As part of an end of June special, the Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement Division is waiving all adoption fees at the Gwinnett Animal Shelter now through June 30. Shelter fees are typically $90 for a dog. Cat adoptions are $30.
Late spring and early summer are the busy time for the animal shelter, and the staff decided to offer the pets for free to ensure adequate space for any new arrivals.
With rare exceptions, dogs and cats up for adoption at the shelter have been examined by staff veterinarians, vaccinated, and neutered or spayed, so they are ready to go home on the day of adoption.
Volunteers and supply donations are also needed to help the shelter improve the health of the animals, increase the number of adoptions and rescues and continue to offer pet care education free to the community.
The shelter is open for adoptions 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
