During the month of August, Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement is joining shelters and rescues across the nation to find homes for sheltered pets during the fifth annual Clear the Shelters adoption drive.
On Saturday, August 27th, Animal Welfare will be hosting a Clear the Shelter celebration from 11 a.m. until 4p.m.. This event will provide an opportunity for attendees to adopt a pet for free, as well as enjoy music, face painting, pet vendors and more.
Since 2015, Clear the Shelters has been a campaign that has helped over half a million pets find homes. The campaign is sponsored by NBC Universal.
“Like shelters all across 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.”
All month, all adoptions are free, and all adopted animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Those interested in adoption can find available pets @GwinnettAnimal Shelter on Facebook or visit GwinnettAnimalWelfare.com and complete the application before coming to the shelter for a meet and greet.
The Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center is located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
