Final Two Weeks of "Home for the Pawlidays" Drive

DeKalb County Animal Services' Home for the Pawlidays promotion is winding down in its final two weeks.

Between now and Jan. 1, 2014, you can adopt any dog or puppy at the shelter — 845 Camp Road in Decatur — for $20. Any cat or kitten at the shelter may be purchased for only $10.

All adopted pets will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm or combo tested and dewormed. The services have a retail value of more than $200 and the shelter's standard adoption screening criteria still apply.

According to DCAS Director Susan Feingold, the goal of the promotion is to find homes for the animals during the holidays.

“All of our wonderful animals deserve a warm bed to lie in and a family to love them, especially during the holidays,” she said in a statement.

“We hope this promotion will encourage people to come in, adopt, save lives and gain a wonderful new family member.”
