White County to offer free pet adoptions through Christmas

Feliz available at White County Animal Shelter (White County)

White County’s Animal Control services will offer pet adoptions to the public at no cost through Christmas amid rising capacity at the shelter.

The Clear the Shelter event will see that all animals receive spay/neuter, rabies and microchipping services before adoption at no cost.

“Our shelter is nearing capacity, and our animal control officers want to see these pets go to loving homes for the holidays,” Don Strength, animal control division chief, said. “This is the perfect opportunity to provide these animals with a forever home. We hope families in our community will stop by the shelter and meet these pets.”

Members of the public can visit the shelter at 680 Industrial Blvd. in Cleveland. The facility is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

The shelter can also be reached by calling: (706) 219-7881.
