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.
