Shelter Staff Encourages Local Families to Adopt
The Gwinnett Animal Shelter in partnership with Best Friends Animal Society has accepted 24 adoptable dogs from a Dillon, S.C., shelter affected by Hurricane Florence. Mandatory evacuation efforts have impacted already full shelters throughout the region, with more animals expected in the wake of this storm.
While many doggies and kitties are quickly adopted from the Gwinnett Animal Shelter, some get passed over time and time again just because they’re a little older, not so easy on the eyes or need a little more care. To help them get homes of their own, the shelter is hosting Adopt a Less-Adoptable-Pet Month, and cutting adoption fees to $20 all through September.
This month I’m pleased to report that the Gwinnett Animal Shelter continues to transform. Management of the facility moved from the police department to community services in April 2017. The staff is now led by Alan Davis and two deputy directors, Vern Sawyer and Chandler Giddes. The news below is from an update they presented to the Board of Commissioners recently.
The Gwinnett animal shelter is running multiple adoption specials in July to make it easier for you to take home your purrfect pet!
Specials include free adoptions every Friday, a reduced adoption fee of $20 for all animals throughout the month, and only $20 adoption fee for two kittens.
All dogs and cats can be adopted at no cost at the Gwinnett Animal Shelter from June 25 to June 30.
Lawrenceville – April is National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Month and includes National Pet Parents Day (April 29), Adopt a Shelter Pet Day (April 30), and National Hairball Awareness Day (April 25). In recognition of those special occasions and to honor our dedicated animal control officers, the Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement Division has cut adoption fees to $45 for dogs.
