Vicky Is Pet of The Week

Vicky #6089

Vicky is this weeks Pet of The Week at DCAC. Vicky came to the shelter about five weeks ago as a terrified little dog who had been found cowering underneath a car. Vicky's personality slowly emerged and she has become one of the staff and volunteer favorites. Vicky dances on her hind legs as soon as she sees someone she knows approaching. Vicky is presently in the courtyard at the shelter along with several other female people loving dogs. Vicky greets all the visitors as they pull into the parking lot.

Vicky is a mixed breed Collie approximately 40 pounds and approximately one year old. Vicky loves to play and play with toys and will make a great family dog for a young family or anyone looking for a truly intelligent and loving little dog. Coe see her this week at the shelter.

If you are interested in adopting Vickyeor 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.
