The image of cold dogs, lying on a hard, often wet cement floor paints a bleak picture of life in an animal shelter. That is why the Kuranda Dog Bed Company created a Donate a Bed Program to help provide dogs in shelters across the country with comfortable raised beds where they can relax during the time they are in the shelter. If you would like to help a shelter dog by providing a warm, dry, comfortable off the floor bed, just visit www.kuranda.com and click on “Donate a Bed” for the shelter of your choice.

Shelter hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 10am-4pm
Saturday and Sunday 12pm-4pm
Closed Wednesdays

Athenspets.net is updated with current pictures twice per week and updated status reports of each dog every other day or so. We keep it as current as we can, but there are times when you may see a dog featured here who may not still be available. Call Animal Control if you have questions about a dog.

 

Help! Animal control is in need of volunteers!  We need people to pop in during regular volunteer hours to walk the dogs and give them lots of love, attention, and baths! First-time volunteers need to come on Monday or Friday between 11 and 3 pm.  That way, an animal caretaker is here to show you around. If you have volunteered before, you can come on another business day anytime between 11:00 - 3:00. Some days the poor pound pups don't get let out of their pens at all!  They need you! Volunteers can come and leave on their own schedule as many or as few times per month as they want. Please call animal control at 706 613-3540 for more information. Just think, you may be the only person to give these dogs a walk, a hug, or a treat. They need you!!
