QUESTIONSWe also are here to promote the health, safety and welfare of all animals in Carroll County. One of our most important tasks is the promotion of adoption of animals from the shelter. We have many beautiful dogs and cats that are available to good homes. Secondly, we campaign to educate the public about res ponsible pet ownership. The grim task of euthanizing the unwanted and sick animals falls on us, the animal control officers. This duty is always performed in the most humane manner possible. The more pets people adopt from us the more lives we can save.
Georgia requires anyone adopting an animal from any animal shelter to have the pet spayed or neutered. Pets adopted before six months of age must be spayed or neutered at six months. Older animals must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption. The department does follow-up checks on all animals adopted from the shelter to verify compliance with this law.
