Cobb running summer pet adoption special through August

These two stray, unnamed dogs will be adoptable in Cobb starting Aug. 15; after then, there's no guarantee they'll be available.

Were you jealous of everyone’s summer filled with posting “my dog outdoors doing sporty things” pictures on social media?

That’s a shame, but there’s still time and now some help. Summer isn’t over, and Cobb County is running a pet adoption special.

Cats and dogs that have been spayed or neutered cost $10 until the end of August, the county announced on Facebook.

If the pet is not spayed nor neutered, the adoption will cost the regular $115, said Cobb spokeswoman AikWah Leow.

All adopted animals come with up-to-date vaccinations, rabies testing and deworming treatment. Dogs are checked for heartworms and cats are tested for feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus — FIV and FLeV.
