LifeLine Animal Project

LifeLine Animal Project, founded in 2002, is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization's mission is to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in metro Atlanta shelters. LifeLine has taken innovative steps by focusing on community-driven approaches to increase both human and animal welfare, rather than reinforcing traditional models of animal control and sheltering. The organization has achieved significant milestones since its inception, operating its private shelter and spay & neuter clinics, fixing over 80,000 dogs and cats at low or no cost to owners, and saving the lives of over 25,000 feral and community cats through its trap-neuter-return program, Catlanta. Furthermore, LifeLine conducts community pet wellness days annually, providing free vaccinations and resources to thousands of pet owners. In 2013, LifeLine was awarded contracts to manage both the Fulton County Animal Services and DeKalb County Animal Services, enabling the organization to have a broader impact on Atlanta's homeless pet population. Notably, LifeLine has significantly lowered the euthanasia rate at each county facility and facilitated the adoption, rescue, or return of over 12,000 animals from the shelters in 2014. The notable grant investment from Banfield Foundation in June 15, 2023 represents a pivotal point for LifeLine Animal Project, marking continued support for its mission and activities. With its measurable progress and ambitious goal of converting metro Atlanta into a no-kill community prioritizing the lives of homeless pets by 2016, LifeLine stands as a promising organization in the animal welfare space.
