Pet adoption options at LifeLine include no-fee adoptions for veterans all year and, through Nov.18, cat lovers can adopt a new feline friend for only $9.
Up to 80,000 puppies, adult dogs, cats and kittens are euthanized in shelters in the metro area each year, making Atlanta one of the biggest "kill cities" in the nation. Why? The reason is singular, stark and heartbreaking. These thousands of pets are killed simply because they don't have homes. Not only can you save two lives when you adopt a pet from a shelter (the life of the dog or cat you adopt and the life of a homeless animal who gets the space that your new pet once occupied) but at LifeLine Animal Project this month, there are extremely affordable options for adoption. Veterans and current enlisted military can always adopt for free at LifeLine as part of their Pets Helping Vets program and, up until November 18, cat lovers can …

Maverick went from stray on the streets to safe in a no-kill shelter. Now he's in training to be of service to a veteran with PTSD--Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced that as of October 5, they would no longer cover the costs involved with assigning service animals to war veterans with mental disabilities. In an announcement made in September they stated the VA would continue to provide service dogs for people with visual, hearing or mobility impairments but cited lack of data that service animals supply any real medical benefit to vets battling mental issues, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). "Real world" data would tend to contradict the new VA policy on this subject, but nevertheless, if a veteran with PTSD wants or requires a service dog, they are now responsible for the cost themselves. However, in Atlanta, for one vet battling a …

Want to foster a tiny furball in your home for a few weeks? LifeLine Animal Project would appreciate your help.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Kittens. Lots and lots of kittens! There are so many cute young cats at LifeLine Animal Project this summer that the rescue and advocacy organization is hoping some kind hearted folks will open their doors to them and foster some for a short period. This caboodle of kittens at LifeLine needs some time in a home environment in order to build social skills and also the immunity they lack until they get a little older. The streets are a harsh place for baby animals, a place where they often don't survive. A shelter is so much better but when animals are very young they are very susceptible to disease. Many of the kittens available for adoption or foster are still in process of getting a series of preventative …

Rescued dogs and cats can be teacher's pets in June when LifeLine waives all adoption fees for educators and school administrators in Georgia.
Georgia schools are quickly wrapping up another school year but LifeLine Animal Project in Avondale Estates wants to spend some of the dog days of summer honoring the teaching profession. To express appreciation for educators in Georgia, from pre-K to post-grad, the 10-year-old Atlanta non-profit is waiving their standard $80-$120 pet adoption fees for teachers throughout the month of June and allowing them to adopt a pet for free. "We have several excellent volunteers at LifeLine who are teachers and we have a true appreciation for what these men and women do for society," said Deb Setzer, who serves as community outreach director for LifeLine and whose mother is also a teacher. LifeLine recently participated in after-school enrichment …
