Monroe County Animal Control Adoptable Dogs | Families

Monroe County's small animal shelter fills up quickly, as most government-run shelters do. Animal Control picks up lost, stray and abandoned dogs for the entire county.

The dogs are held as long as possible at the shelter, but need to find homes as quickly as possible, or be reclaimed by their owners.

All adoptions go through Save A Pet rescue in Forsyth. You can call them at 478-994-7976.

Monroe County Animal Control shelter is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The shelter, at 157 L. Cary Bittick Drive in Forsyth, is closed on some holidays.

If your dog is lost, you should go to the shelter in person to see if it is there. What looks like a Labrador retriever mix to you may look like a pitbull mix to the staff, so they may not recognize your pet.

For more information, call the shelter at 478-994-7976.
