Gwinnett Animal Welfare is kicking off summer fun with Shelter Pets Rock, a special event that encourages residents to adopt a shelter pet. Adoption fees will be waived on all pets 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.

“Summer is the perfect time to add a shelter pet to your family,” said Division Manager Alan Davis. “Longer days with outdoor activities and families taking advantage of summer vacation create a great opportunity for pets to bond with their new family members.”

The event will feature activities and games for kids, food vendors and information, supplies and training for pet owners.

All Gwinnett Animal Welfare pets available for adoption have been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped and are ready to go to their new home. The standard adoption fee is $45 for dogs and puppies and $30 for cats and kittens.
