$20 Spay/Neuter in September

The Atlanta Humane Society SUV will be at the Douglas County Animal Shelter September 27th & 28th offering $20 spay/neuter for pets. If your pet needs to be spayed or neutered, contact the shelter at: 770-942-5961 and make an appointment for one of the available days. Spayed and neutered pets are happier and healthier pets and they no longer add to the worries of unwanted litters, so have your pets spayed and neutered.

And please come to the shelter and look at the many wonderful dogs and cats that are in need of loving homes. Many of these animals are already spayed and neutered and all that is lacking is someone to give them a home and love them. The shelter has new hours and is now open until 7 PM Tuesdays and Thursdays to accomodate those interested in coming to the shelter after work to find that special dog or cat that they have been waiting for.

If you are interested in adopting any of the many other beautiful and sweet dogs or cats that are available for adoption, please take the time to visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road) this week. The summer months are the critical months to adopt and rescue dogs and cats, so please consider giving one of these dogs or cats a loving and forever home.

To see other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view the DCAC PetFinder listings on their website.

Or please visit the shelter pets posted and profiled daily at Rainbow Connections on Facebook.

Pet listings on each of these pages are updated daily; therefore, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your arrival at the shelter. That after all is the goal. If the pet you have seen promoted and are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many loveable pets an opportunity to be your forever friend. Come see them and allow them to show you just how special they each are once they are given a chance to be adopted.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at DCAC is $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a fur kid a forever home is a small price to pay. 

All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive distemper as part of a five way vaccination). All pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within thirty days of adoption, unless they are kittens or puppies and they are given extended time. The Douglas County Animal Shelter phone: 770-942-5961. If the line is busy, please keep trying as there is often limited staff to answer calls. However, messages left will be returned as time permits.
