Fulton County Animal Services
Saving Lives Together
Fulton County Animal Services is dedicated to ending the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in our community. We believe in creating a compassionate environment where every pet receives a second chance at a happy life.
Our History and Mission
Since 2013, our shelter has been managed by LifeLine Animal Project, Georgia’s largest animal welfare nonprofit. We work to address the root causes of animal homelessness and keep people and their pets together through accessible care, innovative programs, and community support.
Our Care Model
We provide humane, professional care for all animals entering our facility, focusing on spay/neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping. Our lifesaving work is bolstered by an incredible network of fosters and volunteers who help our animals thrive, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready for their new homes.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adopting a pet is a life-changing experience, and our adoption counselors are here to help you find the perfect match for your family’s unique lifestyle. When you adopt from us, you aren't just getting a pet; you are joining a community committed to saving lives and building lasting, loving partnerships.
