Double Your Holiday Cheer with LifeLine Animal Project

Gifts to LifeLine are doubled through Dec. 31

As you decorate gingerbread homes and cookies, you can help homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens jingle all the way to a forever home this holiday season. LifeLine Animal Project is a nonprofit organization committed to the life, love and care of dogs and cats in metro Atlanta – and your generosity makes it happen. Whether you’re wrapping up the year with a charitable donation or making a contribution in honor of that person who already has everything, you can double the impact with your gift to LifeLine this month.

Through Dec. 31, donations to LifeLine Animal Project – up to $25,000 – will be matched thanks to a Challenge Grant from Atlanta-based global cosmetic brush and accessory solutions innovator Anisa International.

“By doubling donations, we are helping thousands of dogs and cats in our community find forever homes and empowering their owners,” said Anisa Telwar Kaicker, founder and president of Anisa International.

Why give to LifeLine? Leading the way to making Atlanta no-kill, LifeLine has already saved the lives of 11,000 dogs and cats in metro Atlanta this year alone. In fact, in its second year managing the Fulton and DeKalb County Animal Services, the organization has achieved a lifesaving rate of more than 80 percent at both shelters.

“Support like the Challenge Grant enables us to look forward, to imagine what else we can do, and to further help the thousands of animals in our care,” said Rebecca Guinn, CEO of LifeLine Animal Project. For instance, a gift of $25 can feed a homeless dog for a month – and that’s two homeless dogs through Dec. 31.
