There are currently 497 dogs in our overcrowded shelter, and Major Potato is one of them. This low energy pup is all about lounging in the grass, soaking up sunshine, and flashing his charming smile. He’s the kind of dog who’d rather snooze through a movie marathon than chase a tennis ball. With his chill vibes and squishy face, Major Potato would make the perfect couch companion for lazy Sunday.

This sweet bo is in urgent need of a foster or adopter. Come meet him today at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road and bring home the king of chill!

Want to make a real impact on the lives of animals in need? Volunteering with LifeLine Animal Project is a rewarding way to give back and make a difference!

Whether it’s walking dogs, spending time with cats, or helping at events, there’s something for everyone to help with. We also welcome groups from local businesses and organizations. For example, a team from the Home Depot recently volunteered with us, updating our conference room, installing visual barriers for the kennels, and spreading mulch around the property. Their efforts greatly improved the shelter for our animals and staff.

Volunteering is essential to the mission of LifeLine Animal Project. Are you in? Visit LifeLineAnimal.org/volunteer to get started today!
