To ring in the new decade, public animal shelters in Fulton and DeKalb counties are offering $20 adoptions for all dogs and cats over 25 pounds.

That discounted price includes the pet’s spaying/neutering, vaccinations and microchipping, equivalent to a $300 value, according to LifeLine Animal Project, the organization that manages animal services for both counties.

The “Roaring 20s promotion” lasts through January.

This is Cholu, who can be adopted for $20 this month.
