Manchito is a mixed breed brindle coat male 1-2 years old and approximately 40 pounds. He is a ball of energy and loves people and gets along well with most dogs. Manchito is a jumper and he would make a great Frisbie catcher.

Sassy is a sweetheart who loves people and the opportunity to get out and play and be a dog. She is a 1-2 years old mixed breed with beautiful markings and she is approximately 40 pounds. Sassy would be a great family dog for a young family.

Nas is a mixed breed brindle coated beautiful sog. Still a puppy and under a year  old and approximatley 40 pounds. Nas loves people and he deserves a life outside of the shelter and his fate. He would make a great family dog for a growing family.

Each of these dogs are on this week's IN DANGER list at DCAC. They have each been at the shelter for over a month and their time is short. They may all be put down this Friday morning if they are not adopted or rescued today or tomorrow. Please consider coming to see them and the other fine adoptable animals avaialble at the shelter. Every animal adopted or rescued is a life saved and space created for another deserving animal.

If you are interested in adopting Manchito, Sassy or Nas, or 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 learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view the DCAC PetFinder listings on their website.

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