Animal shelters offering free MVP pet adoptions

- PAMELA MILLER FOR THE AJC

LifeLine Animal Project is asking for the support of the Atlanta community to help get animals out of the Fulton shelter and into loving homes before upcoming renovation­s, according to a news release.

In celebratio­n of the upcoming Super Bowl, the shelter is offering free adoptions on select dog and cat MVPs (most valuable pets) at the Fulton County Animal Services shelter, now through Super Bowl Sunday. An MVP is any dog or cat with a football sticker on their cage card. MVPs are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipp­ed and can leave the shelter the same day.

About 100 MVPs will also be available at LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services shelter that is caring for a higher number of animals than usual and is also in need of adopters.

The renovation­s at the Fulton shelter, which are being conducted by Fulton County government to address rodent issues, will involve removing all ceilings in the front of the building and replacing them with an open concept to prevent any further issues. This will provide a better experience for guests, cut down on odors and improve the overall shelter environmen­t.

Locations: Fulton County Animal Services, 860 Marietta Blvd, Atlanta; DeKalb County Animal Services, 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Chamblee; or the LifeLine Dog House & Kitty Motel, 129 Lake St., Avondale Estates.
