous funders, including individuals and foundations, make donations to support our programs like this that save lives. And over 740 lives were saved last month alone through adoptions at our four shelters!

So why not join our supporters, and adopt one of the wonderful pets from our shelters? Maybe the following pet:

LifeLine’s DeKalb County Pet of the Week: Karen

Karen is the kind of dog who is hard to resist! If her adorably goofy face and cute floppy ears don’t win you over, her happy personality and love for people and other dogs will. This four-year-old girl greets everyone she meets with a toothy smile and wagging tail. Karen loves to play with toys and is very treat motivated. Her good nature makes her very versatile. She’d do great in a home with other dogs or as the only child. If you do have other dogs, you are welcome to bring them to our shelter play yard to let them meet Karen and see for yourself what a sweet sibling she will be. Please come meet this sweetheart, and find out why we all adore her. Remember, Karen is free during October, including her spay, vaccines and microchip!

To meet Karen, Simply drop by the shelter at 845 Camp Road in Decatur, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call (404) 294-2165. To view other pets available for adoption, please drop by the shelter or visit www.dekalbanimalservices.com.
