As a result of Tropical Storm Irma, LifeLine Animal Project’s DeKalb County Animal Services shelter is experiencing a higher intake than has been seen in three years.

The facility has about 575 pets (430 dogs, 145 cats), LifeLine said in a news release.

“To encourage adoptions, we are holding a September promotion at all of our LifeLine shelters, including DCAS, where all cats and all dogs over 25 lbs. may be adopted for only $40, including their spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines,” the release said.

In addition, LifeLine and Atlanta Humane Society will hold a "mega" adoption event noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at AHS's temporary emergency shelter at 1425 Market Blvd. in Roswell.
