Pet Pick: Cheeseburger

Cheeseburger knows how to pose for a picture! She also knows how to make people fall in love with her. She is currently residing in our cat house kitchen and making friends with all the felines and people who come and go. She would love for one of those people to take her home. She is a mellow dog that loves attention and does not require a lot of exercise. She likes meeting new people and trying new things. To adopt Cheeseburger or any of the other available cats and dogs, visit PAWS Atlanta at pawsatlanta. org or stop by the shelter at 5287 Covington Highway in Decatur.

If you’re one of the millions of people playing Pokemon Go, then LifeLine Animal Project invites you to help shelter dogs simply by bringing one along for a walk while you play. Through LifeLine’s Dog for a Day program, you can borrow a dog to walk, give them a break from the shelter environment and increase their chances of getting adopted by getting them out in front of potential pet parents. Dogs in the program leave the shelter wearing an “adopt me” vest, and a leash and harness are also provided. Participating in the program is simple. Just attend a “Dog for the Day” orientation session at LifeLine’s DeKalb or Fulton County Animal Services shelter, pick a canine from a list of preapproved dogs, select a date and you’re ready to go. To get started as a Dog for a Day volunteer, email the DeKalb shelter at volunteer@dekalbanimalservices.com or the Fulton County shelter at volunteer@fultonanimalservices.com.
