Once very, very scared Pumpkin is still needing the help of rescue or special adopter....
From Officer Burrell:
This is Pumpkin. She has been here at the shelter since Oct. and really needs to find a good home. She came in so very scared we have not had her available to the public. She was so scared she wouldn't stand up she would crawl to you with her little nub tail wagging as fast as it could. She has made great progress since she has been here but will still need lots of work. Precious girl that we would love to find a local rescue who could help her out. Please if you can help with her please let us know.

From Officer Burrell:
This is Reba. She is a Golden Ret. mix approximately 9-12 months old that has been here at the shelter since early November. She has a sad story. She was hit by a car we think. The owner knew she was injured and refused to take her to the vet. We took her and found that she had an artery that was cut and she had lost a lot of blood. After that being repaired and several doses of medication she is here and doing well. We would like to find her a rescue to help her. If you can help her please let us know.
SPONSORSHIP TO HELP THE ANIMALS IN NEED is greatly appreciated. If you wish to sponsor one of the animals, please send an email to
satoashley@comcast.net (comcast.net) stating which of the dogs or cats you wish to sponsor. The sponsorship information will be forwarded to the officers at the shelter. Offers of medical sponsorship will additionally be added to email pleas of the animals they are designated for without personal information given. They are meant as ‘pledges’ only for future donations to the approved rescue that pulls the animal(s) to assist with their medical needs. Sponsors will be contacted with the information of the pulling rescue once all arrangments are finalized for the rescue of the animal(s).
ADOPTION AND OUT-OF-STATE RESCUE: Please request an application from the shelter
mburrell@barrowga.org (@barrowga.org) and
dharper@barrowga.org (@barrowga.org)
. Include the ID number of the animal(s) if available and not just name alone & write ‘application request’ in the subject line of correspondence. Completed applications are faxed/emailed back to the shelter for the approval process. Please be patient during this time - approved adopters will be contacted once the approval process is completed. After shelter hours, applications can be requested also from
satoashley@comcast.net (@comcast.net)
. Full veterinary services and boarding are available at Four Paws Veterinary Hospital and transport of the animal to the hospital is arranged.
GEORGIA RESCUE: Please contact the Barrow officers for specific information. Approved GA licensed rescues can pull animals free of charge with the veterinary care being the responsibility of the rescue. Out of state rescue, please request an application from the shelter. At this time, the shelter does not have specific out-of-state transport help, but may be able to assist with local, short distance transport if needed and the volunteers are available to do so.
CATS: The adoption fee for any cat is $100. The fee includes: spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a cat, but no veterinary services come with the cat. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the cat is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a cat posted whose last day has passed, that cat should be considered extremely urgent. Please call about those cats immediately as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available cats when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a cat or a person with an adoption application on a cat, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no cat falls through the cracks.
DOGS: The adoption fee for all dogs is $100. The fee includes: Spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper/parvo vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a dog, but no veterinary services come with the dog. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the dog is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a dog posted whose last day has passed, that dog should be considered extremely urgent. Please call immediately about those dogs as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available dogs when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a dog or a person with an application on a dog, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no dog falls through the cracks.
TRANSPORT FOR OUT OF STATE ADOPTERS AND RESCUES: Transport is the responsibility of the adopter/rescue respectively. At this time, the shelter does not have specific transport help. There are multiple resources available for this and please ask those involved in the rescue community for recommendations and references if needed. For a list of transport resources, please send a request via email.
IF YOU WISH TO SAVE AN ANIMAL IN NEED - PLEASE DON’T DELAY! Contact the shelter as early as possible to begin adoption/rescue preparations. Euthanization typically is on Wednesday mornings and Barrow is closed to the public. Contacting the shelter NO LATER THAN 5:00 on Tuesdays is in the best interest of the animals as it allows sufficient time to make adoption or rescue preparations without risk of last-minute issues. The shelter makes every available effort for the animals, but they need your timely and respectful cooperation to continue these efforts. Wednesday: please email the Barrow Co. officers BEFORE 8:30 AM if an animal is still in need of rescue.
WANT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED FROM THE MAILING LIST? If you would like to be added directly to the Barrow County weekly list of animals in need + updates, please send an email to
satoashley@comcast.net (@comcast.net)
