LifeLine Animal Project recently took over the management of DeKalb Animal Services (DAS), and we want everyone to know about the great animals available for adoption at the shelter! We have dogs and cats that are every size, breed and age imaginable, along with a knowledgeable, caring staff to assist you. But why should you adopt from our facility instead of a breeder or pet store? Here are a few good reasons.
Adopt from the shelter, and not only will you be saving the life of a wonderful animal, but you’ll also be freeing up space for another homeless pet.
2. The Variety of Pets is UnmatchedUnlike breeders who only have one breed of dog or cat, we have so many different kinds of animals that you can pick the perfect one for your family and situation.

Adopting a pet from an animal shelter costs much less than buying a pet at a pet store or from a breeder. In addition, animals from our shelter are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, so you don’t have to pay for that either
If your heart is set on a purebred dog, we have them too. You can visit our website at www.dekalbanimalservices.com to see if we have the animal you’re looking for.

If you don’t have time for a puppy or kitten, we have many adult pets who are already potty trained and know basic commands.
5. You’ll be Part of the Solution
Atlanta has a serious pet overpopulation problem with way too many animals ending up at shelters. By adopting, you’ll be part of the solution.
Now that you know why you should adopt, why not adopt one of the following dogs?
