Clear the Shelters event happening nationwide on Saturday
ATLANTA - Many animal shelters in Atlanta are participating in Saturday's Clear the Shelters campaign. The event is being held nationwide as a pet adoption initiative, and shelters will waive or discount fees as part of the one-day adoption drive.
The dogs featured in the picture above are from the LifeLine Animal Project in Fulton County, and their names are Diggy. Dutchie, Marinara, MayWeather, and Pica. They and hundreds of other dogs are available for adoption.
