It’s free to adopt nearly 60 animals at the Cobb shelter this week
If you don’t have an animal to dress up for Halloween, you can adopt one just in time for free in Cobb County.

All animals who have been at the shelter less than 30 days are $40 to adopt.
The regular adoption price is $115, according to the county.
