Mark your calendars and leash up your four-legged friends because "Paws in the Park" is setting the stage for a pet adoption extravaganza in Clayton County. Set to take place on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this event promises a wholesome family day filled with furry encounters and the opportunity to bring home a new member of the family. The venue is none other than the canine-friendly confines of Clayton County International Park's Bark Park, located at 2300 Highway 138 SE, Jonesboro, GA 30236.
A highlight for attendees, the "Tail Trail Walk" at 11:00 a.m., offers a chance to take in the local scenery, parading pets, and bonding with potential new companions. The walk, with pets that are invited, must be kept on leashes at all times, encouraging mingling with fellow animal aficionados against a backdrop of Clayton County's natural beauty. According to Clayton's official event announcement, the day will be rounded out with giveaways, local pet vendors showcasing their wares and services, and of course, the main attraction: adoptable pets yearning for a place to call home.
While the event is touted as pet and family friendly, it goes beyond mere entertainment; it's an avenue for raising awareness about the importance of adopting pets and providing them with loving homes. Organizers have put out a call for local pet business owners who wish to contribute to the cause. Those interested in setting up a vendor booth and becoming a part of this community event are encouraged to reach out via email to [email protected]. More information can be gained, too, by joining the conversation on social media using the hashtag #ClaytonConnected.
