Sometimes, a “flea” is a good thing for a pet.

Mostly Mutts will kick off its 11th annual flea market to benefit homeless animals.

Beginning  at noon Friday, the nonprofit  will accept donations at 6065 Highway 92 in Acworth.

Accepted items include furniture, kitchen supplies, tools, jewelry, art, books and small appliances in good working order.

Etta is a 13-year-old active pointer and American Bulldog mix. Her Instagram page is “Adoptable Etta.”
