The free adoption includes the pet’s spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines, a $250 value at no cost.
Two pets that you can bring “Home for the Pawlidays” are our wonderful Pets of the Week, Cody and Loona.
Our first Pet of the Week is a perfect southern gentleman named Cody. This guy is a wonderful guest here at the shelter and treats all newcomers gently and with care. Cody is very handsome, has a sweet personality and will make a wonderful companion for any person or family. While Cody enjoys a romp around the play yard, he isn`t overly hyper or energetic. He also does well with small children. Come meet Cody today, and prepare to add some sunshine to your life!
Loona is an adorable, fun-loving girl who weighs 45 lbs. She has been chosen by volunteers to be their “Dog for a Day.” because of her happy and sweet personality, and volunteers say she is super friendly with everyone she meets, including children. Loona recently went with volunteers to a restaurant, where she sat with them on the outdoor patio and charmed everyone she met with wags and kisses. She also enjoyed rolling around in the grass and smelling the fresh air as they drove around in the car. According to volunteers, Loona is a “terrific and kind dog who any family would be lucky to have.” Come meet her today and find out why everyone loves her!
To meet Cody or Loona, please drop by the shelter, email adoptions@fultonanimalservices.com or call 404-613-0357. To view dogs or cats available for adoption, please visit the shelter at 860 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta, 30318 or go to www.fultonanimalservices.com/adopt.
