Donations can be made directly to Barnesville Animal Clinic by giving them a call a (770) 358-3763. Checks can also be mailed or dropped off at Spalding County Animal Care and Control. They can be made out to Spalding County Animal Control and the note can say Rose's vet care or Emergency vet Fund.
*Donations needed for this sweet girl,*
Rose is set to start treatment this upcoming Monday and we need your help. It is a $1200 bill that covers a 5 month treatment plan! She is a sweet girl with a loving heart who wants a chance to thrive. We choose life and treatment over euthanasia.
Now how did we even find out sweet Rose was positive. You see in the past 2 months all dogs at the Spalding Shelter are being altered in advance of adoption, vaccinated twice,rabies vaccine, microchipped, given parasite treatment upon intake and subsequently each month. Cats are tested for felv and dogs are given a heartworm test. If they are negative started on heart guard and positive enrolled in treatments. That's a back story! Ready for home just has a longer highway to run.
Donations can be made directly to Barnesville Animal Clinic by giving them a call a (770) 358-3763. Checks can also be mailed or dropped off at Spalding County Animal Care and Control.

Spalding County residents! We would like to answer many questions that are circling the community as best as we can. See below.
Q: Where are you located?
A: 105 Justice Blvd., Griffin Georgia 30224
(Adoption Center)
Q: What is the boarding cost?
A: At this time, all animals brought to the shelter that qualify as a displaced pet are boarding at zero cost to the owner.
Q: What qualifies as a displaced pet?
A: Animals forced or removed from their homes due to the severe weather; cannot return because their home has been deemed inhabitable, unsafe, or without power.
Q: How long will Spalding County be boarding animals for?
A: We are intending on boarding animals for the next thirty days, however, we are encouraging owners that if they can locate alternative housing, or as soon as power is restored, to reclaim their pets to make available space.
Q: What do I do about the stray animals that show up at my home?
A: Due to staff shortage and high call volume, unless the stray animal poses a concern for safety, we ask that the stray animals are brought to the shelter.
Q: Does Spalding County microchip scan animals?
A: Yes, we are partnered with all four local veterinarian offices in Griffin to ensure all pets that have microchips are turned over to Spalding County so we can utilize our resources to reunite owners.
Q: Is Spalding County a “No-Kill” shelter?
A: Yes, since 2019 we have stopped euthanizing feline domestics and feral, along with friendly / adoptable canines.
Q: What does Spalding County do with pitbulls?
A: We adopt them. Everyday. Our most loved and commonly impounded breed.
Q: How can I help?
A: Volunteer! Donate! Spalding County is in need of experienced animal handlers and/or individuals who are prepared for small training sessions to first and foremost !!Dog Walk!!, !!Animal Care Provider!!, !!Animal Transportation!!, !!Animal Cage Cleaning, Feeding, and Water!!, !!Donation of Bleach!!, and !!Donation of Dog Food!!.
Q: Where
🐶 Reduced and waived adoption fees for all dogs through January 20th! 🐶
We want all these fur babies to have home for the holidays!🏠 All dogs are reduced to the cost to get them vetted (spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, microchip) and our cost is waived! If they're fully vetted, THEY'RE FREE!
These babies deserve to curl up under your tree for Christmas! 🎄
These are the things that make our job so much better. We deal with sad situations all the time but its the happy endings like these that make up for the bad. Honey was surrendered by her owner and did not like anyone getting near her and with a few weeks of interaction she warmed up and found a furever home. Its always hard finding a home for an animal with a "defect" (she only has 3 legs) but you can clearly see she is living her best life!
