Baboon loves treats and we love him. Also, his ears are the BEST. https://athenspets.net/Adoptables/53811-baboon/

Baboon has stolen my heart. He’s a good boy who loves playing fetch and knows basic commands like sit and come. His former foster said Baboon is house trained, good with kids, and likes other dogs. He loves to play and can get excited but is quick to calm down. I have a great time with Baboon. He’s obedient and fun. He’s also strong and can pull on the leash, but that’s something that can be worked on. Hopefully, this handsome, good-natured dog will find his forever family so...on Baboon ~ Athens, GA #53811 2 years 66 pounds Male neutered! Heartworm negative! Available now!

Do you recognize me? Surely someone misses me!

CLAIRE ~ Athens, GA Ledger #54564 2 years Female spayed! 64 pounds... Heartworm negative! Available as of 11/13 Why choose me? Claire is a well-behaved beauty. I imagine she’s also a wonderful companion. She certainly misses her family and wants to go home. She’d come to me and enjoy pets, but then she’d trot back to the gate and look back at me as if saying, It’s time for me to go home. Surely, her loved ones are missing her, too. She’s been well cared for and her coat is sleek and puppy soft. She also walks well on a leash and sits on command to be leashed. When I picked up the leash and told her to sit, she immediately sat down. I’d said the magic words, It’s time to go, but unfortunately, it wasn’t to where she wanted to go. Claire is a super sweet dog, and I hope she’s reclaimed, but if not, she’ll be a devoted companion to whoever adopts and loves her. If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or rescuing Claire, call 706-613-3540 to discuss options with staff. https://athenspets.net/Adoptables/54564-claire/ **ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL 125 Buddy Christian Way Athens, Georgia 30605 Phone: 706 613-3540 Fax: 706 613-3545 **SHELTER HOURS: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 11am-5pm; closed Wednesdays **LEARN HOW YOU CAN ADOPT OR RESCUE ME! http://athenspets.net/adoption-rescue-process/ **IF YOU’D PREFER TO SPONSOR a particular dog or cat in hopes of getting him/her rescued, http://athenspets.net/sponsorship-pledge-form/ **CHECK STATUS HERE: http://athenspets.net/dogs-currently-shelter/ NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE SHELTER UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT RESCUING OR ADOPTING THIS DOG!!!

DUCHESS ~ Athens, GA AVAILABLE NOW! Ledger #54506 7 years Female... 56 pounds Heartworm status n/a Available as of 11/2 Why choose me? Duchess hasn’t lived a life of royalty as her name would imply. She’s missing some hair on her tail and has a few raw places on her legs. Her owner moved away and left her behind, so she was understandably terrified when she was surrendered to the pound. Still, Duchess wants to be loved and has bonded with a supervisor and caretaker. She’s also beginning to meet new friends. Once she feels safe, she likes staying close and will also sit for treats. She’s a sweet girl who needs some TLC and a chance to be treated like a duchess!

While Buster was great in the home otherwise, he liked to chase the cat and was therefore returned.

Congratulations to ETC Georgia Inc. and the other folks who have worked so hard to improve the lives of the neediest dogs in our (extended) area! Last night, the Barrow County Commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance banning unattended tethering, a HUGE step forward for animal welfare. We send a big THANK YOU to everyone involved in this effort!
