ACC ANIMAL CONTROL
45 Beaverdam Rd. • 706-613-3540
Just so you know - many purebred dogs also end
up at Animal Control for a variety of reasons, like
this beautiful Great Pyrenees. . , . ,
And then there are
the wonderful mutts
like the little girl
below - happy and
playful, even tnough
she’s missed some
meals. Will be
medium-sized.
There’s a big brain in
that little dachshund
mix head. This
friendly guy will have
vou wrapped around
his dainty paw pretty
quick. Loves the
ladies.
The folks at Animal Control
were singing this sweet
Corgi’s praises, and even
though every cage was full
(NOT good) they had him in
a makeshift pen in the lobby
and he sat quietly, unassuming
but interested. His name is
Brutus and his
owner is not
coming back!
