Last night, Fulton County Animal Services took in

Last night, Fulton County Animal Services took in 9 more dogs, pushing us beyond our weekly target population of 375. As an open-intake shelter, we welcome every animal in need from our community, but with each new day comes more pets relying on us for care.

To continue providing a humane and safe environment for all our dogs, we urgently need to find homes for at least 12 of our pups by tomorrow at 8 PM. Adopting or fostering even one dog can make a life-saving difference for them and the many others who will follow.

Please help us save lives. Share, adopt, or foster today! #AdoptATL #SaveLives Fulton County Animal Services

539 dogs are now in our shelter, which means we need to find homes for at least 39 dogs by tomorrow at 8pm to meet our target population of 500.

We’ve asked many times for adoptions or fosters, but no one can make a difference like you can. Even fostering for just a few days can reduce stress and boost a dog’s chances of getting adopted.

Can’t bring a pup home? Share this message with friends and family. Sometimes, all it takes is one post to help a dog find the loving home they deserve.

Our team is ready to help these dogs find a home today at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody road.

POV: You’re just trying to work, but your new friend Flora has decided you’re her person.

This little flower follows me everywhere, gives unlimited hugs, and kisses. But refuses to take ‘I can’t adopt yet’ for an answer! 😂

With her gorgeous caramel and white coat, dazzling eyes, and heart full of love, Flora is ready to be someone’s new best friend. She’s a sweetheart who loves pets, treats, and walks great on a leash. She’s even lived with another dog! Could she be your new shadow? Come meet her today at DeKalb County Animal Services! 🌸🐶

Update! After spending four years with LifeLine An

Update! After spending four years with LifeLine Animal Project, our longest resident, Benjamin, is finally living the good life in his forever home! His adopter made the incredible journey all the way from Florida to bring him home, and Benjamin has been thriving ever since.

He’s adjusting beautifully to life outside the shelter, enjoying truck rides, sunny backyard lounging, and plenty of walks. Belly rubs and back scratches are a daily delight, and he’s already figured out where the treats are kept!

A recent wellness check confirmed that Benjamin is in great health, and his adopter is grateful for the loving care he received at LifeLine.

Benjamin’s story is a testament to the power of patience, love, and second chances. No matter how long they wait, every shelter dog deserves a happy ending, and we’re overjoyed to see Benjamin finally living his best life!

Happy Lunar New Year from Brioche! After 16 months

Happy Lunar New Year from Brioche! After 16 months at LifeLine's Community Animal Center, this handsome boy is settling into his new foster home and is enjoying welcoming the Year of the Snake with his foster.

Brioche's foster says that he is very companionable and affectionate -- he loves getting pets! While he prefers quiet rest, he does get occasional zoomies in the backyard and loves going on walks. He is well behaved and easy to handle on the leash, and he loves meeting other dogs.

Brioche is a perfect mix of good looks and smarts. Not only does he have a gorgeous coat and brown eyes that are sure to melt your heart -- he also knows several commands and is perfectly house-trained. Truly the best of both worlds!

Learn more about Brioche at https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/23c08208-731f-4762-8044-c9facf9bbf7b?tracking=07cc63f6-fb0d-44e7-88f2-31cd3fa0f113
