Fulton County residents can get free pet adoptions, vaccinations and microchipping at Rock Mill Park in Alpharetta on Thursday, Oct. 22.
Fulton County Commissioners Bob Ellis and Bridget Thorne organized the Pet Wellness & Adoption Day in partnership with LifeLine Animal Project's mobile clinic. Ellis, who represents District 2 and lives in Milton, announced the event on X on Oct. 13, urging pet owners to sign up before spots fill.

The event is limited to Fulton County residents who pre-register. Non-county residents who sign up will be rescheduled, according to the LifeLine registration page.
Spots are limited and appointments are required. Residents can book a time slot through LifeLine's Calendly registration page, linked in Ellis's post.
