Adoption

hours will be 11 a.m. to 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. Saturday at 2 p.m., Diane

Gordon, PETsMART obedience instructor, will discuss the

various methods of dealing with 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 are

inviting everyone to adopt a lifelong companion, make a

donation, or sign up to volunteer some time on behalf of

the community's homeless animals.
