First they tell you they can’t help you when you do have a stray cat come up to your house. Then they say if you trap it and bring it to the shelter then they’ll try to adopt it and or release it. Then when you do their work for them, they tell you they have no room and to take it back home with you. Then when you tell them you can’t do that, they say they’ll just put the cat down and insinuate it’s your fault even though you did exactly what the told you to do. Horrible customer service horrible people.

They do so much with so little. They try to get fosters Instead of keeping the animals in the shelter.

When adopting a pet do they give you any pet items (leash,food etc.)?

Roseann Haynes | Oct 3, 2019
Sarah W. | Oct 3, 2019

They have an area where stuff has been donated (leashes, collars, toys, beds, food, etc) that they allow you to look through and get for your newly adopted pet! 😊

If someone adopts an animal and can no longer keep it, do they have to surrender them or could they re-home it in order to prevent euthanizing?

Roll Tide | Oct 3, 2019
Haleigh Aileen | Oct 3, 2019

You can do either or. Just make sure you ask for a rehomeing fee. Just so it can help prevent harmful homes.

How do I report a situation about ferral cats in my neighborhood? My dogs have had worms and vet bills are costing me bc neighbor does not vaccinate them..nothing! What can I do? He has 20+ catsane they keep getting babies I'm over this

Annie bo'banni | Oct 3, 2019
Tybalt Songwyrm | Oct 3, 2019

If the cats come on your property, you can trap them and bring them into the shelter. Due to the way ordinances are, they won't come out to catch cats. You can get a cat trap for around $20 at tractor supply.

I got a puppy for my birthday and cant take care of him, if i give him to the animal shelter will he be put down or adopted?

Javier Ruiz | Oct 3, 2018
Jenna Hall | Oct 3, 2018

You will have to pay a surrender fee and its really to capacity. Try to see if u can find a home for him, anything is better than sitting in kennals for months.

Call them to setup an appointment. Owner surrender fee is $50 for a dog, and you need to be able to prove that you are a current Barrow county resident.

Do they have an email or application to volunteer? If so where would I find that?

They do a volunteer orientation every 1st Saturday of the month, at 10am, and 3rd Tuesday, at 1:30pm. You would fill out the application then.

Kathy Lee | Oct 2, 2020
John Propes | Oct 2, 2020

The shelter itself does not have a web site. But you can go to Facebook and find saving Barrow county animal control pets and see pictures. But that page is run by volunteers so it may not be as accurate as coming into the shelter and looking.

Wanda Chandler | Oct 2, 2020
Pamela Ray | Oct 2, 2020

I think they do gave them
