Dogs and Cats for Adoption

Help Needed at Cat Adoption Days

If you would like to volunteer and save cat lives, help is desperately needed at cat adoptions held at Petsmart on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The rescue group Cat Rangers can rescue more shelter cats if more volunteers and foster homes are available. Contact Gina Crittenden.

Sunny Needs Help Paying Dental Bills

Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb County need help with Shih Tzu Sunny's dental bills. If you can donate, please visit Angels Among Us Animal Sanctuary and click on the link to donate. Please indicate it is for Sunny's dental care.

People who no longer wanted a senior dog dumped Sunny in Cobb County a couple of weeks ago. Angels Among Us Animal Sanctuary stepped up to take him into their program. Sunny has been placed with a wonderful foster home. He is doing great despite being blind and fairly deaf. He's a spunky, old dog.
