At LifeLine Animal Project, we don’t just run shelters — we’re saving lives. Our mission from day one has been simple: to end the shelter euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in Atlanta. Founded in 2002, LifeLine has continued to grow, both in achievements and team size, pushing past outdated sheltering models to create community-first solutions that uplift both people and pets. As the largest animal welfare organization in Georgia, and the nonprofit managing both Fulton and DeKalb County Animal Services, we care for over 45,000 animals each year through our shelters, field services, clinics, and outreach programs. This requires a large team of innovative and compassionate individuals who work alongside volunteers, foster parents, and community partners to drive lifesaving outcomes. We need caretakers, change makers, forward thinkers, people persons, and, above all, animal lovers. Our work is complex, rewarding and, at times, difficult— but it’s powerful, meaningful, and possible because of the extraordinary people who join us. Are you IN?

The Atlanta Humane Society is a no-kill shelter providing sheltering and adoption, veterinary care, and community outreach. As one of the oldest charities in Atlanta, we have been caring for our community and her animals for more than 150 years. We’re proud to be able to work together with animal advocates, other animal welfare organizations, and our community partners to save lives. Federal tax ID number (EIN): 58-0685900.

Furkids, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization that operates the largest cage-free, no-kill shelter in the Southeast for rescued cats and Sadie’s Place, a no-kill shelter for rescued dogs. The Furkids mission is to rescue homeless animals, and provide them with the best medical care and nurturing environment while working to find them a forever home. Furkids has rescued more than 50,000 animals since its founding in 2002. Approximately 600 animals are in the Furkids program today, in the Furkids shelters, 10 PetSmart and Petco adoption centers, and more than 600 foster homes in the Atlanta area. Furkids also operates four Thrift Stores, which fund approximately 30% of their lifesaving work. For more information about our volunteer opportunities and programs, visit www.furkids.org.
