The lady I spoke with was very rude, I found out they had my lost dog. He was adopted by someone so she basically told me it was my felt that my dog went missing and they had him for 8 days. So I ask for the new owners information, I only had received their home address. So I call and ask if they had their phone # so I can call before random going to a strangers house. They said they couldn’t give it to me and again blaming me for my dog being adopted. She then rudely hung up on me, so I took a chance and went to the address where my dog was. Lucky enough for me the guy was very nice and thoughtful and gave me my dog back..

Everyone was very helpful and kind. The facility was very clean and the dogs seemed healthy and well taken care of. Keep up the great work folks, y'all are unsung heroes.

Guy on the phone was of no help at all. He would not even answer my questions because I am not a Newton county resident. I literally just needed any information because I am not familiar with the area or county. Advised by a neighbor that if I stepped across the street I would be in Newton county since Rockdale runs into Newton. Atlas, neither one of these counties are any help.

Questions & Answers

Why doesn't Newton co animal control have a record of recently euthanized or adopted out animals. They don't seem to have any answers and when visited they only had 6 dogs? They can't even give an answer to as if a pet was maybe brought there.

you would have to fill out an open records request for information like that. If you are missing a dog, the best thing to do is go in in person, make flyers, and post on social media.

are you a no kill shelter?

All County shelters euthanize, it is unfortunate, but it happens. There are low kill shelters. You need to look at euthanasia rate not if they put down. All places with animals put down, some just take their animals to a vets office and don't do it at their location, so they can claim to be no kill.

I have a cat that needs surgery. The surgery is going to run around $170 not including 3 vaccines, antibiotics, & pain meds he will also need. Does anyone know of a place I can have this done at a discount? We can't afford this!

I know it's too late for you, but maybe someone else is wondering: paradox spay and neutering clinic is a bit further, but they charge much less than a regular vet.

Do your facility spay and neuter kittens, if so how much?

100 for everything
