"We are still offering free adoptions through August 3! All pets adopted have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you fall in love with one of our heartworm-positive pups, we will cover the treatment for you as long as you can provide a place for recovery," the county added.

The shelter is located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
