DOG
of the
WEEK

 
This handsome young man is Little Man,
when his back leg was BADLY injured,
his owners decided they didn't know
him any more. We felt he was a real
"keeper" and with donations he was able
to have his leg amputated.
With his leg removed, he's only full speed ahead!
He's loving the pampering, but needs a home of his own!

He must have an inside home only, and LOTS of love too!
Little Man is now Shatzie...
He can be found on the foster care page.

LOST
&
FOUND

Click above for information about  missing animals.


I know it's a long shot, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.  My dog went
missing February 5th from Tallahassee and I was wondering if you could check
and see if you had any dogs that match the description of my dog, or to keep this
information incase she is picked up.  I doubt she would have made it all the
way up to your area, but you never know.
She's an 8 year old Chow/Golden Retriever mix named Charlie.  She is wearing a
chain collar with pink on it, and has her most current rabies tag.  She's about
forty pounds, has erect ears, and dark eyes.  She's very timid, but I've been
told that she can be more social with strangers when she's not around me. 

Thank you very much,
Robin

·Spay/Neuter:  In the United States more than seven million pets are euthanized every year due to pet overpopulation.  That's nearly 20,000 pets euthanized each day because there simply are not enough homes for all of them.  The Bainbridge - Decatur County Humane Society strongly encourages you to spay/neuter your pets. 

The Humane Society asks that you please have your pets
spayed or neutered. 
Do not let them contribute to the pet overpopulation problem.
