To celebrate 2020, these metro shelters are offering $20 pet adoptions

To ring in the new decade, public animal shelters in Fulton and DeKalb counties are offering $20 adoptions for all dogs over 25 pounds and all cats.

That discounted price includes the pet’s spaying/neutering, vaccinations and microchipping, equivalent to a $300 value, according to LifeLine Animal Project, the organization that manages animal services for both counties.

The “Roaring 20s promotion” lasts through January.

Animals can be adopted from four locations in Fulton and DeKalb:

  • DeKalb County Animal Services, 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Chamblee
  • Fulton County Animal Services, 860 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta
  • LifeLine Cat Adoption Center, 3172 E. Ponce de Leon Ave., Scottdale
  • LifeLine Community Animal Center, 3180 Presidential Drive, Atlanta

To find the addresses and hours of the shelters — and to look at pictures at the available animals — visit LifeLine’s website.
