Looking for a new best friend? August is the perfect time to adopt.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center is waiving adoption fees all month long as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters campaign. Through August 31, you can adopt any available dog for free. The only cost is the required $18 Franklin County dog license.

Every dog goes home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making it easier to welcome your new family member.
Not ready to commit? Try a doggy sleepover! On August 14 and 15, you can take a shelter dog home for the weekend. The shelter provides the food, leash, toys, and everything else you'll need. If you fall in love, you can make it official.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter is located at 4340 Tamarack Boulevard on Columbus' northeast side. No appointment is needed—just stop by and meet the dogs waiting for a second chance.

Sometimes your new best friend is just one kennel away.

Even after his passing, Ozzy Osbourne is still giving fans one hell of a scare.

Universal Studios just announced that the Prince of Darkness is getting his own haunted house at this year's Halloween Horror Nights. The attraction promises to take fans deep into Ozzy's twisted world, with his music blasting through every room.

The experience follows Ozzy's incredible journey—from growing up in Birmingham, England, to becoming one of the biggest legends in rock!

"[Ozzy's] music throughout every room is at the heart of it all. Fans will also see scenes inspired by Ozzy's journey, from his early days as a little boy growing up in Birmingham, England, riding the train to and from London, to the iconic imagery and characters from across his career." -Sharon Osbourne

"Bow at the throne of the Prince of Darkness in this haunted house inspired by the twisted mind of one of rock 'n' roll's greatest legends."

The Ozzy haunted house opens August 28th at Universal Orlando and September 3rd at Universal Studios Hollywood, running through November 1st.

Looks like even in the afterlife... Ozzy's still proving the show must go on.

If you want to do the Ohio State Fair like a seasoned veteran, here are some of the best pro tips (grounds map)

Pace yourself. If your first stop is a deep-fried cheesecake, pickle pizza, and birthday cake deviled eggs... you're probably not making it to the butter cow. Wednesday July 29th - Sunday August 9th

* Go early or go late. The crowds are much lighter before noon or after 6 p.m., especially on weekdays.

* Wear comfortable shoes. You'll easily rack up 15,000-20,000 steps.

* Bring a refillable water bottle. Staying hydrated will save you money and help beat the heat.

* Ride the SkyGlider first. It's the best way to get your bearings and gives you a great aerial view of the fairgrounds.

* Check the free entertainment schedule. Pig races, lumberjacks, live music, hypnotists, and animal shows are included with admission.

* Hit the Butter Cow early. It's one of the busiest attractions, but the building is now air-conditioned, making it a nice place to cool off.

* Don't just eat the famous foods. The Taste of Ohio area is a great place to try local Ohio-made products.

* Take advantage of deals. If you're going on a Thursday, look for "$3 Thursdays" and grab a coupon book to save on food and attractions.

* Use the free shuttle if your feet start giving out.

* End the night with the rides lit up. The Midway looks its best after dark.

Sheri Moon Zombie is stepping behind the microphone for the first time with her debut solo single, "I Love My Robot."

The actress and longtime creative partner of Rob Zombie takes a tongue-in-cheek jab at artificial intelligence while giving a nod to the robots that actually make life easier.

The track was produced by Zeuss, who's worked with Rob Zombie and Hatebreed, while Rob himself directed the music video.

Fans looking to add it to their collection can grab it on October 30, when it's released as a limited-edition 12-inch picture disc through Nuclear Blast. The vinyl features Sheri's "I Love My Robot" on Side A and Rob Zombie's new track, "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman," on Side B. Only 600 copies will be made worldwide, making it a must-have for collectors.
