The featured dog of the week is the female Lab Mix shown with Fannin County Animal Control Manager John Drullinger.
She has a long, chocolaty coat with a patch of white on her chest, and this beauty has striking marigold colored eyes.
This gal is a burst of energy and would do best in an environment that would allow her to run and play.
Her and her sister, who is also pictured in this week’s issue of The News Observer, were surrendered by their owner April 15.
They will reside at Animal Control until adopted.
Inquire about this sweet pooch with Animal Control using her intake number 127-20.
In the past week, officers brought in five dogs with two reclaimed and none adopted. One dog was transported to Tri-State Pet Rescue and one to Homeward Bound, Doggone Pet Rescue and Hearts & Tails Rescue each.
Animal Control Officers and volunteers alike hope folks may be willing to open their home and their hearts to the dogs in their facility.
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 through Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. 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.
