Animal Services Store

Store Picture

Did you know that your local Animal Shelter carries the following supplies?

Dog Leashes (many sizes and colors to choose from)
Dog Collars (many sizes, styles, and colors to choose from)
Cat Toys
Rawhide
Dog Toys
Cardboard Cat Carriers
Shampoo
Deodorizer

All items may be purchased for a minimum donation. The money goes back to the shelter and is used to buy additional items and food for the animals.

There is no need to make another stop after picking up your new family member; you can purchase all the items you need for your new pet right at the shelter. At the same time, you can have piece of mind knowing that the money is going to help all the other animals that you couldn't bring home!

Cat & Dog Tags

Cat & Dog Car Tag Picture Do you love animals and want to let everyone know about it? What better way then to get a Dog & Cat Sterilization License Plate for your vehicle! A small, one-time fee of $25.00 not only gets you this customized tag with a cute dog and cat, but $24.00 of the proceeds go toward a low cost spay/neuter program.

The Dog and Cat sterilization program will help pay participating veterinarians for dog and cat spay and neuter procedures, provide educational materials about the benefits of sterilization, and promote the sale of the dog and cat sterilization license plate. As with other “specialty” license plates, the Dog and Cat Sterilization License Plate is available at your local tag office in Georgia. Plates can be purchased for an extra $25 AT ANY TIME, regardless of birthday.

Purchasing the license plate is voluntary. It is an easy way to fund this important program and the great looking license plate will show others that you care about helping the animals! Sterilization (spaying & neutering) is the solution to dog and cat overpopulation.

Help Georgia control its pet population-get your tag today!
