Cherokee County Animal Control
(770) 345-7270 (Laurie)
We screen these dogs carefully to ensure that we present dogs which are friendly, gentle, and non-aggressive household pets; and of course Georgia law requires that each dog must be neutered, which further reduces aggressiveness. None of our dogs, regardless of breed, will make a good watchdog - they simply don't have the appropriate temperament. For all our sakes, we ask that you don't try to make them into something they cannot be. If you want an aggressive dog to be trained to guard your property, please look elsewhere. You'll be happier and so will we. And so will the dogs.
Adoptions
Cherokee County pursues an aggressive adoptions schedule for dogs. We have several adoptions each week:
Please call (770) 345-7270 and ask Laurie for more details
Dogs Available as of Tuesday, September 14, 1999 |
The following dogs are listed according to our best information. In many cases, because most of the dogs listed are lost dogs, we present our best estimate of the information about them. We can't absolutely guarantee its complete correctness in all cases, but we do guarantee that it is accurate to the best of our knowledge and belief, and that no attempt is being made to mislead you about the dogs. "Sex S/N": M = Male; NM = Neutered Male; F = Female; SF = Spayed Female "HB" Housebroken (or mostly so) - this is often difficult to determine in a Shelter, so many dogs which are not listed as housebroken may actually be trained "Age": Usually estimated by Shelter or foster home unless the dog is turned in by an owner. |
