A Pretty Little Penny

Penny ID #5798

Penny came to the shelter after her previous owner took her to a local vet to have her euthanized. The vet refused and after examining her said that she had a slightly enlarged heart, but was otherwise a healthy senior Jack Russell Terrier with many good years ahead of her. Penny is 10-12 years old and approximately 15 pounds. She is very easy going calm and house broken. She refuses to go potty in her kennel and holds everything until she is walked. This is one sweet little gal who deserves the opportunity to live out her life in a loving home where people care about her. Could you be the one to give her that home?

If you are interested in adopting Penny and giving her that home, or if you are interested in one 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.
