ATLANTA - Hundreds of shelter pets across metro Atlanta are looking for new homes, and adoption fees won’t stand in the way.
What we know:
LifeLine Animal Project announced Tuesday it will host a free adoption weekend from September 19 through 22 in partnership with Petco Love. Fees will be waived at all three LifeLine shelters, and each adoption includes vaccinations, a microchip, and spay or neuter surgery.
