The Bibb County Sheriff's Office is working to "clear the shelter."
People had the opportunity on Saturday to adopt dogs for only $50 and cats for $35.
The adoption fee included the first vaccinations, micro-chipping and spaying and neutering.
Major Chris Patterson with animal services says it's important to match our furry friends with the right owner during this event.
"If it's not a good fit for the adopter, they may abandon the animal. We certainly don't want that, or they may return the animal, but the crucial part is making a suitable match between the adopter and the animal," he said.
Patterson says they plan to host this event again in the future.
