An important plea is going out from Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter, where supporters say more volunteers are needed to help meet the daily needs of animals waiting for homes. Shelter organizers say there is truly something for everyone to do, and no amount of help is too small when it comes to caring for the dogs and cats at the facility.
Earlier it was reported that the Chattooga County Animal Shelter was at full capacity and was not taking in animals. WZQZ News has been notified that information is incorrect. The shelter is operating normally at this time. Area residents are still encouraged to consider adopting animals from the Chattooga County Animal Shelter.
Many Chattooga County residents are welcoming the appointment of Charlie Long as the new Animal Control Director, but several are also expressing concerns about recent decisions announced by Commissioner Andy Allen regarding shelter operations and public access to adoptable animals.
