UPDATE 8/28: New foster -- or better yet adopter -- needed for Michelle because of a resident pet health issue (unrelated to Michelle). She's been a model houseguest and needs a new place to crash. She is dog-friendly with a slow intro and ignores the resident cat (never left unsupervised).

Everyone wants an easy dog, a dog friendly-no separation anxiety-easy button dog. Well we have an easy dog who has been in and out of the shelter system for more than 450 days — through three different shelters — still waiting to find his forever home.

Meet Moon Pie! This handsome, goofy fellow would LOVE to find a home with similarly sized dogs who would enjoy playing. Moon Pie is great in the car, easy on leash, potty-trained, crate-trained, and non-destructive when left home alone. (No small dogs or cats.) He's also done well with the kids he's met. Moon Pie is down for whatever and would happily go on a long hike with you or nap on the couch. He’s pretty much BFF material.

Moon Pie first came to the old Fulton shelter in May 2023 with two other dogs, who have long since been adopted. 450 days ago. Moon Pie bounced around the old Fulton shelter and its overflow shelter for 7 months and finally happily adopted in January this year. We hoped that would be his happily ever after. Unfortunately, Moon Pie ended up back at LifeLine’s Community Animal Center in June, again searching for his family.

Please come meet this wonderful, deserving boy this Saturday, Aug. 24 at Children’s Museum of Atlanta Dog Adoption Event, 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr NW, Atlanta, GA from 11am-1pm and consider making him a member of the family so his search can come to an end after 450 days.

Moon Pie is 4 yrs old and 60 lbs, and available for adoption from LifeLine Animal Project Community Animal Center, 3180 Presidential Dr, Atlanta, GA 30340 and is currently in short-term foster. If you can’t come meet him this weekend, but are interested in Moon Pie, please hit “I'm Interested” at his link: bit.ly/adoptmoonpie

GREAT WITH KIDS OF ALL AGES! LOW-ENERGY!

Foster takeover/swap or adopter needed!
Meet Gigi! This beauty (shelter name is Ka Gerous) was saved from the euth list in January and has been living happily in an apartment foster home.

The family moved recently and the HOA practices breed discrimination and while this girl is labeled as mixed breed (no DNA test done), a neighbor is complaining about this blocky-headed sweetheart.

- GREAT with kids of all ages!
- low to med energy
- crate trained
- house trained
- non destructive
- quiet: not a barker

Gigi is a 10/10 cuddler. She has many friends in her old neighborhood. While she needs to be an only dog in the home, she does not bark or lunge at other dogs on walks.

Foster mom is open to a foster switch with a dog that's not pittie looking. She's in foster in metro Atlanta for Dekalb County Animal Services. Please share.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH KAYLEIGH
We had a chance to get an exclusive interview with Kayleigh and here’s what we learned!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do?
A: Play with toys

Q: What is your favorite movie?
A: Toy Story

Q: What is your favorite song?
A: Toys in the Attic (Aerosmith)

Kayleigh is an energetic young girl who loves playing with toys. There doesn't seem to be a toy she doesn’t like. She enjoys emptying the toy bin all over the floor and going from toy…to toy…to toy.
Just as much as she likes toys, Kayleigh loves snacks. She loves to show off her “sit” and “shake” in return for a treat.
Kayleigh is house trained and crate trained. Kayleigh is dog friendly, but a doggy sibling is not required. She would be equally happy being an only fur-kid. Her play style is very rough and rowdy so she needs a tolerant canine sibling who can provide appropriate corrections.
From her foster mom: "Kayleigh was adopted by a family member who has since been struggling with severe medical issues and cannot care for her. She will stay with us until she can find a new family. We will not return her to the shelter. She is being rehomed privately and has an adoptapet listing (link below)."
Kayleigh is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines. In addition to standard vaccines, she has also been vaccinated for leptospirosis and canine flu. Kayleigh’s adoption fee will be no more than the standard fee at LifeLine and they will match any promotions for reduced price or free adoptions. She is living in metro Atlanta.

Tuxedo (officially “Bulk Master” at Dekalb County Animal Services in metro Atlanta) melts the hearts of everyone he meets with these soulful eyes.

He was starting to get anxious because he’s spent almost 3 months in a crate 23h a day, but he’s now roaming free in his apartment. He’s proven to be fully trustworthy! 😊 He sleeps through much of the day, and LOVES enrichment. He pounced on the Kong Wobbler his foster mom gave him for dinner yesterday. He had to do zoomies in addition to getting all the food out!

Tuxedo is young and learning what’s it’s like to not live in a kennel, where he’s been since September 2023, almost a year 💔. He’s in training with Sit Smart so he can communicate well. He is so eager to please so he learns quick. He will go to his new home with an owner’s manual of commands and tips 😊. He is determined to be woman's or “man’s best friend,” he just needs his people to find him!

💗 2 years old, 55 lbs
💗 Medium energy - best with older kids
💗 Easy to walk, not reactive
💗 Perfectly potty trained
💗 Happy to stay in the crate
💗 Loves people
💗 Great with dogs
💗 Likely fine with cats!
💗 Great in the car
💗 Great at festivals
💗 Neutered, heartworm negative, no health concerns

🌺 Meet Juliette! 🌺

If you’re looking for a SUPER LOW-ENERGY, incredibly affectionate, smart, potty-trained, crate-trained, and all around lovable pup, Juliette could be for you! She’s happiest just relaxing by your side or going on a leisurely walk.

🌹 Meet Juliette (her fosters call her Ju-Ju)!
🥹 This darling 2 yr old, 27 lbs pup really captured my heart when I saw her in a shelter cage so timid, but she has 🌸BLOSSOMED🌸 since her foster mom took her out of the shelter. Juliette has really impressed with her sweet personality and incredibly gentle demeanor.
🦴 Highly treat motivated and well-trained!
❤️ Very affectionate and loving
🦮 Walks PERFECTLY on a leash!
💩 Potty trained
😴 One of the most CHILL dogs you'll meet

DOG-FRIENDLY * KID-FRIENDLY

Meet Logan (metro Atlanta)

There is something especially rewarding about earning the love and trust of a formerly feral dog.

Imagine being an essentially wild puppy with limited exposure to people and landing in an overcrowded, loud county shelter. That’s where Logan found himself, but lucky for him, a caring staff member took him home to foster.

Logan is now thriving! This gorgeous fella is less than a year old and is dog-friendly with a gentle play style. His future home will require another dog because Logan gains confidence and “learns how to dog” from other dogs in the home. Logan is cautious with new people and takes time to warm up, but when he does, he LOVES attention.

The rest of the details:
- crate trained, potty trained
- knows sit, stay, down, and come
- is in the midst of off-leash training
- kid-friendly (he loves his foster’s 5-year-old nephew)
- cat possible (didn't seem to care about a stray cat that they saw)
- 10 months-old & 49 lbs.

Pawesomely Adoptable!!!

This big 80lb guy (maybe Mastiff/Anatolian Shepherd mix?) named Flicka at Dekalb County Animal Services, whom his fosters call Duke, has gotten a great start since mid March! He’s come SO far, and he needs someone to continue. He’s super food motivated, very intelligent, and very trainable.

Duke is very dog-friendly and playful and the resident senior dogs are not fans. Playing is so important for a young dog; he'd love a home with another playful pooch.

A gentle, relaxed (even quiet) but structured environment with fenced in area would be best. Probably best if no young children given his size.

More about Duke:
🦴House trained
🦴Great in the crate; no separation anxiety
🦴Not anxious during storms
🦴Knows commands like “sit”, “stay”, “get back”, “place”, “kennel”, working on “leave it”
🦴Has his “place” to be when food ready
🦴Low to medium energy, but can get bit ramped up in play
🦴Great at taking baths
🦴Not destructive; pays attention to toys only
🦴Good on leash
🦴Rides beautifully in the car
🦴Affectionate (loves physical touch and being by your side), but not demanding
🦴Vigilant, but not crazy barking
🦴Fetches balls and toys and drops them for you
🦴Loves being outside and adorably drinks water from garden hose
🦴Takes treats gently
🦴Has been kept off furniture

AND➡️ to help further his training, foster mom offers whatever remains of training sessions (4 total) that began Sat., July 6! 🦮

Michelle is playful, loves the outdoors, her walks, stuffies and tennis balls. She was shy, uncertain and shut down at the shelter. (She was still a staff favorite; see pix with one of her fans).

She’s THRIVING in her foster home! 🥰 After some decompression she started walks with one of the confident resident dogs. “She’s uncertain, but curious and brave,” says her foster mom. She gives the resident dogs kisses through her crate. She loves the yard, lounging or playing. She is potty trained and will let you know she has to go out, and is crate trained. She LOVES car rides (going bye bye) and loves to ride shotgun.

“Michelle is a happy, sweet girl who looks at everything like it’s the first time seeing it," says her foster mom. "She snores, which I find endearing. She’s great on leash, but our walks can be slow because she wants to look at everything. She’s got occasional puppy antics like running off with my screwdriver, which I find funny. She deserves a home where she is completely a part of the family (she is separate because I have a reactive dog and a scared-y cat).”

She’s in foster for DeKalb Animal Services in metro Atlanta. https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/5e086b86-fd76-4ef5-8957-3b6739bfa177?tracking=b2086c4f-64d5-49a0-ac39-a21b39c467ba

ADOPTED!!
Meet a total ham, Okojo! His foster mom went and grabbed Okojo last week on the good advice of a shelter volunteer because he was attacked by another dog and had many superficial cuts and would benefit from some time outside of the shelter to heal. Apparently the poor little guy did not fight back, just wagged his tail as he was being attacked 🥲.

His foster mom: "He’s doing great at my place. Despite the attack, he’s great with dogs still and has met and played happily with mine. He’s entirely deaf; it was pretty nice to not need to worry about him with all the fireworks this week!

"The reason he needs a new spot is because I also have a cat, and while he isn’t aggressive, he’s just TOO EXCITED for it to work. I think he might do fine with cats that stand their ground, but mind runs, which causes him to chase. So, we have to keep him separated from our household and I’d love to find a home where he could integrate and learn.

"He doesn’t know commands yet but I can tell he is a smart fellow. He’s a total sweetheart and just loves to be near (or on top of) you and loves to give kisses."

ADOPTED 7/22!!
Hardy needs a hero. This is from a volunteer at Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta:

When I asked, “treat?” then, "wanna go for a walk?" I just knew...
Someone loved him.

We can always tell the ones loved the most; their struggle is the hardest to watch. Hardy has been struggling since he arrived in April.

It's not uncommon for shelter dogs to not respond to "treat" or "walk"—words they may have never heard before. But not Hardy.

He turned his head, sat down, and looked right up at me. "Shake," I said. He placed his paw right in my hand.

I thought...someone loved him.

Yesterday, I couldn't watch him struggle anymore. So I took him on a date.

I opened the car door, he hopped right in the front seat, then looked over at me like, "Are we going home?"

I took him to the river, and he walked right in like he'd done it a million times. As we walked in the water, my foot caught a rock and I reflexively grabbed onto him. He just stood strong for support.

I thought…he’s done this before.

So if you're looking for the definition of man's best friend, I found him. Hardy is waiting for you to bring him home to your family at Fulton County Animal Services, Atlanta.

Apply here: bit.ly/AdoptHardy and email [email protected]

NOTE: FYI Hardy is at the OLD Fulton location that is closed to the public as it’s a little quieter. If you’d like to meet him, you will need an appointment. It's very easy to set up! Just email the adoptions team! But he will also be at the Free Adoptions | Old Fulton Shelter event on July 6!

Loves, loves kids. And CAT-FRIENDLY TOO!!!

🥰 Meet Poppy Seed! 😍
This curious pocket pittie wakes up with joy every morning. She’s an energetic tripod who loves a short walk or romp in the yard before settling in for snuggles and time with toys. She loves people, is crate- and potty-trained, and is just over 40 pounds. Whether she’s chillin’ on daffodil hill, snuggling with her foster sis or walking with her buddy, she’s ready to steal your heart!

From her foster mom: "Poppy Seed came to shelter as a stray with injured leg. She had it amputated last year but doesn’t even know it’s gone. She’s the leader of our pack of 4 even though she’s the smallest and is missing a leg. She’s super bold, curious and ready for adventure. She loves her training classes, learning sit, place, focus, leave it, wait, and more. She's learning manners to meet new dogs, but loves her three doggie sisters. She's good with all adults and older kids. She's the perfect dog if you don’t want to take long walks 😊."

😍 DOG-FRIENDLY & CAT-FRIENDLY PUPPY! 🥰

Meet Sumi, a smallish (30 lbs) puppy (7 months) with an adorably inquisitive face that’s sure to win your heart. Once scared of the world around her, she’s now blossomed into a playful sweetheart. She is in foster for Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta. She's available for adoption or foster takeover since the grumpy older resident dogs are not fans of her playfulness.

"She is very food motivated, knows sit, is working on fetch, and loves her toys. She wants nothing more than to wrestle and play bitey face with a dog who likes that, but our dogs do not," says her foster mom.

Here’s some of what makes Sumi special:
- Dog-friendly: Thrives with other dogs and loves to play.
- Playful Personality: Enjoys toys and has a knack for sunbathing.
- Eager Learner: Motivated by treats, making training fun and easy.
- Safe Space Lover: She’s a homebody who likes to explore the fenced yard and her crate is her safe place. She is shy with new people but will just run to her crate.
- Polite to the resident cat!
- Would do best with a fenced yard since she's still learning that leash walks in the world are not scary.

Sumi is looking for a loving home with a patient person and furry friends. Could you be the one to help her continue her journey? She is spayed, vaccinated & microchipped.

🐾 SENIOR IN NEED OF A FOSTER OR ADOPTER! 🐾

Meet Denali! (Metro Atlanta)
This sweet old lady is 12 years old and 65 pounds, and is at Dekalb County Animal Services, a place she has no business stuck. She should be lounging on a soft bed for the remainder of her days, not stuck in an overcrowded, loud shelter.

She did well when tested with other dogs this week--sweet and gentle. (See videos in comments.) She's just a sweet, old girl found on the side of Hwy 78 in Stone Mtn without ID or microchip.

Please come bust this gal out of the shelter--which also will make room for another dog who may be at risk due to the terrible overcrowding.

Please come foster or adopt her today! They are open 11-7 weekdays and 11-6 weekends. 📍 Address: 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Chamblee, GA (metro Atlanta)

Little wiggly low rider alert!
Carlin from DeKalb County Animal Services (metro Atlanta) is looking for his new home! “He’s such a good boy and just so lovable!” says his foster mom.

This little dude, just 28 lbs, was a loved family member until his human passed away suddenly in Carlin’s presence. On top of that, the shelter was terrifying for him. But he is thriving again in a foster home!

He is:
🏡 house broken!
😋 very food motivated, big fan of Costco rotisserie chicken 🍗
🦮 walks great on the leash and easy to handle
🥱 low- to medium energy, happy to chill on the couch with you
🚧 not a big fan of the crate but will respect baby gates
🎤 fusses in his room the first few minutes but then settles down.
😴 sleeps through the night with no issues.
🐕 dog friendly! Met all the resident dogs in two foster homes and did well! He likes to play and go for walks with the younger resident pup.
💻 great work from home companion!
🧐 smart: knows several basic commands
🎂 4 years old, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped

All of a sudden, the number of views, reach and shares have fallen off a cliff. I have questions:
1- Are you--my page followers--seeing my posts?
2- Are you less interested in seeing info on foster animals?
3- If so, will you tell me why?

Remember, most fosters will go get another dog/cat when their foster gets adopted, so an adoption out of foster will still save a life.

If you are still interested and you want to be more likely to see posts from this page, you can make it a favorite. Here's how in the pic. If this page (LifeLine Foster) doesn't appear in your list of choices, you can search for it.

Also, PLEASE, please like, share, comment. This helps my posts for homeless animals more likely to appear in your feed, and will reach more people. THANK YOU for your support!

KID-FRIENDLY! GREAT FAMILY DOG!!
King is a happy-go-lucky fetch enthusiast who is in need of a new home. This cute guy found himself abandoned in a neighborhood a week ago and is lucky to be staying with a wonderful family in that neighborhood for now.

Good boy King is almost 4 years old and great with older kids. He's a little apprehensive of kids his size and smaller, but quickly warms up to them. He loves to play and just chills in his down time.

King loves to play with tennis balls. 🥎 He is a huge fan of running around the yard and being chased. King loves his dental treats in the morning and his treats after dinner before bed and will gently take them from your hand. He is a snuggler and loves to give and get kisses. 😘

During the day, he has been content running around the backyard, being lazy in the screened porch, and when it gets hot he enjoys his cuddle time inside with the kids. He has also not chewed on anything that does not belong to him! He’s such a good boy! 🥰

His host family cannot keep him long-term, so if you'd like to meet this certified good boy, drop a comment below or DM me and I'll put you in touch.

King is registered with DeKalb Animal Services in metro Atlanta and is neutered, vaccinated & microchipped already.

DOG-FRIENDLY, KID-FRIENDLY, CAT-POSSIBLE

Meet Wayne. WHAT A DOLL!!
I met this cute, labby-looking boy today and he is an absolute delight. Loved all the people and all the dogs he met today.

Wayne was taken out as a Weekend Warrior last weekend and he was SO GOOD, that he earned himself a longer stay. He is 100% ready for a forever home. This cutie is:
- fully potty trained
- a great sleeper: he’ll let you sleep in on the weekends!
- potentially cat-friendly
- he wants to come see the resident cat (and the cat has decided “no”), but is not aggressive at all. Just a little too excited for the cat’s comfort. They did meet nose-to-nose a few times and Wayne was curious and calm, then got excited.
- crate trained
- good in the car and in the bath
- allows all handling of paws, face, ears
- very easy-going!
- a lapdog (in his mind)
- medium-energy. He gets 2-3 walks a day plus some playtime and he is pooped!

Wayne is in foster for DeKalb County Animal Services in metro Atlanta. He is neutered, vaccinated & microchipped. To meet Wayne, hit the I'm Interested button on his profile: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/952bcdef-8dcc-438e-ade8-ad6182c5af81?tracking=d5bc0de7-2ef5-4061-b764-9980c0b14030

🎉 ADOPTED!!! 🎉
PERFECT FAMILY DOG!!
Surely some family in the greater metro Atlanta area is looking for a great, proven dog???
(He can be adopted out of state, but transport is not provided.)

From a volunteer at Fulton County Animal Services:

He's the quiet one that everyone has passed by for 208 days. His days of being surrounded by love, "good boys," and hugs from children abruptly ended last November when his family didn't have enough time for him, and ever since he's never fully recovered.

When MGK gets a chance to go outside you can often find him looking out through the fence, we're convinced he's looking for his family. 2 months ago we saw a completely different guy when a family came to adopt him. But when he returned in less than a week, his heart was more broken that before. He did nothing wrong, the timing just wasn't right for a dog.

Notes from his adopter: He is loving and understanding. He is a really good family dog and great with kids. He loves to just lay on them when they're sitting. If a child is crying, he walks over and licks them. He spent several hours outside everyday in a yard that wasn't fenced and just hung out watching the children play. During the week he was uncrated for 8+ hours/day and was non-destructive.

MGK is a good boy. He's waiting for a family to remind him of that, forever this time. If you can adopt MGK, he will be waiting for you at Free Adoptions | Old Fulton Shelter from 12-5 today
860 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta

PLEASE SHARE! It takes just a second and the one right person may see it and save this great dog.

Atlanta's animal shelters are in crisis. (As are shelters nationwide.) Here are 4 ways to help if you can't foster or adopt. Please spread the word!

Polka is a gorgeous fella in foster for Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta. He's ready to ride to his forever home! bit.ly/adoptpolka

Meet Shirakuro! This fab 3 yo boy came in to @dekalbanimals as a victim in a cruelty and neglect case July, but you'd never know it from his sweet demeanor. @hadster347 took him out Dog for the Day and you could not ask for an easier dog. Shirakuro is dog friendly (he goes to playgroup regularly and has a roommie), he met her cat and Biggles gave him a 5/5 whiskers for cat friendliness, they met a TON of kids and he was a doll with them. Plus he is non-leash reactive, great in the car, takes treats gently and knows sit. Please adopt or foster this great dog! Metro ATL

It is SO AMAZING the way people step up to save dogs scheduled for euthanasia. Not just here in Atlanta, but shelters all over the country are drowning in homeless dogs. Besides thank you to all who are stepping up, I want to say two things: 1- There is no shame in fostering or adopting a dog who is NOT urgent or euth-listed. In this climate, really every dog is urgent. Pick the dog for whom you are both the best fit--the dog for you and your home for the dog. Do NOT feel guilty for adopting an "easy" or not-at-risk dog. (Some urgent dogs ARE easy.) 2- Shelter dogs NEED decompression time! Especially dogs who are long-timers or who experience kennel stress. Do NOT rush intros with resident dogs. For the love of all you hold holy, do NOT bring a new dog straight into your home if you have another dog. Bring your dog outside and you all go for a pack walk in neutral ground first. And still you should keep them separated for several days. You've stepped up to save a dog, now set him/her up for success by giving them a chance to decompress. Here's a reminder about the Rule of Three and what that means for both of you.

Polka needs a foster or adopter

UPDATE 11/15: I am heartbroken to report that this angel gained her wings. She was just too sick to recover. Please hold her foster parents in your thoughts. It is devastating to lose a medical foster, especially just a baby. 😭 UPDATE 11/2 at 2pm: Foster found! Still available for adoption. Anyone have room at the inn for this angel? This is Polka, just 3 months old and clearly terrified at the shelter. A foster was supposed to come get her but never showed. The shelter is a dangerous place for a puppy without an established immune system. Clearly she's got some recuperating to do. Can you give her a place to crash for a few weeks? If so, please email [email protected] and put "Polka foster" in the subject line. Please share in case someone you know can give her a foster or forever home (she needs more vaccines and to be spayed, so she's eligible for foster-to-adopt). She's at Dekalb County Animal Services in metro Atlanta.
