LifeLine Animal Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Georgia’s largest animal welfare organization, caring for more than 46,000 animals each year. We operate DeKalb and Fulton County Animal Services, Atlanta’s only open-intake shelters, where no animal is turned away. Our mission is to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals through innovative sheltering, accessible veterinary care, and community support programs that save lives both inside and outside the shelter.

Beyond sheltering, LifeLine runs Georgia’s largest pet retention and prevention programs, providing low-cost spay and neuter services, affordable and free veterinary care, pet food assistance, and other critical resources that help families keep their pets healthy and at home. As the only organization in Atlanta working on both sides of the issue—saving animals in shelters while preventing homelessness before it begins—LifeLine relies on charitable support to sustain and expand this lifesaving work.
