The Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement will host an event at the Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center to help shelter pets find their forever homes.
In celebration of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, the county invites the community to adopt a pet during its annual Shelter Pets Rock event on Saturday, November 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
During the event, all pet adoption fees will be waived. Shelter Pets Rock will also feature family-friendly activities, music, entertainment and local vendors.
“Shelter Pets Rock is a wonderful opportunity for people to come out to the center, meet all of the amazing animals we have here and enjoy an afternoon of fun,” Division Director Vernon Sawyer, said. “Shelter animals make great pets with their companionship and unconditional love. We’re excited to help our pets find their forever families.”
Gwinnett Animal Welfare takes in approximately 7,000 lost, stray and surrendered animals each year, according to a release from the county.
All adoptable pets will come with a microchip, spay/neuter services and rabies vaccinations. Adoptions are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
