ACC ANIMAL CONTROL
45 Beaverdam Rd. • 706-613-3540
As usual, there are SO many great dogs, at least
one in every available kennel and sometimes
more. Plenty of cute, assorted puppies ready to
win your heart with their exuberant joy, devoted
attention, and of course puppy kisses. And
remember that studies rave found mixed breeds
are often healthier and smarter than many pure-
breds. Mutts rule.
This beautiful, sweet girl
had just arrived and was
so frightened, but trying
to be wave. Tan and
sable long coat, well-
cared for adult female.
Long-legged white
American Bulldog is a
happy and handsome
fella. He needs someone
who can exercise/walk
him daily, and he'll
promise to be a good
boy who will brighten all
your days. . _
