The Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center is seeking adopters to give shelter pets a home as the center recently launched its 12 Strays of Christmas in July adoption campaign as the shelter reaches critical capacity.
As the center reaches critical capacity, Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement is offering free adoptions plus a holiday pet care package while supplies last until Saturday, July 20.
All of the pet adoptions include vaccinations, microchips and spaying/neutering.
“Our largest animals, the big dogs, are always the hardest to find placement for,” said Animal Welfare and Enforcement Division Director Katrina Amaro. “With the care packages and waived adoption fees, we want to generate some holiday magic to help these pets find loving homes or temporary foster placements until they find their forever families.”
Gwinnett County provides food, preventive vet care and basic supplies such as leashes for free to those who are interested in temporarily fostering pets.

The Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center is located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
