🍂🐾 FALLING FOR FELINES!🐾🍂

🍁 Four little kittens are still waiting for their happily ever after, and we’re falling hard for these sweet faces! ❤️

Meet Sully, Arnold, Apricot, and Allspice! 🐱💕 All four are just 5 months old and have already spent 3.5 MONTHS in the shelter! They came to us when they were only 2 months old, and they’re still waiting for someone to choose them.

These babies deserve to spend their kittenhood in loving homes, not growing up in a shelter. 🏡❤️

These four kittens need out of the shelter and into loving homes as soon as possible! Their adoption fees have been reduced, making now the perfect time to fall in love and take one home. ❤️

🐾 Stop by, meet these sweet babies, and give them the forever homes they deserve!

You never know who might be looking for their new best friend. Let's get Sully, Arnold, Apricot, and Allspice OUT OF THE SHELTER and into loving homes! 🧡🏡

🎃🐾 THE ONLY SCARES THIS HALLOWEEN SHOULD BE MAKE-BELIEVE!

The costumes are ready, the candy bowls are full, and the doorbell is about to work overtime, but have you made a plan for your pets? 👻

Spalding County Animal Care & Control reminds pet owners that a little preparation can keep a fun night from becoming a frightening experience.

🍬 Keep treats out of reach. Candy, chocolate, gum, and discarded wrappers don’t belong within paw’s reach.

🚪 Stop an escape before it happens. Secure your pets before opening the door for trick-or-treaters.

🏡 Give them a quiet retreat. A comfortable indoor space away from visitors and doorbells can help pets feel secure.

🧡 Choose comfort over costumes. Never force your pet to dress up. A festive bandanna may be all the Halloween spirit they need!

🏷️ Check their identification. Make sure ID tags and microchip contact information are current.

🕯️ Decorate with curious paws in mind. Keep flames, electrical cords, and glow sticks safely out of reach.

Whether you have a pumpkin-loving pittie or a cat who already runs the haunted house, help them enjoy the holiday safely. 🐶🐈‍⬛

Share this reminder with a fellow pet owner and show us your Halloween cuties in the comments! 📸👇

🐾 FIVE FACES. FIVE NEW BEGINNINGS WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Meet Saga, Beauty, Lilly, Shane, and Missy, five dogs at Spalding County Animal Care & Control waiting for someone to give them a place to belong. 💙

This Freedom Friday, adoption fees for these five featured dogs are reduced to just $5 each!

Behind every photo is a dog whose story is still being written. A dog waiting for daily walks, a comfortable place to rest, and a family to grow with. This Friday, you have the opportunity to help write that next chapter.

Come meet these five, spend some time getting to know them, and talk with our team about who could be a good fit for your home and lifestyle. Choosing a companion is a lasting commitment, and we’re here to help you make that connection.

Every adoption gives a pet a fresh start and creates space for another animal who needs our care. That is what Freedom Friday is about: bringing our community together to turn time spent waiting into lives spent being loved.

📍 Come see us at Spalding County Animal Care & Control this Friday.

If adoption isn’t right for you today, you can still make a difference. Share this post, tell a friend, and help Saga, Beauty, Lilly, Shane, and Missy reach their future families.

Their next chapter could begin with you. 💛🐾

🐱 Spalding County, let’s see who REALLY runs your house!

They claim our favorite chairs, supervise everything we do, and turn an ordinary cardboard box into prime real estate. Somehow, between the mischief and the quiet moments curled up beside us, they become family. 💙

We’re celebrating "National Cat Day" and the cats who fill our homes with personality, companionship, and just the right amount of chaos.

📸 Drop a picture of you and your cat in the comments! Tell us their name and one thing that makes them unforgettable, an unusual nickname, a hilarious habit, or how they became part of your family.

As we celebrate the cats already loved at home, let’s remember those still waiting for their people. If you’re considering adding a feline companion, ask our team about adoption. 🏡

Big personalities. Endless love. Let’s fill these comments with both!🐾

💙 Before the sirens, there is a call. Behind every response, there is someone who chooses to show up.

On National First Responders Day, we honor the people who stand ready for Spalding County when our community needs them most.

To our Fire Department, who face danger to protect lives and homes. To our Sheriff’s Office, who answer calls filled with uncertainty and work to bring people safely through them. To our E911 dispatchers, whose steady voices turn fear into direction and keep help moving. To our Wellstar EMS teams, whose skill and compassion bring lifesaving care to someone’s hardest moments.

Thank you for the interrupted meals, the missed celebrations, the long nights, and the difficult calls you carry long after your shift ends. Thank you for being there for our residents—and for standing beside us when a response takes teamwork.

From all of us at Spalding County Animal Care & Control, it is a privilege to serve alongside you.

💙Every call. Every emergency. Every life. Thank you for always answering.💛

🐾 "They always come back” is not a plan for keeping your animal safe.

A loose animal can enter traffic, approach another pet, or create a dangerous encounter in seconds. Responsible ownership means taking steps to prevent those situations before they happen.

Spalding County’s ordinance requires animals to remain under lawful restraint or control. Check your gates, repair damaged fencing, and make sure unattended dogs cannot climb, dig, jump, or otherwise escape. If you use an invisible containment system, a sign must be posted indicating that it is in place.

Your animal’s safety, and its impact on others, is your responsibility.
Violations may result in citations and, where authorized, impoundment.

Know the law. Own the responsibility.

🐾Eight adoptions. One reunion. And one face we need you to notice.

During October 19–25, eight pets found adoptive homes and one dog returned to its owner. Every departure is worth celebrating, and we’re grateful to the families who made those moments possible.

That same week, 19 stray animals entered our care, bringing new needs and more pets counting on our community to help them find their way home, or find a new beginning.

❤️ This week, we’re putting the spotlight on Cream, our longest resident at 110 days in care. That’s more than three months of waiting for the opportunity so many others have received: a home beyond the shelter.

Spalding County, let’s help Cream get noticed. If you’re considering adoption, come meet Cream and speak with our staff about whether it could be the right match. If you can’t adopt, sharing this post can help reach someone who can.

These weekly updates reflect both our progress and the work still ahead. Our staff provides the daily care; our community helps make the next chapter possible.

🏡 Let’s give Cream something new to count: DAYS AT HOME.
