LifeLine Animal Project Presents our Amazing Pets of the Week!

By KAREN HIRSCH (Star Patcher)

Ready to add a Captain to your family? Then meet our first Pet of the Week: Captain Jack Sparrow is his name, and giving paw is his game. At six-years-old, this handsome boy has retired from life on the high seas and is ready to settle down in a forever home. Captain Jack is a pleasure to be around, and his hand shaking abilities are some of the best we’ve ever seen! He greets everyone he meets with a polite raised paw. Like most pirates, he has one cloudy eye, but can see just fine out of his other eye. If you are looking for a laid-back boy, Captain Jack Sparrow is the boy for you. Come meet this great guy today at LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services shelter!

Our next Pet of the Week is Skip, a three-year-old Border Collie mix who would is sweet and mellow. Skip would love nothing more than a comfy place to rest and a family to love. This smart boy is very well-behaved, and although he is shy at first, he warms up with a little TLC. If you are looking for a calm, quiet and loving boy, then you owe it to yourself to meet Skip today at LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services Shelter.

To meet Captain Jack or Skip, Simply drop by the shelter at 845 Camp Road in Decatur, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call (404) 294-2165. To view other pets available for adoption, please drop by the shelter or visit www.dekalbanimalservices.com. All potential adopters will be screened to ensure they go to a good home.

Looking for that perfect Lab? Then this handsome guy should do the trick! Meet Cisco, a happy, silly black Lab who is all fun and games. Cisco is great with other dogs, is athletic and loves to jump and play. Since cats and small kids make him nervous, he’d do best in a family without them. Come meet Cisco by emailing adoptions@lifelineanimal.org,

Finally, we have an adorable goofball. Meet Ivan, although he’s still young, he’s not technically a puppy, but he thinks he is! Ivan has lots of energy and loves everyone he meets. He gets along well with other dogs and would love an active playmate. Ivan is smart and learns fast, so he will be easy to train. Come get to know Ivan and prepare to smile. Ivan is located at our LifeLine Animal Project Dog House. To meet him, please email adoptions@lifelineanimal.org.

Captain Jack, Skip Cisco and Ivan are all available for free during our September “Fall in Love” promotion! This includes their neuters, vaccines and microchips too! Come meet these great boys today!
