DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — LifeLine Animal Project in DeKalb County is making a desperate plea as it deals with unprecedented overcrowding.

With the addition of the new dogs, the shelter is running out of space as its dog population recently exceeded 600. As a result, the shelter is asking people to consider adopting or fostering a dog.
With its current overcrowding, the shelter says some of these dogs are at risk of being euthanized.
Anyone with questions about the investigation is asked to contact DeKalb County Animal Enforcement at 404-294-2939.
