In an effort to clear out the DeKalb County animal shelter before an upcoming move, all adoption fees are waived in June, the shelter said.

LifeLine Animal Project, which runs the shelter, announced the deal on Facebook, saying customers can take home “a spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped pet at no cost.”

The center is moving this summer to a 33,440-square-foot shelter near DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.
