Looking for a pet to call your own?

The Cobb County Animal Control Shelter will hold an adopt-a-thon  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  May 19 at 1060 Al Bishop Dr. in Marietta.

Last year, the shelter held three adopt-a-thons placing about 180 pets. Officials hope to break new records with events this year.

The event will include raffle prizes, music, food and local vendors. There will also be a veterinarian to answer questions about pet care and services. The adoption rate is $80.
