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 euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in county shelters. 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.

Changing Animal Welfare
To make significant changes in animal welfare, LifeLine:
- Began managing the high-kill, open-admission DeKalb and Fulton County Animal Services shelters in 2013. We are now sustaining no-kill levels at both shelters.
- Expanded our foster program by placing 50% of our pets in foster homes. Pets thrive in homes, not in shelters.
- Operates two clinics, which have performed over 150,000 free or low-cost spay/neuter surgeries. These services prevent many unwanted pets.
- Provided thousands of pets with free veterinary care and supplies each year. We make pet care accessible to all and help people keep the pets they love.
- 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.
- Is a nationally-recognized leader and the largest animal welfare organization in Georgia.
As the largest animal welfare organization in Atlanta, LifeLine is working with our community to redefine humane in everything we do. That includes keeping people and pets together, enriching the lives of shelter animals and helping more pets return home.
