Lingling is a gorgeous white and black girl who has been in the shelter since 07/23/2012. The minute the door opens she jumps onto your shoulder, which was a suprise. She is a super sweet girl and will be a joy to add to your home.

Cat ID#: 5517

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

Adoption fees for dogs and cats are $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and to give a furkid a forever home is a small price to pay. All dogs and cats presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough and 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.
