DeKalb animal shelter offering Friday adoption specials

DeKalb County Animal Services has launched an ongoing “Black Friday” event that discounts black animals up for adoption.

Black pets are the least likely to be adopted, contributing to the high euthanasia rate at the shelter on Camp Road near Memorial Drive and I-285.

Fees for black animals will be $40 on Fridays, a discount of 36 to 57 percent, depending on the gender and type of pet.
