Alexa is Pet of The Week

Alexa is a sweet little gal who has been at the shelter for a couple of months. A;exa is a favorite of staff and volunteers. She is a Shepherd mix female, approximatley 50 pounds and 1-2 years old. Alexa gets along well with other dogs and loves to play and romp. Alexa has beautiful eyes and a beautiful coat and she loves to play with tennis balls. Come see her today and giver her the opportunity to show you what a great little gal she is.

If you are interested in adopting Alexa or one of the many other dogs or cats that are available for adoption at the shelter, please take the time to visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road) this week.

Douglas County Animal Control maintains PetFinder listings on their website.

Or you can visit the Douglas County shelter pets posted and profiled daily on volunteer pages at: Rainbow Connections on Facebook  Or our sister page at: Furbabies of DCAS on Facebook.

Pet listings on each of these pages are updated daily; therefore, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your visiting the shelter. Finding forever homes for these pets is the goal, so please consider giving another loving pet a hoe if the one you first saw has already been adopted. Come see these sweet dogs and cats and allow them to show you just how special they each can be once they are given a chance to be loved and have a hoe.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at the shelter are $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. That mean for $35 you have the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a homeless fur kid a forever home. All during October! There are weekly specials and special adoption pricing for adoptions on many of the Dogs and Cats!  So don't miss the opportunity to adopt your new best friend this month.

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, Kittens and puppies 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.
