The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is inviting the community to come out and adopt a pet during a special adoption event this Saturday.
Pet owners in Chattooga County will have an opportunity to protect their animals at no cost during an upcoming free vaccination and microchipping event.
The event is scheduled for Friday, May 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tractor Supply, located at 11788 Highway 27 in Summerville.
Organizers say the clinic will offer rabies vaccines for dogs and cats, DHPP vaccines for dogs, FVRCP vaccines for cats, and microchipping services.
The event is being held for dogs and cats belonging to Chattooga County residents and is sponsored by the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia in partnership with the Chattooga County Animal Shelter.
All dogs must be on a leash and all cats in a crate.
Officials say the event is a great opportunity for pet owners to ensure their animals are up to date on vaccinations and properly identified.
