Please call the shelter at (706) 795-2868 to schedule a meet and greet.Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter is a non-profit shelter serving over 720 square miles. We are open intake, meaning we can not turn away animals from either county we serve. Our shelter intakes double or triple it's capacity every month so it is essential we place animals quickly into adoptive homes. Since so many animals enter the shelter we often don't have enough volunteers to write an individual bio for each. Please feel free to call the shelter Wednesday-Sunday to inquire about the animal you are interested in. 706-795-2868.Viewing and adoption hours at our shelter are Wednesday through Sunday from 12 PM to 5 PM. All adoption fees include age-appropriate vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, and spay or neuter, microchip, and adoption packet. Fees:Dogs over 6 months old: $100Puppies under 6 months: $200. Cats and Kittens are $75 ($65 without microchip). For your convenience you can fill out an adoption application for any of our current residents at www.moaspets.com. Join us on Facebook athttps://www.facebook.com/moaspets. It's a great way to stay up to the minute on the furry 4 legged friends we have looking for a loving forever home. We are located at:1888 Colbert Danielsville Rd Danielsville, GA 30633 706-795-2868NOTE: Our adoptions are first come first served, simply filling out an application does not mean the animal will be held for you, you must come meet the animal in person in order to be considered for adoption.If you rent you must bring your lease or a letter from your landlord stating you may adopt.

Story
Woof woof! Hello there, future family! My name's Sully, and I'm here to tell you why I'm the perfect furry friend for you. I'm a 1-year-old Belgian Shepherd with a beautiful tan and black coat, weighing in at a healthy 47 pounds. I found myself lost and ended up at the shelter on 05/08/2024, but I'm staying positive and hoping to find my forever home soon. I'm not neutered yet, but don't worry, that'll be taken care of before I come home with you. And good news – all my shots are up to date, so you can be sure I'm healthy and ready to join your family right away! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm full of energy and love to play, making me the perfect companion for an active family. I'm sweet, attentive, and oh-so-cute, with a playful personality that will keep you smiling every day. Whether it's a game of fetch, a long walk, or just some fun in the yard, I'm always up for an adventure. I'm also very attentive and eager to learn new things, which makes training a breeze. Imagine all the tricks and commands we can master together! So, what do you say? Are you ready to open your heart and home to a playful and loving dog like me? Come meet me at cage #81, and let's see if we're a match made in doggy heaven. My ID is 657440, but you'll know me by my wagging tail and the sparkle in my eyes. I can't wait to meet you and start our exciting journey together. Let's make some wonderful memories and create a bond that lasts a lifetime! 🐾❤️ Love, Sully Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers.
