Athens-Clarke County Animal Services protects the public safety and health from at-large and dangerous animals and protects animals from inhumane treatment. Animal Services provides the following services for citizens: Adoption or reclaiming of impounded and surrendered dogs, cats and other domestic animals; Enforcement of the Athens-Clarke County Animal Services Ordinances; Information regarding lost or found pets; Investigations of allegations of animal cruelty; Public education on a variety of topics related to animals; Public safety from dangerous or seriously sick or injured animals and at-large dogs.
All adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis in the timestamped order that a potential adopter submitted the online application.

During this 5-day window, no animal on a stray hold may be adopted or transferred, however anyone interested in a specific pet may place an adoption application on this animal through their Petango profile on our webpage.
