    The dogs at Fannin County Animal Control have one new year’s resolution: to become the best family member to a loving adoptee.

    In the past week, officers brought in four dogs with five reclaimed, two going to Heart Animal Rescue, two going to DeSoto Animal Rescue Society and two to Homeward Bound 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.
