Atlanta non-profit no-kill shelter and animal advocacy organization is waiving all adoption fees on dogs and cats in March for past and present Girl Scouts, Brownies and those working with the Scouts as a way to honor and celebrate the Girl Scouts centennial.
ATLANTA, GA – (February 16th, 2012) To highlight and express appreciation for the Girl Scouts creed of community service, LifeLine Animal Project, a 10-year-old Atlanta non-profit, is waiving the standard $80- $120 pet adoption fees for Scouts, their families and alumnae throughout the month of March.
“We are pleased to note that March marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts by Georgia native Juliette Gordon Low,” says LifeLine board chair Blythe Randolph, “LifeLine honors the vision and community activism inherent to Scouting by making this offer, and I hope current Girl Scouts, former Girl Scouts, and their families will take advantage of it.”
LifeLine has teamed with local Girl Scout and Brownie troops several times in the last decade and metro area Scouts have held donation drives to help homeless dogs and cats at LifeLine.
Shelter dogs from LifeLine’s Dog House and cats and kittens from their Kitty Motel are all included in the March offer. Potential adopters must meet LifeLine’s standard criteria for adopting a pet, however all adoption fees are waived for Girl Scouts, troop leaders and those with past and present associations with the Girl Scout organization.
All pets are current on their vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered and micro chipped. Many dogs who have been at the shelter for any length of time have received some basic obedience training.
