Pet lovers strolled in all day Saturday at the Bartlett Animal Shelter’s annual event. The Rabies and Microchip Drive provided about 60 microchips and 80 rabies shots at reduced prices.

Adoptions were also reduced to just $47.50 on Saturday. Katy Bramlett said the shelter found new homes for about 10 animals during the day.

Visitors trickled in all day, and guests enjoyed free food from Ty’s Smokehouse BBQ, advice from a behavioral health trainer, and critter treats from Heavenly Hounds. Ditch and Jake from Rock 103 were on hand to broadcast live.
