Carla is Calling

Carla is outgoing and loves people and she gets along well with other dogs.

Carla ID #4699 is a female Jack Russell Terrier. Carla came to the shelter on May 12th as as stray and she is approximately 3-4 years old and about 30 pounds. She is a sweet and active little girl. Carla is outgoing and loves people and she gets along well with other dogs. Carla is hoping to be noticed and that someone will come and give her a forever home. Carla needs to be spayed and have her rabies vaccination after adoption. Her other vaccinations are current. If you are interested in a dog with tons of love to offer in a small package, then Carla could be your dog.

If you’re interested in adopting Carla or any of the other dogs or cats that are available, please visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road). The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed to the public on Monday, but open to rescue organizations on Mondays.

To learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view their PetFinder listings on their website. or come see the DCAC pets posted daily at Rainbow Connections on Facebook or see their current postings on our sister page Furbabies of DCAS.

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

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at DCAC is $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a fur kid a forever home is a small price to pay. All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive 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.
