Georgia Animal Shelters

If you have found a stray dog and are unable to keep the dog while trying to find it's owner, please take the dog to the local animal shelter in the county where the dog was found or notify animal control. Regulations prevent us from accepting stray dogs into our rescue without that dog having spent the required time in an animal shelter. This time is mandatory in order to allow the owner to reclaim their lost or stray dog.

If you like, you can notify us after the dog has been taken to the shelter and we will be happy to follow up once the required reclamation period has passed.
