DCAS Pets Ask Santa for the Best Present Ever! Bring a Pet Home for the 'Pawlidays' for a Fantastic Price!

Are you getting excited about the holidays?  Do you hope you’ll get everything you asked for?  Our shelter pets have a few gifts they’d like to receive as well and are asking for Santa’s help.  They want:  a safe, warm place to live, a soft bed to sleep in at night and, most importantly, someone to love and care about them.  In return, they’ll give unconditional love, adoration and loyalty like you’ve never seen.  But don’t take my word for it, almost everyday, LifeLine Animal Project receives comments like this from our adopters:

I adopted this sweet baby "Craig" a week ago from animal services. He has been a giant ball of love and I am so thankful to have him in my life. Thank you for all that you do in helping animals find their forever homes!

If you’d like to play Santa and make a shelter pet’s wishes come true, DeKalb County Animal Services (DCAS) and LifeLine Animal Project have made it even more enticing:  from now until the end of the month, you can bring home any cat or kitten for only $10 or any dog or puppy for only $20 through our ‘Home for the Pawlidays’ promotion.

DCAS Pets of the Week:  Camilla and Thomas 

One of the great dogs you can adopt for only $20 is Camilla, a beautiful, two-year-old girl who is all white except for two black patches around her eyes which makes her look adorable!  Sweet and intelligent, Camilla loves people, is good with kids and has a loving disposition.  She also gets along well with other dogs.

One of the cats you can adopt for only $10 is Thomas, a stunning, three-year-old boy.  Thomas has a fluffy white and gray coat and beautiful green eyes.  He is a very friendly guy who loves attention.  And everyone who sees Thomas comments on how handsome he is.
