STORY 1:     Furkids teaming up with PetSmart to find homes for pets during National Adoption Week 

Gwinnett County residents are encouraged to adopt pets during National Adoption Week, running July 22-27. Furkids Animal Rescue, in partnership with PetSmart Charities, will host adoption events across metro Atlanta, including two in Gwinnett. Cat and kitten-focused events will take place on July 26 at PetSmart in Buford and July 27 in Norcross, both from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Summer, known as "kitten season," overwhelms shelters, making adoptions crucial. Furkids also offers dog adoptions at other locations. Visit furkids.org for available pets and event details.
