    What many don’t realize is that often dogs are dropped off due to circumstances that are not their fault. Many may already be well mannered and trained, which saves their next parent the hassle.

    When you adopt a dog, you gain more than a pet. You gain a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally. Adopted dogs make the most gracious, loving, thankful pets.

    In the past week, officers brought in six dogs with four reclaimed, one adopted and one going 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.
