First and foremost I would like to say that Lifeline Animal Services is very needed in the community, and I appreciate everything that they do. They are overbooked, understaffed and underpaid, just like a lot of places right now in America. The reason for my one star review however, is that I am a Veterinary Hospital Manager who had an animal that was abandoned at my practice today. When our lead Veterinarian called DeKalb county animal services today, he was told per DeKalb County officers to bring the pet to the listed address on this location. Once I arrived at the location to surrender the pet as I was told to do by DeKalb County officers, Lifeline Animal Services turned me away. The person that I was directed to speak on site told me that they had a strict no intake policy, and that our lead veterinarian had probably spoken with somebody at animal services home offices and not necessarily an animal control agent that was at the DeKalb county office. While I understand their facility being overbooked, the directors of DeKalb County animal control need to have better communication with their support services so that local veterinarian offices in the area are able to give accurate information to staff members and community members about where to take abandoned pets. The individual that I spoke with at the lifeline location essentially insinuated that it was myself and our veterinary offices fault that we would not provide free services to the cat and find it our own independent rescue. Again while I completely understand their stress, I feel that situation going forward could be alleviated by DeKalb county communicating better with their support services.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

How is the best way to adopt a pet and how much does it cost

John Hetherington | Oct 3, 2017
Sheryl Bourgeois | Oct 3, 2018

You can visit the cats & dogs separately in cages. They have numbers on cages corresponding with info sheets on each animal. When you find one that you are interested in, one of the employees will get them out for you to get to know in visiting room. Can't remember prices, but they're posted on website. All animals are spayed/neutered and have all vaccinations before they leave shelter.

There are two stray cats in my yard, i called my county animal control several times with no success, any suggestions?

juan edwards | Oct 3, 2018
Marie Jordan | Oct 3, 2019

They do not take stray cats. They will fix them, tag them and return them where you found them. I know because we found a small cat and they told us just that. They said she was sn adult. We didn't want her put back out in the wild. We were told they (cats) will find their way. We couldn't do that to her. We now have her and she's a sweetie. And... She was only about 3 mos old.. Per our vet for our other animal.

You can volunteer in a lot of fun ways at your age (for instance making enrichment), but you have to be at least 16 to handle the animals. Definitely have your parents reach out to the shelter and volunteer coordinator so you can learn more. Thank you for wanting to volunteer! That shows a lot of heart and selflessness!

Are you missing a dog that fits this description? If so, please visit the shelter ASAP. Walking through the shelter in person is the best way to identify and reclaim your lost pup.

I have a raccoon that has been hanging out on my back porch since this afternoon. It hasn't moved much and I'm concerned it may be sick and may hurt my cats or dogs. Any suggestions?

I would call animal services...sure it is a coon, not a o'possum? Put some dog food out for it in the meantime...probably hungry!

I have 2 dogs that I need two houses for. But your application says if I don't agree to have these girl dogs fixed then I may not apply for dog donation dog houses. Even if I'm donating money. Why is that????

Lydia Pinckney | Oct 3, 2018
Jenny Lynn | Oct 3, 2018

I don't speak on behalf of the shelter but I gather its because an unfixed animal is a liability. We are overwhelmed with stray and surrendered animals in this city and simply do not have the resources to care for them. Hundreds of dogs are euthanized across the country on a daily basis at the taxpayers expense. The best way to address the issue is to encourage people to do the responsible thing and fix their pets. There simply isn't a viable reason not to. There is financial assistance available for this purpose. Donation dog houses should go to people who are willing to be responsible pet owners.

Can you call Animal control on dogs that bark continuously?.... they are also chained!!!

Andreana O'Neal | Oct 3, 2018
Shaneqwa Eafford | Oct 3, 2018

Yes. DEKALB has an ordinance that says animals can't be chained. They have to be on a run. They also can not bark for more than 30 min increments during the hours of 7am to 11pm and none at night. Call animal control

I AM LOOKING FOR A FEMALE DOG .WHO WAS TURNED IN NOVEMBER BY CLESHIA SLEDGE!! DOG NAME BAILEY, SHE WAS WITHPUPPIES!! SMALLER SIZE PRETTY BROWN COLOR!! THE CHILDREN LIKE TO HAVE THE DOG BACK !I AM THEIR GRANDMA!! IF SHE STILL THERE PLEASE CONTAC

If you're asking me, I really wish I could help you. Unless Clesha gave the dog's name, date turned in, and the breed, you may have a tough time finding her. There are a lot of dogs that go through there, but if you at least have a 'turn in' date, then maybe the shelter could source by female pregnant dogs turned in on that day/week. I don't know what other info they could provide, though. Another family may have already made her a part of their family. -- The dog I adopted (a male) is so dear to me, I can't imagine someone asking for him back especially after so long. Perhaps you could adopt another dog and save another life. It may take a coupme trips to find the right one, but it would be worth it! My heart's with you all, and good luck!

What are leash laws in DeKalb County? Can someone leave a dog chained up in a backyard all day and night. Even in frigid, cold temperatures.

Only a terrible owner would subject any animal to that.

No it isn't free but if you call and ask they may have modified prices for people who can't pay but not at the shelter. It mostly be non profits and their process is long to verify income.
