About us

Founded in 2002, 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. 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, LifeLine has focused on community-driven approaches to neighborhood reinvestment and public safety through programs designed to increase both human and animal welfare. LifeLine has run its own private shelter since 2003, focusing primarily on animals who have been victims of abuse or neglect, and seeing approximately 500 dogs and cats come through its doors each year. At the LifeLine Spay & Neuter Clinics, over 80,000 dogs and cats have been fixed at low or no cost to owners. Via its volunteer-run trap-neuter-return program, Catlanta, the lives of over 25,000 feral and community cats have been saved. Further, at LifeLine community pet wellness days each year, thousands of pet owners receive free vaccinations and other much-needed resources. In early 2013, LifeLine took action in order to have an even broader impact on Atlanta’s homeless pet population. The organization was awarded the contracts to manage both the Fulton County Animal Services and DeKalb County Animal Services. LifeLine is already making tremendous and measurable progress at both county facilities, having lowered the euthanasia rate at each by over 50% in a short period of time. Over 12,000 animals were adopted, rescued or returned to their owners from the Fulton and DeKalb shelters in 2014! LifeLine is actively on its way to making its ultimate goal a reality: converting metro Atlanta into a no-kill community that prioritizes saving the lives of its homeless pets by 2016.
