Barrow County also seeks short-term fosters for these dogs:
Columbus Animal Control had to euthanize animals for space, according to the Ledger-Enquirer.
Since June, 20 dogs have been killed at the Columbus animal shelter because there wasn’t enough space. City officials who run the shelter as well as nonprofit rescue partners Paws Humane, Animal SOS and Animal Ark have identified their limitations and steps the public can take to help them.
Among the biggest limitations is space. The shelter is prevented by state law from turning away animals.
These factors played a role in the euthanization of 8 dogs on Aug. 10. Short and interim shelter director Contreanna Barker-Pearson told the L-E they did everything they could to prevent killing the dogs on Aug. 10, including leaving officers and animals in air-conditioned trucks as they tried to find space.
Animal Ark, Paws Humane and Animal SOS said they did as much as they could too. Space at Paws and Animal Ark’s facilities were full. Fosters couldn’t be found. Homes for the eight dogs weren’t found.
FOSTERS NEEDED!!! Please contact our rescue partners to foster Animal Ark Rescue Animal SOS Paws Humane Society

A foster program has been started to help save lives but more foster homes are needed. Adoptions have slowed to a trickle. There are more owner surrenders now than ever. If you have considered Adoption, and understand that it’s a lifetime commitment to the dog, please look through our Available Dog Album or stop by to meet a few dogs. Staff will try to match you with the best fit for your family.
On Saturday, they will host an adoption day with reduced adoption fees.
In an effort to find animals homes, a generous donor has sponsored a portion of all adoption fees. Adoptions on all animals will be $25.
Shelter will be open from 10am-2pm at 616 Barrow Park Court Winder, GA 30680

Josh is a lot of fun and will do well with an active owner(s). He is very energetic and eager to play. He is also very talkative. He will need a little help with his manners as he was a little jumpy when treats were involved.
Baloo is looking for his next best friend, he is very sweet and affectionate! He acted like he wanted to play when outside with another male dog.
Battey is a 6-month old female Terrier mix puppy who is available for adoption from Renegade Paws Rescue in Savannah GA.
This loving 6 month old pup has it all – cuddles, a love for life, playful puppy energy, and the CUTEST heart nose! Battey sleeps well in her crate at night, is 95% potty trained, and loves to go for walks with her humans. Battey is curious and gentle with cats and loves to play and snuggle with other pups. She’s just as happy snoozing on the couch with you as she is on a dog bed of her own. Battey would love an active family to adventure with!
Applesauce (aka AJ) is an adult female Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from Renegade Paws Rescue in Savannah GA.
AJ is immensely sweet and loves to love. Everyone is an instant friend. Dogs, cats, and humans of all ages alike. Her best friend is an 11-year-old human boy whose bed she chooses to sleep in every night. She is the most loyal of dogs and loves her tribe with all her might. Nothing compares to a proper snuggle. AJ is a fun-loving adventurer who knows how to turn up the volume and cause the grass in her backyard to feel dizzy from of all her zoomies. She loves to play catch or tug-of-war, run fast with her foster siblings, or stay active with you.
Bev is a senior female Hound mix who is available for adoption from Renegade Paws Rescue in Savannah GA.
I’m Bev and I’m so grateful to Renegade Paws for taking me in just in the nick of time. Now I have many more years to do what I like best – going for walks, riding in the car, learning new skills, & hanging out with my Mom (or Dad!). I’m house trained and crate trained, and I’m quiet in the house, even when you leave. I do like being the only dog in the house, though. So if it sounds like we’re a match, come meet me soon – please!
This sweet boy is Monty – he is quite an usual looking mixed breed. From the neck up, he looks like a rottweiler. From the neck down, he looks like a basset hound. Does that make him a Bassetweiler? A Rotthound? Who knows? But what we can tell you is this guy has personality plus. He is fun and goofy and affectionate, everyone who meets him loves him. He has a lot of energy and needs an active home. He loves kids (but can play a little rough) and he is good with submissive dogs but he has never been around cats. Monty is up to date with shots, neutered, negative for heartworms/on prevention and crate trained. To make Monty your forever dog, please submit an adoption application at www.myhstc.org
Newt is an adult male Beagle mix who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Terrell County in Dawson, GA.
Newt loves you already – and you’ve only just met through a picture! Newt is a highly trainable dog and already knows some basic commands. He is an active and incredibly smart boy who enjoys playing fetch and going for car rides. Newt would suit an active individual or family who wants an outgoing and friendly companion. He is a goofy bundle of enthusiasm, so adults and older children would probably be best. Newt gets along with other dogs. We are unsure about cats, but he does take an interest in chasing them. If you think you have the home for Newt, his shelter would love to find out more about you.
Little Bear is a 4-month old male wirehaired Terrier mix puppy who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Terrell County in Dawson, GA.
This sweet puppy is Little Bear – a wired hair terrier mix around 4 months old (as of 8-12-2022). He was voluntarily surrender to animal control by his owners because they decided they did not have time for a puppy. Their loss will be someone else’s gain because LB is awesome! He is very friendly and affectionate and learns commands easily. He is already crate trained and at the perfect age to be adopted to a home with other pets and kids. We hope someone will adopt this sweet boy soon! He is up to date with vetting. For adoption, please submit an adoption application at www.myhstc.org

The Thomasville Humane Society is wrapping up fee-waived dog adoptions, according to WALB.
Many pet shelters across south Georgia are at or near capacity. The Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society has been offering free adoptions all month to find homes for pets.
The shelter isn’t quite cleared yet but just Saturday there were 25 adoptions that took place. This bumps the overall total of adoptions throughout the month of August to over 140, but there are still some furry friends that need your help.
Right now, there are 105 cats and dogs on the property.
“In the shelter environment, while we do everything to make them comfortable, it’s really not an ideal situation or environment for them to live in,” he said. “These are good animals. They’re sweet, they’ve been sterilized, they’re medically sound, they’re behaviorally sound and we know that if we continue to market them and continue to promote their success that eventually, a family will come in.”
Once August is over, the adoption fee at the shelter will go back to around $100 depending on if you’re looking to adopt a dog or cat.
“Fostering is critically important. Currently, we have about 45 animals in foster care. So that’s a great resource for us. It’s a great way to volunteer and get involved,” he said.
