Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter faces critical capacity, seeks immediate dog adoptions

Woody (Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter.)

The Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter in Lavonia has issued an urgent plea to the public and rescue organizations after reaching critical capacity with dogs.

What we know:

Shelter staff say at least 10 dogs must be adopted or rescued by 4 p.m. Friday, May 30, to avoid euthanasia.

What they’re saying:

“We are over capacity with dogs and have to make some difficult decisions if we do not get at least ten dogs out before 4:00,” the shelter said in a public appeal. “Euthanasia is our last resort, but we just don’t have any more space.”

Local perspective:

To encourage adoption and save lives, the shelter has reduced its adoption fees through Friday:

  • $50 for puppies
  • $40 for adult dogs
  • $40 for spayed or neutered dogs

Cats and kittens remain available for $45, and all adoptions include basic veterinary care.

What you can do:

Interested adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter in person. It is located at 870 Bear Creek Road in Lavonia and is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Rescue groups are also urged to reach out immediately to help with placement.

Adoptable pets and additional information can be found on the Friends of Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter – Lavonia, GA Facebook page.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
