Like to do things on the weekend with your dog?  You're in the right place.  Every weekend this column will feature the dog events for that weekend and the upcoming week, along with helpful links for more information.

Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4, PAWS Atlanta is offering a low-cost vaccination clinic with discounted shots, heartworm preventative and other services.  If you need to have your dog spayed or neutered, tomorrow is the day to sign up for discounted surgery, too.  PAWS Atlanta is at 5287 Covington Highway, Decatur, GA 30035.  For more information, call 770-593-1155 or visit the PAWS Atlanta website here
