After visiting a county shelter where most of the animals were euthanized, Rebecca Guinn founded LifeLine Animal Project in 2002 and led the implementation of a long-term strategy to redefine metro Atlanta’s animal care and control practices. In 2013, LifeLine was awarded management contracts for Atlanta’s Fulton and DeKalb County animal shelters, where the organization consistently sustains no-kill life-saving rates.

 

LifeLine is the largest animal welfare organization in Georgia and cares for more than 40,000 animals a year. 

 

A licensed attorney, Rebecca drafted state legislation that banned the use of gas chambers in Georgia shelters and helped revise animal ordinances in Fulton and DeKalb Counties. She is active in the Animal Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia and a member of Best Friends No-Kill 2025 National Steering Committee. Rebecca and her partner share the home of four dogs and a number of cats.
