The people on staff for the county were quite unusual in that they seemed to really care and were very sweet to the animals I gave them. I'm sure they see horrible things and sometimes the worst in people. They were very comforting to me as I was about to cry.

When we adopted a cat, they went to every extreme to make sure my kid left with her cat. The cat was sick enough that she would have been euthanized were it not for volunteer veteranaians who kept her alive. She's still a jerk (so is the cat), but my kiddo cried tears of joy when we surprised with her "fur baby." They went to all lengths to make my kid happy, and they succeeded. Altogether an overwhelming emotional experience.

I would reach out to a rescue group first. This is a kill facility but I adopted my dog from there late Sept as he was on the urgent list.

Why does Mike Ledford, the director, have other jobs and is never at the shelter? Why does the shelter refuse to release open records, which is illegal? Why does the warden, Walt Davis, threaten volunteers? Why do they not treat wounded animals?

Heidi Stauff | Oct 3, 2018
S. Young | Oct 3, 2019

Because they can.

I don't work there but I suggest instead of the animal shelter you should probably take her to an animal hospital

Mari Garica | Oct 3, 2018

Why don't you have a bio of the dog or cat. It would be helpful to know if if the dogs are okay with other dogs or cats. Potty trained ,etc.

I'm looking for a Golden but the deposit is $500 -& 600 to pickup. I've always wanted a pup from a shelter. Would this be an all in one place for vet exams and puppies ?

There is a dog at 1317 Patterson Dr Gainesville. The dog is starving. I feed him when I feed my animals if they are not home I have pictures of him nothing but skin and bones. Every one I talk to ask me about the starving dog.

Carrie Boggan | Oct 3, 2018
Shannon Tucker | Oct 3, 2018

I would take the dog. Never mind the low life's that own it. There was a dog that lived behind us that was obviously abused. Mysteriously the dog disappeared and ended up with a wonderful family.

How much does it cost to adopt a dog?

Kelsey Crawford | Feb 4, 2022
Natalie Taylor | Feb 4, 2022

Well, it depends, like on what breed the dog is and how popular the breed is and some shelters go over priced so sometimes it depends on the shelter too.

Are all dogs free?!?!????

Asher Angel | Nov 6, 2021
Natalie Taylor | Feb 4, 2022

Not all dogs are free sometime they are but it cost money to get food and water etc but most you have an adoption fee

Hello good afternoon, I have a problem, I have some neighbors who release their two dogs and these dogs every so often break the garbage bags which I have to pick up, they have taken and even broken shoes.

Ony Fenix | Oct 2, 2021
Natalie Taylor | Feb 4, 2022

I think you should go talk to your neighbors and tell them that their dogs are getting into your trash and you would appreciate if they got a fence over kept them on a leash.

How much does it cost to have a 3 month kitten neutered? We rescued this kitten from a tree out of nowhere and kept her. We want to have her neutered.

There is a sweet stray kitten at my house. I have been feeding her and watering her. She is friendly.....young and very skinny. Is it possible for her to be picked up?? I do not have a crate....Can I borrow a crate from you and then bring her?

susan sparks | Oct 3, 2019
Ash Lynn | Oct 3, 2019

I dont work there, however, I've done alot of volunteer work there so I have an idea. They are incredibly busy so the odds of them coming out for a cat is slim. I believe they try to save pick up for dogs due to bite rish and such. Also, I had a situation with a stray and if you are feeding her they consider it as your cat because you have assumed the responsibility of caring for her. As far as the crate, they work with bare minimum funding so I dont think it's unlikely they will loan anything out. The facility doesnt use crates often so I'm not even sure they have any.

Can i surrender ferrets

I am a person who has adopted from this shelter and have no idea what they have at any time. I would try giving them a call or better yet just going in they will allow to 'visit' even take the dog for a walk around their property. Hope it's helpful

What is the process to get this “Humane” Society changed to a NO KILL “shelter”?

Cynthia Cox | Oct 3, 2019
Ash Lynn | Oct 3, 2019

This isnt the Humane Society. That is located about 5 minutes away. This is the shelter and I believe it is county funded. Humane societies normally are funded by donations not the county. I dont know how you would do it, but my personal starting point would be to call and find out who you could talk to about finding them more money. More funds=less animals being put down.

Can a dog be on a 29 ft runner in hall co?

Barry Vasser | Oct 3, 2019
Tracy Scott | Oct 3, 2019

Nov 1 2018 the new no unsupervised tether law went into edfect... the director of Animal Services explained it : Following the vote, Hall County Animal Services Director Mike Ledford said the new ordinance is not meant to punish responsible dog owners who may use a tether to allow their pets some time outdoors. "We want those folks to seek us out and get the [educational] information that we have that will allow them to do the things that they want to do with their pets but stay within the ordinance confinements," Ledford said. "I think there's flexibility in there for those folks." Ledford said the ordinance will be complaint-driven; his employees will not be traveling the county looking for violators. "We'll go out and act as an educational process for those citizens and let them know that there are other options besides tethering," Ledford said.

Good afternoon, if a poor family has a dog with 6 puppies born a couple of months ago but are not well cared for, especially the mother, who is very skinny and is still breastfeeding. If I give you the address, that family is not in trouble?

I agree with Lynda. They will ask them to surrender the dog and puppies. Bring them into the shelter they will take them.

How can i see a list of adoptable pets ! This website is a disgrace makes me wonder what the shelter is like !!?

I Donna Butler | Oct 3, 2019
George Holbert | Oct 3, 2019

It's a a municipal shelter, and any type of list is maintained by volunteers and can usually be found on Petfinder.com. The actual shelter employees all wear multiple hats, and do their best to maintain a clean and safe environment for the animals. But again, it's a municipal shelter, ran by Hall County. They are required to take any and all animals surrendered by Hall residents, along with the strays that animal control picks up. The number of intakes can range from just a hundred, to close to a thousand, in just one week. Given those circumstances, they do not have the staff or funding to maintain a website. This, this duty is delegated to volunteers. They have to be able to photograph and document each animal, along other things. This is a timely process, and physically and emotionally exhausting,so keeping volunteers that can do this is sometimes hard.

Just walk in. There really isnt a process. But, know that they are at max capacity most of the time so there is a real chance that your dog could be put down.

Where to take a dog at that is sick cannot take care of him Me

Sandy West | Oct 3, 2018
Katie K | Oct 3, 2018

Most animal shelters have a capacity/time limit and if/when it is reached animals are euthanized to make room for any incoming animals. Humane Societies don't euthanize animals so if/when they run out of space they have to turn you away. I highly recommend calling both the shelter and humane society first. Find out which one has more space available before driving out to either one

I suggest you call the Animal Shelter for the county in which you reside. My experience with my County's Animal Shelter (Hall County) has proven very beneficial. I adopted a pet that came from a home that had too animals for them to handle. I am delighted with the canine companion that is now part of my family. I pray that this helps you. - P.Owl
