3 Sweethearts Need Homes

These cats are available at the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

By Pat Hopper

Daisy is a female gray and silver Tabby with big gold eyes. Jasmine is a female brown and black Maine Coon X. Rosie is a female solid black American Bombay with sparkling gold eyes. All three were turned into the shelter on Aug. 2 in a trap, as the person feeding them in a trailer park could no longer feed and take care of them. They do not understand why they were placed in a steel cage that they could see outside but could not go out there. They have adjusted because they had no choice and are very sweet, enjoying any stroking or attention given them. They have received the FVRCP during the intake process and they have a sponsor for a free spay and rabies shots if rescued or adopted.

Hours of operation for the Douglas County Animal Shelter are: Monday closed; Tuesday noon to 7 p.m.; Wednesday noon to 5 p.m.; Thursday noon to 7 p.m.; Friday noon to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday 2 to 5 p.m.

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.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats is $25, and there is a $10 microchip 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 30 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. To learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view their PetFinder listings.
