The Wizard of Oz

Ozzie is currently in the courtyard with several other dogs where she spends her days greeting visitors in the parking lot at the animal shelter.

Ozzie isn't a wizard, but she does have a magical way of winning your heart. Ozzie ID #3744 came to the shelter as an owner surrender a few months ago. Ozzie is a sweet female hound mix who loves people. Ozzie is about 4-5 years old and she has been spayed and is current on all of her vaccinations. Ozzie is currently in the courtyard with several other dogs where she spends her days greeting visitors in the parking lot at the animal shelter. Ozzie would be a great addition to any family interested in adopting her. Come see her this week at DCAC animal shelter.

If you’re interested in adopting  Ozzie or any of the other dogs or cats that are available, please visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road). The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed to the public on Monday, but open to rescue organizations on Mondays.

Pet listings are updated daily, however, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your arrival and that after all is the goal. If the pet you are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many loveable pets an opportunity to be your forever friend and allow them to show you just how special they each are when they are given a chance.

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) and 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. 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.
