Oh Athens, we're in trouble this week. With an extreme number of owner surrenders, our shelter is filled past its capacity level. Dogs need to leave here every day to make room for the new ones. We need adopters and more adopters!:-( Don't waste another moment as any minute could be the last for your dream dog.
A dog fills so many needs in a person's life. They act as our constant, loving companion; our guard and protector; our clown who brings bursts of sunny laughter into our lives, and so on. There is NO better time and NO time when you have been more needed by the precious souls you see featured here. These pups are all worth their weight in gold. Please adopt a friend today, and stick by him or her no matter what. Dogs are not disposable and would rather follow their human angel to Hades than to be in Heaven without you. Their loving owners (you) are their treasure, no matter what life throws at you. Your dog will love you regardless.
Shelter hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 10am-4pm
Saturday and Sunday 12pm-4pm
Closed Wednesdays
Site last updated May 13, 2008
Athenspets.net is updated with current pictures twice per week and updated status reports of each dog every other day or so. We keep it as current as we can, but there are times when you may see a dog featured here who may not still be available. Call Animal Control if you have questions about a dog.
