GIVE THIS GUY A CHANCE
This young, male Pit Bull mix is
very friendly and a little bit goofy.
He loves people and seems very
intelligent. He will need a home
where he gets frequent walks and
has plenty of toys.
STILL HOPING
This adult female Husky mix was
found roaming with two other dogs.
All three are skinny and in need
of grooming, but as nice as they
can be. This girl seems like a real
sweetheart.
SIMPLY A SWEETHEART
This young male cat is still at the
shelter. He’s as friendly and cuddly
as he can be. He loves people and
has a great big purr. Call 770-307-
3012 to adopt and provide a new
home for him today.
Adoption Updates:
Last week the shelter took in more animals than it adopted out. “Kitten season” is in full
swing, which means many pregnant and mother cats and kittens are surrendered. Litters of
puppies and their mothers are also being brought in. The message? Spay and neuter your pets!
A few of our featured pets have been adopted. The little miniature pinscher we featured twice
got a home, as did the shy adult Border Collie female. The Llaso Apso went to a rescue and
the American Bulldog puppy and young male tabby cat both got new homes.
There are several wonderful, friendly, adult cats still at the shelter, including two super nice
neutered males. There is also a wonderful young, looks-to-be-pure-bred Husky pup, two adult
female Husky mixes and a couple of Australian Shepard puppies, both as sweet as can be.
These are just a few of the fine animals available for adoption. Call 770-307-3012 today.
