Please be aware that Fannin County Animal Control has far exceeded capacity. With only 18 kennels, there are some 30 dogs currently housed. Folks are urged to foster, adopt, reclaim dogs at the shelter as Animal Control officers are allowed to euthanize.

In the past week, officers brought in 17 dogs with 9 reclaimed, one going to Homeward Bound Pet Rescue and one going to Doggone Rescue.

Animal Control Officers and volunteers alike hope folks may be willing to open their home and their hearts to the dogs in their facility.

Community members are welcome to make item or monetary donations and may also walk dogs to help them get exercise.

Pet owners should make sure to properly tag and identify pets to prevent them being picked up unnecessarily. It is also advised to keep microchip information up to date. 

Hours of operation at Animal Control are Monday - Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at the facility. After hours the officers follow up with community concerns and respond to stray dog calls.

Call 706-632-3845 for information on any of the dogs at Animal Control, to donate, volunteer or to see if a lost family pet has been picked up.
