    The folks at Animal Control would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and the dogs still have stockings hanging from their kennels hoping for some holiday treats.

    In the past week, officers brought in three dogs with two reclaimed, two adopted, one going to P.A.W.S. Rescue, one going to Dreamer Dog Sanctuary Rescue, two going to Homeward Bound  Pet Rescue and five going to Tri-State Pet 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.
