Introducing the one and only... Relish! He is currently in a foster home but they are hoping to find him his new family as soon as possible so that he does not have to return to the shelter. Here's a bit of what they've learned about Relish: 🐾 His obsession for his very own basket full of tennis balls is the cutest thing 🐶 He is still a puppy (a little over a year old and 55 pounds) 🏉 He loves playing fetch, he gets the zoomies everytime they go out to the park 😴 He sleeps throughout the night and loves his nap time as long as he has his pajamas on, blankets, and his favorite tennis ball. 💙 He doesn't mind the Roomba at all, which is why he gets extra kisses from his foster mom who likes to clean all day. 🐶 Relish is okay with some dogs and would thrive in a home with low energy dog-pals, he would also be fine with no dogs because he loves attention from his humans. If you can help Relish, inquire further at bit.ly/AdoptRelishASAP!

Our teams are doing everything they can to find pets the loving homes they deserve. We have stretched the shelter capacity and resources to unsustainable limits and the animals in our care, Atlanta's animals, deserve to be in a home where they can feel safe and share the love they hold in their hearts. We want to match you with your future best friend, so this month all adoption fees are 50% off and next weekend, Friday, October 27 through Sunday, October 29, adoption fees will be waived. Please foster or adopt a dog so they can leave the shelter behind. You will truly be saving their life. Pets pictured, all adoptable from our LifeLine Midtown location at 981 Howell Mill Road: Sammi, Jean, Jacket, Koolio, Gene Pool, April, Nuggets, and Elegance.

A Letter From Our CEO --- Please visit a LifeLine shelter to adopt or foster ASAP to save a life. Learn more and see available pets at LifeLineAnimal.org.

Fauna came into our care about 3 months ago and immediately our volunteers knew that when Fauna looks at you with her big eyes, you can see all of the love she holds. Fauna is around 4 years old and has been described as a gentle, sweet soul. She has been in foster for a few weeks and is finishing up her last few days of antibiotics for bronchopneumonia. With that recovery has come a lot of energy for this little 45lb. gal. She has discovered fetch, loves treats, and is working on her crate-training and house-training. She is an inquisitive little pup and would do best with someone who is active or likes to be outdoors. She has done well with meeting other dogs and loves to be loved. Fauna just needs you~ Set up a meet & greet with Fauna and her foster family at bit.ly/AdoptFauna.

Shy dog, Iris, arrived in the care of our @dekalbanimals shelter last year at the age of 10. We discovered he had a number of health issues and would need a patient, loving home to help him with his special medical needs. At the same time, U.S. Navy veteran, Deirdre, felt called to adopt a pet and save a life. She learned about the @petsforpatriots program through the Dekalb County Animal Services website and soon after met Iris! She was undeterred by his special needs and finalized the adoption almost immediately. Iris has truly blossomed in his new home! Deirdre shared, "Adopting Iris has changed my life for the better. It really does feel good to see the daily benefits of literally saving a life. Iris is no longer skittish, his coat looks healthier. He runs, gets excited, and even wags his tail." Pets for Patriots does incredible work supporting our community's veterans when bringing home a new companion and makes the adoption process a very special one. We are proud of this ongoing partnership to help both people and pets in need of love and emotional support!
