Clear The Shelter St. Patrick's Special, $20 Pets, Free On Friday

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — The Gwinnett Animal Welfare shelter is offering a Clear the Shelter St. Patrick’s Day Special of only $20 for dogs or cats and all pets are free on Fridays for the month of March.

Many dogs and cats have been examined by Animal Welfare and Enforcement staff veterinarians, vaccinated, and neutered or spayed, so they are ready to go home on the day of adoption. Shelter fees are typically $90 for a dog and $30 for a cat.

Keep in mind that adopting an animal is a decision that should include responsible planning for space, permission if renting, and follow-up veterinarian care from a local clinic. Animals are forever family members that require love, attention, exercise, stimulation and can live 10 years or longer depending on age and breed. Please consider this upon planning to adopt.
