Autumn, Morris Are Shelter Pets of Week

Each week, the Douglas County Animal Shelter highlights a cat and a dog as the “Pets of the Week.” All animals at the Shelter are looking for loving and permanent homes, and it is hoped that the “Pets of the Week” highlight will help bring attention to all of the animals currently housed at the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

Autumn #9968 is a wonderful brindle Dutch Shepherd mix puppy. This dog is ready to make a smooth transition into a forever home. Autumn is crate-trained and likes to sleep in her crate at night. She is quite playful and enjoys playing fetch and with rope toys. She is up to date on shots, including rabies, and is heartworm negative.

Morris #10267 is a really pretty orange tabby male Domestic Shorthair kitten. This friendly little feline is all ready to grace your home with his presence and curl up with you on cold winter nights.

There are currently 56 cats and 70 dogs at the shelter. Some of the animals have already been spayed or neutered. All adoptable animals are listed on www.petfinder.com.

Cats available for adoption include domestic short hair, domestic medium hair and domestic long hair varieties.
Most of the cats are very sweet, get along with other cats, and are litter box trained.

Dogs include pit bulls, pit bull mixes, Shepherd mixes, German Shepherds, Labrador Retriever mixes, Australian Shepherd mixes, Chihuahua mixes, Shih Tzu, Poodle mixes, Shar Pei mixes, Terrier mixes, Pug mixes and more. Many of  the dogs know simple commands, are very loving, seem to get along well with other dogs and somewhat house-trained.

The Douglas County Animal Shelter is open Tuesday - Sunday afternoons, and is located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road) adjacent to the Cedar Mountain Landfill approximately 4.5 miles northwest of downtown Douglasville.
