Mission Statement
Founded in 2002 and now managing DeKalb and Fulton County Animal Services, LifeLine Animal Project is the leading non-profit organization working to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in metro Atlanta shelters. Together, we will make Atlanta a no-kill community.
About This Cause
LifeLine Animal Project (LifeLine) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. LifeLine is working to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in metro Atlanta shelters and is the managing organization of Fulton County Animal Services and the DeKalb County Animal Services shelter. From the very beginning, LifeLine has worked to assess the needs of Atlanta’s animal welfare community and provide innovative, strategic resources in support of its mission to end shelter euthanasia of homeless animals. Rather than reinforce traditional models of animal control and sheltering, which historically have not served the animals well, LifeLine has focused on community-driven approaches to neighborhood reinvestment and public safety through programs designed to increase both human and animal welfare. LifeLine opened the LifeLine Community Animal Center in Atlanta, GA in 2019. The Community Animal Center is an adoption destination and a state-of-the-art, full-service, affordable veterinary clinic — offering affordable care from minor surgery and dental work to x-rays and diagnostics. There are many areas in Atlanta that have little access to low- or no-cost vet care. By offering affordable, proactive wellness care, we can prevent many more animals from being unnecessarily surrendered or abandoned. From sheltering and enrichment to community programs that keep people and pets together, LifeLine is working to redefine humane. The organization strives to change the status quo for animals in our communities and shelters to improve not only the standards but the accessibility to needed resources. LifeLine cares for over 40,000 animals each year and has made tremendous and measurable progress at both county facilities. Lifesaving rates were only 39% in Fulton and 61% in DeKalb in 2013; now they range between 85% and 93% each month. Over 14,000 animals were adopted, rescued or returned to their owners from the Fulton and DeKalb shelters in 2019! LifeLine is actively on its way to making its ultimate goal a reality: transforming metro Atlanta into a no-kill community that prioritizes saving the lives of its homeless pets.
