Pet of the Week
The Fulton County Pets of the Week initiative, in partnership with the Fulton County Animal Services Facility, is a dedicated effort designed to promote pet adoption and enhance awareness of the animals seeking forever homes. This initiative serves a dual purpose: not only does it highlight specific pets each week, but it also fosters a deeper understanding of the responsibilities and joys associated with pet ownership.
By featuring a diverse array of pets- from playful puppies to mature dogs and affectionate cats—the initiative showcases each animal's unique personalities and qualities, making it easier for individuals and families to envision their future companions.
In honor of the late Cheryl Scheck, former board member of LifeLine Animal Project, LifeLine and Fulton County Animal Services will hold a free pet adoption and family fun day on Saturday, May 30. The event will run from noon to 5 p.m. at the County animal shelter, 1251 Fulton Industrial Blvd. NW.
The event will include:
· Free dog adoptions
· Dog sport demonstrations
· Vendors and activities
· Playgroups and pet matchmaking
· Family-friendly fun for all ages
Adoptions are crucial as the shelter is dozens of dogs over capacity.
Normally dog adoptions cost $85. Every adopted animal comes with free vaccinations, spay/neuter and microchipping, services that would cost $250 or more if done privately.
Shelter adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
Check out the hundreds available at www.fultonanimalservices.com/adopt.

Fulton County Pets of the week
This petite, golden-eyed boy with the sweetest folded ears is ready to find his people. Chico loves a good sniff on a walk, goes wild for treats, and will happily chase a ball around the yard.
When Chico meets new dogs, he takes a moment to warm up, but once he does? It's playtime. He has a wonderful way of reading other dogs and responding to their cues, and his confidence grows with every new friend he makes.
On leash, he's a dream, taking in every smell like it's the most important thing in the world. He's gentle, curious, and eager to learn.
Chico is the kind of dog who makes you smile just by being in the room. Come meet him and see for yourself!
You can stop by Fulton County Animal Services any day of the week to meet Chico and hundreds of other adoptable dogs and cats. Our address is 1251 Fulton Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30336. For more information about one of our pets, email adoptions@fultonanimalservices.com or call 404.613.0357.
