In an effort to increase adoptions for the 1200 homeless animals in their care, LifeLine Animal Project is rolling out free adoptions on hundreds of pets in September, according to a press release. Through its “Treat Yourself” adoption campaign the hope is to find forever homes for these animals. These special pets are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to leave the shelter. The promotion encourages people to treat themselves to a lifetime of love by adopting a shelter pet.
According to LifeLine Chief Marketing Officer Heather Friedman, treating yourself to the gift of pet adoption can reap life-changing rewards.
“During the summer months, we experience an influx of pets filling our shelters. It’s the perfect time to remind everyone that adopting a pet not only saves a life, but it fills human lives with unpredictable joy and unconditional love as well,” she said.
LifeLine shelters participating in the promotion include:
- LifeLine Dog House & Kitty Motel, 129 Lake Street, Avondale Estates,
- LifeLine Cat Adoption Center, 3172 E Ponce de Leon Ave, Scottdale,
- DeKalb County Animal Services, 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Chamblee
- Fulton County Animal Services, 860 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta
A nonprofit founded in 2002, LifeLine Animal Project provides lifesaving solutions to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in county shelters. LifeLine manages DeKalb and Fulton County Animal Services, where it has increased adoptions by 300 percent, and operates a private rehabilitative shelter and two LifeLine Spay & Neuter Clinics.
LifeLine provides services to over 30,000 animals annually and has performed nearly 113,000 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries to date, including 37,720 stray/feral cats through its Community Cat program, metro Atlanta’s first and largest trap-neuter-return program. LifeLine’s community outreach improves the standard of care for animals in the community and helps prevent pet overpopulation.
