Who We Are

A Leader in Animal Welfare

Based in Atlanta, LifeLine Animal Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission of ending the shelter euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. We are the largest animal welfare organization in Georgia. LifeLine manages the Fulton and DeKalb County Animal shelters as well as provides enforcement services for Fulton County.

We look at the root causes of animal homelessness and work with our community to provide accessible pet care. Our goal is to keep people and pets together. If you are looking to add a cat or dog to your home, visit a LifeLine shelter today. From spay/neuter services to general wellness care, LifeLine also has top-notch veterinary care at affordable prices.

LifeLine Animal Project is a nationally lauded leader in animal welfare and the largest animal welfare organization in Georgia. Since its inception, LifeLine has taken a strategic approach to create a safety net for companion animals at risk, both in our shelters and in our community. Thanks to the leadership and vision of LifeLine founder and CEO Rebecca Guinn, LifeLine has transformed the way metro Atlanta cares for animals in need, and annually, tens of thousands of animals are no longer euthanized in Atlanta area shelters.

Changing Animal Welfare

To make significant changes in animal welfare, LifeLine:

  • Opened the LifeLine Community Animal Center in 2019. It  features a full-service, low-cost, affordable veterinary clinic.
  • Expanded our shelter services, creating a Community Support team that helps struggling pet owners keep their pets.
  • Was selected to pioneer a nationwide Human Animal Support Services (HASS) initiative. And, we worked on significant transformations in animal welfare and lifesaving for Atlanta.
