The Fulton County Animal Services (FCAS) Field Services division is managed by LifeLine Animal Project. Animal Services Officers enforce Fulton County Animal ordinances. Our Fulton County Officers work hard to address the root causes of animal issues and provide resources and neighborhood-based programs to support the needs of each community they serve.
The Fulton County Animal Shelter is out of housing space. We’re asking our community for help with stray pets so we can focus on emergency and critical situations. Animals in need will not and should not be abandoned. If you need assistance with a pet, please email pethelp@fultonanimalservices.com. If you found an animal, please visit our found pets page to find out what to do first.

PET HELP
For assistance with housing, pet behavior, finding affordable vet care and more, please view our pet help resources. You can also email the FCAS Pet Help team for further information.
HOME FREE PROGRAM
Don’t wait to take action if your pet is missing. If they’re lost and brought to the shelter for the first time, we will waive reclaim fees and any dog-at-large citation so you can quickly reclaim them at no cost!
Wildlife
As more development in Atlanta destroys the homes of wildlife, wild animals are forced into smaller spaces, including our own backyards. While we may see these animals as a nuisance, they are simply trying to survive. This article by the HSUS explains how to live with the wildlife in our communities.
Here is a list of wildlife rehabilitators, and Wild Nest Bird Rehab has steps for you to follow if you find a bird in metro Atlanta.
If you need assistance with wildlife, please contact AWARE at 678.418.1111 or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) at 1.800.241.4113.
