DOGs need
homes UPDATED
Last month TWG alerted you to
the “death rate” at the Jasper County Animal Control
Shelter and that one good
soul was working hard to have these pets adopted.

After the article came out,
TWG found that there are two good
souls attempting to help
the animals at the Shelter. Pictures and descriptions of the pets
available at the Jasper Shelter
are being posted on Hoobly, Petfinder, and
Craigslist.
Here are links to

GREAT NEWS:
We have pictures of 3 dogs that have
found GREAT homes! A Beagle, German
Shepherd, and a
Cocker Spaniel. You can
see these are beautiful dogs—not some mangy mutt. These dogs had to be
someone’s pet and were
either lost or turned out.
SAD NEWS:
We have pictures of two of the many dogs
that have been euthanized. These dogs
were put down to make
room for more coming into the shelter that will likely
face the same fate. These were two sweet
dogs. The
black and white one was so calm, gentle, and laid back. The little
Shepherd mix was so friendly and outgoing.
She could have made an excellent pet
for a family with kids.
If you are a responsible owner, and are
considering a new pet, please visit our local animal shelter. The staff
is friendly, knowledgeable, and
helpful. They
know the personalities of the dogs and cats, and can tell you
what they know
about them. Plus, the feeling
you get knowing that you had a hand in saving a life, is
beyond description,
and you will be well rewarded with an ever grateful pet!
The
Jasper County Animal Control Shelter is open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
from 9AM to 12Noon.
Their telephone
number is 706-468-0396. The Shelter is
located behind the Senior Citizens Center on Hwy 212 W.
