2. All About Animals, a pet rescue group in Macon, organized an adoption event in Carolyn Crayton Park where visitors had the opportunity to meet adorable dogs and cats looking for forever homes. Adoption fees were reduced to $200 for the weekend, and applications and adoption contracts were readily available. In addition to adoptions, the event offered merchandise, food, and drinks, with support from Bonefish Grill. For those who couldn't attend, All About Animals regularly shares adoptable animals on their Facebook page to raise awareness about homeless pets in the area. (WMAZ)
