Fulton Animal Services Pets of the Week: Oreo & Frankie

Part of Fulton County Animal Service's mission is to provide a humane environment for Fulton County's homeless pets while placing them into loving, permanent homes.

Although our city practically shut down during the two recent winter storms, LifeLine Animal Project still had many animals needing care at our three shelters (LifeLine’s shelter and Dekalb and Fulton County Animal Services shelters). Thanks to the commitment of some very special employees, they all received the care they needed.

Even before the storm, some employees worked extra hard caring for Atlanta’s animals and trying to protect them from the cold. Knowing the storm was approaching, LifeLine’s outreach team worked fervently, delivering dog houses and hay to animals needing shelter and persuading pet owners to bring their animals inside.

And when the first storm hit, many employees spent the night at the shelters, knowing there was no human food available, but wanting to make sure the animals were cared for. These employees handled animals still recovering from spay/neuter surgeries, cleaned cages, fed dogs and cats, cleaned the kennels and barns and worked double shifts, since other employees were unable to drive into work.

And when the second storm hit, employees were at it again! A Fulton County Animal Services Kennel Supervisor spent three nights sleeping on an air mattress and brought in air mattresses for other employees; the DeKalb County Animal Services Kennel Supervisor walked three miles on ice to make it to the shelter early in the morning; and LifeLine’s Cat Rehabilitation Director Mickie Blair walked two miles on ice to LifeLine’s shelter to reach her beloved cats.  LifeLine is proud that we have a wonderful team of employees who will always be there to care for the animals!
