On Saturday and Sunday, May 6 and 7, four local humane organizations will be participating during this year's national "Pet Adoptathon" sponsored by PETsMART and the North Shore Animal League. Adoption hours on both Saturday and Sunday will be from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Fayetteville PETsMART store in the Pavilion Shopping Center.

During last year's two day event, Georgia placed 11th in the country in the number of homeless animals that were adopted.

Besides a terrific selection of pets, there will be balloons for the kids, hourly prize drawings, and dog training and obedience demonstrations. On Saturday at 2 p.m., Diane Gordon, PETsMART Obedience instructor, will discuss the various methods of obedience problems, including housebreaking and "separation anxiety."

The volunteers of the nonprofit Fayette County Humane Society, Georgia Heartland Humane Society, Good Shepherd Humane Society and Griffin/Spalding Humane Society hope that everyone will come by to adopt a lifelong companion, make a donation, or sign up to volunteer their time, on behalf of the community's homeless animals.
