More than 330 pets have a home thanks to a weekend-long Black Friday and a Cyber Monday special hosted by LifeLine Animal Project.
Since Friday, potential pet owners were able to adopt animals for free in DeKalb and Fulton counties.
The adoptions were one of the largest the adoption agency has seen since it first began doing the event in 2015, spokeswoman Karen Hirsch told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. That year, there were 374 adoptions.
A total of 337 animals went to new homes during the four-day deal.

Fulton County Animal Services saw the most adoptions through Monday with 147 animals going to new homes. There were 134 animal adoptions at DeKalb County Animal Services and The LifeLIne Dog House and Kitty Motel had 56 adoptions.
One lucky dog, Jebidiah, finally got a home after being at the DeKalb animal shelter for two years.
“His new mom says that when she looked into his eyes, they immediately connected,” Hirsch said.
Jebidiah, a young adult dog, was a favorite at the shelter since he was “such a sweet and loving boy,” Hirsch said.
