Adoptable (Official) Georgia Dogs for May 3, 2018

This weekend, all pet adoptions at PAWS, the Floyd County Animal Shelter in Rome, will be free.

The fees — normally $40 for dogs and puppies and $35 for kittens and cats — will be paid by Cathy Kangas, CEO and founder of PRAI Beauty, as part of the company’s annual “Free The Shelters” event. It runs Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

There were about 80 animals awaiting adoption at PAWS Wednesday, according to animal control officer Jeff Mitchell.

“We would love to see a good turnout and empty the shelter,” Mitchell said. “We’re getting into puppy and kitten season and we’re going to need the room.”
