Here are Cobb County Animal Control's pets of the week, meaning they're available with full vet work for a discounted rate of $80.

Maddy: "Maddy is an ideal family dog. Her Yoda ears are so cute. Don’t let her age fool you—this girl has plenty of spunk and personality. She is a smart girl that knows how to sit and is well behaved. Maddy is looking for a great home to retire in!"

Lucy: "Lucy has an award-winning personality. She loves to play, though you can’t tell from her voluptuous figure. Lucy does great with kids as well. Pet her a few times, and she will show you her appreciation with lots of kisses. Take home this loving lady today!"

The $80 adoption fee includes:

• Spaying/neutering
• All vaccinations, including rabies
• Deworming
• Heartworm testing
• Feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus testing for cats
• A microchip

If you wish to adopt either of these lovable pets, call 770-499-4136 or visit the shelter at 1060 Al Bishop Drive in Marietta. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, it is open from 2 to 5 p.m.

Those who are unable to adopt but still want to help can make donations in the form of dog and cat food, animal toys, sheets, blankets or treats.
