Laney, Another Success Story

This is Laney, another of the success stories of Douglas county animal control during the past year. Laney came into the shelter late last summer as a citizen turn in, along with a Beagle dog who was her companion when they were found.

The little Beagle wasn't there long as he was rescued by USDA to go into their dog program for agriculture sniffing dogs. Laney meanwhile stayed behind for several weeks until Christie and Drew at Life is Labs saw her and decided that she was the perfect dog for someone to love and nurture.

They soon rescued Laney and took her to their boarding and training facility in Carroll county where they immediately determined that she was very intelligent loving and readily addaptable to being trained. After spending the past several months at life is labs and after learning training exercises in preparation for adoption, Laney was adopted this past week by a loving family.

Laney now has a new loving family and a forever home as a result of those involved all along the way in helping her after she came in as a stray at the Douglas county shelter. Laney is another graduate of the efforts of those involved over the past year and their efforts to see loveable and healthy animals re-homed from the shelter. All it takes is time, consideration and love and most of those coming into the shelter can obtain the same results as Laney. Congratulations to Laney and her new family!

There are many other dogs and cats like Laney that are available for adoption at the shelter weekly and they need our help to find then forever loving homes. Please take the time to visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road) this week.

Or you can visit the Douglas county shelter pets in depth and with personal commentaries on individual animals by those who know them best. Their photos are posted and profiled daily on volunteer pages at: Rainbow Connections on Facebook  Or our sister page at: Furbabies of DCAS on Facebook. Or the other advocate pages like Douglasville Pawlunteers or Animal Advocate Georgia or Douglas County Animal Friends.

Douglas County Animal Control also maintains PetFinder listings on their website.

Pet listings on the volunteer pages are updated daily; therefore, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your visiting the shelter. Finding forever homes for these pets is the goal of those involved in the volunteer efforts of the past year. So please consider giving another of these  loving pets a home if the one you first saw on one of our pages has already been adopted when you come to the shelter. Come see these sweet dogs and cats and allow them to show you just how special they each can be once they are given a chance to be loved and to have a loving home.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at the shelter are $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. That means for $35 you have the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a homeless fur kid a forever home.

All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive distemper as part of a five way vaccination). 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, Kittens and puppies are given extended time. The Douglas County Animal Shelter phone is: 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.
