Take a Dog Home for a Day at Fulton County Animal Services and Meet Our Pets of the Week

Ever wanted to have a dog for a day to play with? Need a jogging buddy for the afternoon? Want to add some fun to your family for a day? Then take advantage of Fulton County Animal Services “Dog for the Day” program. This program is a great way to give the dogs a break from the shelter environment and get them seen by potential adopters. You can take a Fulton County Animal Services dog to the park, go for a hike, or simply relax at your house. The potential for fun is endless!

There is no special orientation required in order to participate! Your dog just needs to be signed in and out of the volunteer office, and brought back one hour before closing: 6 p.m. on weekdays and 7 p.m. on weekends. You will be provided with a leash, harness, and an “adopt-me” vest for the dog you choose. The shelter dog must be fully vetted to leave the shelter, so any of our adoption event dogs are automatically candidates for this program. Please email volunteer@fultonanimalservices.com 24 hours in advance of when you plan on borrowing a dog for the day, so we can expect your arrival.

Fulton County Animal Services Pets of the Week: Hazel and Egypt

Meet Hazel, a cuddly two-year-old sweetheart. This girl is very loving, energetic and gets along great with other dogs. When she’s not playing with other dogs, Hazel likes to cuddle, kiss and stay close to her human. She loves kids too and would be a great choice for anyone. You can adopt Hazel for FREE until January 31, during our “Ring in the New Year With a New Pet” promotion!

Our next Pet of the Week is a very happy and energetic girl named Egypt. This lively three-year-old Labrador mix always has a smile on her face when she is by your side. Egypt loves playing with other dogs, running around outside and chasing toys. She also likes to snuggle and give kisses and would make a loyal and loving family member. Please come meet her and adopt her for FREE under our “Ring in the New Year with a New Pet” promotion!

To meet Hazel or Egypt, 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.
