Free Pet Fridays At Gwinnett Shelter Throughout January

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - It's National "Walk Your Dog Month" and Gwinnett County's Animal Welfare shelter will celebrate with a special deal - free pet adoptions every Friday this month.

The normal cost is $45 for dogs and puppies, and $30 for cats and kittens. Fridays it's free.

The shelter has done free pet adoptions on Fridays before, usually coinciding with a special theme or celebration, such as holidays.

“We have many dogs at Gwinnett Animal Welfare that are perfect workout partners to help you start the year right and achieve your fitness goals,” said Alan Davis, director at Gwinnett Animal Welfare, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

The shelter has dogs of all sizes, ages and energy levels just waiting to find the right running buddy or the perfect human to guide them through a nice walk at a park, he said. There are also some senior dogs and beautiful cats for adoption for those with a slower pace.

Shelter officials said the pets have already been vaccinated, neutered and micro-chipped.

The shelter is at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville, and officials post information on available pets and adoption specials at www.GwinnettAnimalWelfare.com and on the shelter's Facebook page.

Anyone who would like to speak with shelter officials by phone about available pets can call 770-339-3200.
