Running DeKalb County’s animal shelter will soon be the job of a private animal welfare group.
The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners Tuesday awarded a contract to LifeLine Animal Project to handle all animal services except for animal pickup and cruelty investigations.
The contract will cost about $ 2 million a year and can be renewed for up to five years.
LifeLine, which runs two high-volume spay-neuter clinics in DeKalb and Fulton, also recently won the job to run Fulton’s animal control services. It takes over operations there on Friday.
No date has yet been set for when LifeLine will begin in DeKalb.
