Newspaper Donations Needed for Animal Services

Services will be limited at ACCGov Animal Services Department on Wednesday, October 23 and Thursday, October 24 due to a recent increase of ringworm cases among animals in the facility. Services will be limited for both the cat and dog areas of the facility in order to deep clean the Adoption Center.

Animal Services will continue to provide field services by officers and owner reclaims of animals. General adoptions, stray animal intakes, most volunteer services, and facility visitations will not take place during October 23-24 at the Adoption Center and will resume on Friday, October 25.

Due to the high number of ringworm cases at the shelter, the department will be using an increased amount of newspaper in order to properly clean and disinfect. Any and all kinds of newspaper donations are welcomed and can be dropped off between 11am-4pm Monday-Saturday and Sunday from 12pm-3pm at 125 Buddy Christian Way, Athens GA 30605.
