GAINESVILLE, GA — The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) is waiving adoption fees for cats and dogs over six months of age from Saturday, July 5 through Saturday, July 19 as part of the nationwide Empty the Shelters adoption initiative, sponsored by the BISSELL Pet Foundation.

This special event is designed to reduce pet homelessness by helping loving, responsible pet owners connect with fully vetted animals ready for adoption. All pets available through the program are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home.

Adoptions will take place during HSNEGA’s normal business hours at:
Humane Society of Northeast Georgia
845 W. Ridge Road
Gainesville, GA 30501

Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion or a calm lap cat, this is an opportunity to open your heart and home while giving an animal in need a second chance. Serious, committed adopters only, please.
