Our facilities are overcrowded and we are in desperate need of rescue organizations or adopters to come forward to assist in giving all of these animals a better quality of life and a forever home. Clayton County Animal Control puts out an Urgent List of 20 dogs weekly to assist rescue organizations highlight the dogs that have been in our facilities the longest. We have partners working diligently to raise funds for the rescue groups. These funds aid in the vetting of the animals and boarding required to aid the rescue groups pulling our animals. Without assistance from these amazing individuals, we would have to euthanize more dogs than we do. At this time, our euthanasia rate is right at 3%. This number is going to increase without the help from citizens and rescue groups. Unfortunately, at this time, our facilities are over capacity and we will have to begin to euthanize for space. This is not an action that any of us take lightly or want to do. We wish that all of our animals would make it into loving forever homes where they are pampered for the remainder of their lives. Any assistance from the community and rescue groups would be greatly appreciated. This week’s Urgent List will be a hard deadline of 1pm on Thursday, August 18, solely for space purposes. At this time, this week's Urgent list has six (6) dogs that either have been adopted or have rescue commitments. The remaining fourteen (14) dogs on the list will be euthanized on Friday if there are no adoptions or rescue commitments for them.
