Additional adoption info
As Bryan County Animal Control, our budget is small. Our Animal Control Officers serves as Customer Service, Animal Intake, Code Enforcers, and decision makers. Animal Control Officers reserves the right to refuse anyone that doesn't fit the criteria for adoptions. We do home checks when possible, we are unable to do any type of background check on adopters. We ask a lot of questions and give a lot of information when it comes to adopting a pet from the shelter. Because of this, we tend to send more of our animals out to rescue organizations than adopting. Recent changes in our facilities have made it to where we can alter and get pets minor vet care on their way to the adopter's home.

About Bryan County Animal Control
Bryan County Animal Control has always been a small department in our local government. Small department status means we get a smaller budget share. Our recent hire of Animal Control Officers have been nothing less than dedicated in their mission to send animals to rescue or to adopt animals to loving homes. We want to continue the mission to connect potential owners to great pets that deserve the chance to know love for the rest of their lives. We accept monetary donations for spay and neuter, food donations, toys, beds and treats for our pets while they stay with us.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
