Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement joins shelters and rescues across the country to find forever homes for shelter pets during the Clear the Shelters adoption drive.
Since 2015, more than 411,000 pets have been placed in loving homes because of the campaign.
“Like shelters all over the country, our hope is to find happy forever homes for the many great pets in our care,” said Animal Welfare and Enforcement Manager Alan Davis. “We would love to literally clear our shelter.”
From Aug. 23 until Sept. 19, adoption fees will be waived and all the animals will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Most pets can go to their new homes the same day as adoption. The County will also host its fun-filled Clear the Shelter Celebration on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. There will be music, pet vendors, face painting and more!
Those interested in adoption, can view available pets on Facebook or visit GwinnettAnimalWelfare.com to complete the adoption application before coming to the shelter for a meet-and-greet.
The Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Shelter is located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
