“To encourage adoptions, we are holding a September promotion at all of our LifeLine shelters, including DCAS, where all cats and all dogs over 25 lbs. may be adopted for only $40, including their spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines,” the release said.
In addition, LifeLine and Atlanta Humane Society will hold a "mega" adoption event noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at AHS's temporary emergency shelter at 1425 Market Blvd. in Roswell.
