LifeLine Animal Project Offering “Shelterless” Fee-Waived Foster Adoptions

Published

Looking for a new best friend, but hesitant about coming into public spaces like animal shelters due to COVID-19?  Then take advantage of LifeLine Animal Project’s Fee-Waived Foster Adoption promotion now through October 11!  Any dog or cat currently living in a foster home is eligible for a fee-waived adoption, including foster pets from the LifeLine Community Animal Center, DeKalb County Animal Services and Fulton County Animal Services shelters. The adoption includes the animal’s spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip, a $350 value, for no additional cost, and you never have to set foot into the shelter. Applicants will be screened to ensure pets go to loving homes. 

Tiny Tim

Shelterless adoptions are easy. First, potential adopters may view available foster pets by visiting LifeLineAnimal.org/adopt-a-foster and selecting a shelter.  Next, they can meet a pet or learn more about them by clicking the ‘Adopt me!’ button which will put them in touch with the pet’s foster parent. Foster parents can provide a wealth of information about the dog or cat and help potential adopters assess whether the pet is a good choice for their lifestyle. Finally, after meeting the pet, if the potential adopter would like to adopt them, they’ll fill out an online application that will be reviewed by a LifeLine adoption counselor.  Once approved, they’ll sign an online adoption contract and pick up their dog from the foster parent.

Over 800 wonderful foster pets in all shapes and sizes are available for adoption and cannot wait to meet you!

Maintenance and repairs will take place from March through July; the deck will remain open to the public throughout

Starting the week of March 24, the City of Peachtree Corners will begin scheduled maintenance and repairs on the Town Center Parking Deck. These improvements are expected to continue through July 2025 and are necessary to ensure the longevity of the structure.

During this period, the deck will remain open to the public, but the repair areas will be temporarily closed on a rolling basis. These closures will allow crews to efficiently complete the necessary work while minimizing disruption to tenants, customers and residents.

To assist with navigation, directional signage, barriers and other safety measures will be in place to guide drivers and pedestrians safely around work areas. For public safety, drivers must follow the directional signage and only park in the open sections of the deck.

The city appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as they work to maintain a safe and well-functioning parking facility.
