Volunteer run page, not official LifeLine, to showcase LL fosters & those needing foster homes. I’m a volunteer and foster mom for LifeLine Animal Project.

I share information about foster animals-mainly from LifeLine-animals in urgent need of foster homes, and resources for those who adopt shelter animals.

Meet Tyson, a 6-year-young gentleman who's ready to steal your heart--and your ball! 💕 At just 40 pounds, this perfect-sized pup is looking for his forever family OR an amazing foster home to continue his journey to adoption (foster takeover or adoption).

Why he's absolutely amazing:
🏠 Move-in ready: Potty trained, non-destructive, and can free-roam safely
🧠 Smart cookie: Already knows basic commands and is eager to learn more
🚶‍♂️ Perfect companion: Great on leash and loves car rides
🎾 Entertainment included: Fetch champion and treat-catching pro who can also self-entertain
🤝 Social butterfly: Dog-friendly and gets along great with others
😌 Ideal energy level: Happy as a couch potato but always up for playtime
❤️ Sweet personality: Independent yet affectionate - will actually ask for pets!
🔇 Quiet companion: Generally calm and quiet in the house
🕵️ Curious explorer: Loves investigating new sights and sounds
He should be breed restriction friendly - perfect for apartments or HOA communities!

This gentle soul is the complete package: smart, well-behaved, loving, and ready to be someone's loyal companion. He's proven he can adapt well to many different situations. Whether you're looking to adopt or foster, this special boy is ready for you!

Tyson NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO LAND by the end of the month or he heads back to LifeLine's Community Animal Center (Atlanta). It's not a bad place to be, but that takes away a much-needed spot for a local shelter dog in need.

Meet Solomon!
His foster mom can’t stop raving about him. “He is the absolute sweetest guy!! His personality is so fun! He is a total goofball (known to fall off the couch or trip over his own paws occasionally while running through the yard). He’s a great walking companion, but more than anything he loves to cuddle. He will curl up right next to you and be happy as can be.

“He is such a sweet boy and I really want him to find a happy home. I can’t believe how loving and joyful he is despite his rough start (found as a stray, adopted, then found as a stray again. Then over a year in the shelter before I took him for foster).

Solomon is 5 years old, 50 lbs, crate trained and potty trained. He walks great on a leash and greets other dogs with a friendly sniff when we’re out on walks. My resident dog can be a bit of a grump, but Solomon has been a great foster brother and respects when my resident dog needs space.”
He is in foster for LifeLine Community Animal Center in Atlanta.

Every week's urgent list makes it easy to forget about last week's urgent dogs, now safe in foster. But if those dogs don't get adopted, their foster parents can't save another shelter dog.

Remember Fleetwood?? He was euth-listed at DeKalb Animal Services in March. He had all sorts of adoption interest. A guy claimed he was coming that night (he didn't) and thankfully Fleetwood went to foster. Then the guy said he'd meet the foster the next day. Then the next night. Then Monday. 👻

So 6 months later, Fleetwood still waits in foster and is still a nearly perfect dog. Even better than that day that was almost his last. He know all sorts of commands, is cuddly, obedient, fun and funny. He lives peacefully with a cat (always supervised, but he's unfazed). If the resident dogs liked him, he'd be in his forever home. But they don't.

Let's get this AMAZING dog into the forever home he deserves so his foster parents can bust another out of the shelter. He's a 100% good boy. He'd make someone the perfect family dog. Calm, loyal, solid. Please share to help him find his people. His profile: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/cd975833-fd3c-4734-8f4d-86a01687b86d

Dog-friendly and cat-possible! 🥰

Jasper Roe landed on the urgent list at Fulton last week because he was shy and nervous at the shelter, but on the outside he is really coming out of his shell! At 2 yrs old, he's full grown at the perfect medium size of 39 lbs.

What his foster parents know so far:
- Crate trained: settles in with a chew or some tasty treat
- Potty trained
- Dog-friendly. He enjoyed shelter playgroups. Gentle playstyle
- Loves short walks (he can be slow and likes to sniff) and is curious and not reactive to other dogs
- Enjoys toys and has started to entertain himself in the yard with a ball or rope toy
- Smart & treat motivated = easy to train
- Super cuddly! Wants to be near you
- Has the softest fur EVER
- Cat possible! Has seen the resident cat through a baby gate and can be redirected.

He is freshly neutered 🍒 vaccinated & microchipped. 🙂 If you want to meet Jasper, hit I'm Interested on his profile:

😍 Kid-friendly and cat-possible. Dog-selective. 😍

Looking for the paw-fect dog to add to your family? Let me introduce you to Lani! 🐾

My foster mom says I'm basically perfect, and I have to agree. I'm a sweet and silly girl who is ready to find my forever home. I love going on walks and exploring, and I'd be a great hiking or jogging buddy! But after all that adventure, I'm more than happy to cuddle up on the couch and relax with you.

I'm a pro at being a companion. I'm really good with kids of all ages, and I'm even curious about cats! I get along with other dogs, as long as I get to be the boss. 😉

I'm a really nice medium size--perfect for snuggling. 🥰 I'm super smart and eager to learn. I'm already crate-trained and I'm potty trained, so I'm well on my way to being the best girl ever!

Do you have room in your heart and home for a little love and a whole lot of fun? I can't wait to meet you! ❤️
=====
To learn more, see her profile at the link below. Lani spent a few months in a foster home and now she's at LifeLine's Community Animal Center, 3180 Presidential Dr., ATL. They are open 11-7 weekdays, 11-6 weekends.
[Every dog that leaves CAC for foster or adoption opens a space for a county shelter dog in need, so you're saving a life!]

Adorable Groot is enjoying a sleepover and "spaycation" from Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta right now. She’s just been spayed and sadly will have to go back to the shelter on Monday if she doesn’t find a new foster or adopter by then.

Her shelter name is Groot and her short-term foster mom calls her Gilly. She doesn't care what you call her as long as you bring her home. She is 2 years old, 54 lbs, potty-trained and sweet as can be! She’s also easy on the leash.

Can anyone give this angel a soft spot to continue healing? The shelter will provide all supplies, food and crate if needed. She won’t be able to play for 10 days after surgery, but she does LOVE other dogs. Cats unknown. If you can take over fostering, email [email protected]. If you're interested in adopting, hit the I'm Interested button on her profile. The link is in the comments.

Who doesn't want their own Greek god?? This Adonis can be your one and only. In mythology he was considered to be the ideal of male beauty and we agree that he is quite stunning.

Don't let that serious face fool you: this Adonis is a wiggly cuddly fella who is the perfect combo of playful and couch potato. He's dog-friendly--lives with a playful big girl--and isn't the slightest bit fazed by other dogs he sees when out walking. He's easy on leash.

Fun fact: he LOVES bananas and watermelon. And well, treats of most any kind. As you can see, he likes water too (see video in comments). He's also potty trained and crate trained. We think he's a Cane Corso mix. He's about 1.5 yrs old and ~61 lbs. To meet this hunk, hit I'm Interested on his profile in the comments. He's in foster in Atlanta for Dekalb County Animal Services.

ADOPTED!!
Sammie!
The happiest cow dog on the planet. 🐄 I've had the pleasure of being her lunch date twice and she is a gem. Doesn't beg, lays quietly under the table, perfect in the car. Takes treats (and tots) super gently. Catches like a Golden Glove winner (until the camera is rolling... see video in comments). She's in foster for LifeLine's Community Animal Center in metro Atlanta.

Sammie has every right not to be happy. Her people left her behind in the apartment when they were evicted. They packed up everything else, including her puppies to sell, and took off. She landed at the county shelter with no puppies and a bunch of milk 😭

But no, Sammie is a perfect angel baby. 🥰 Loves everyone she meets, has a huge smile on her face all the time and is amazing in a home. She did well with the resident dog in her short-term foster home (though she's a rowdy player). She's 3-4 yrs old and ~55 lbs. If you want to meet this perfect girl, hit I'm Interested on her profile, linked in the comments.

When you volunteer at an animal shelter, you sometimes take home a dog to save his life. Two of the most dedicated volunteers at Dekalb County Animal Services--they walk dogs every day that they are in town, so probably 300 days a year--did just that. This is from Josie:

"Flashback Friday…to 18 months ago when we saved Dash’s life. Nobody came for him when it counted. He had been let down multiple times spending part of his life in two county shelters and being left out with the trash when his last adopters moved. My husband and I are volunteers and we loved spending time with Dash and even though we had four dogs in the house we took him home (first pic is his car ride home). We didn’t know he’d still be with us now. We’ve given him love, comfort, exercise, enrichment and more but what we can’t give him is 100% of our time when he is best as the lone dog. We love him so much that we know he deserves more.

It was my birthday this week and the best gift would be for Dash to find his forever home. One where he doesn’t have to stay behind a closed door away from his people, where toys are aplenty and with someone who enjoys walks.

Are you his special someone? Can you love him and allow him to be your one and only pet? I know this is a big ask, but I know there are plenty of people who only want one dog.

Dash is 6 years old, house broken, non destructive, crate trained, and an overall easy dog."
