Barrow County Animal Control is expanding its shelter hours to accommodate more families looking to adopt. The shelter has added Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to noon.

Barrow County Animal Control Shelter is expanding their hours to accommodate more families looking to adopt. The shelter has added Saturday hours from 9am-12pm for adoptions and also Wednesday afternoons from 1pm-5pm. This change is greatly needed in order to increase the number of animals being adopted out of our shelter. Please share these new hours with your friends and please stop by the shelter on Saturday. Even if you are not currently looking for a new pet please take a walk through the shelter this Saturday, October 27th to support this change.* As a side note, if you have never been to the shelter please note that walking through the shelter can be intimidating the first time you go. The animals can bark loudly which can be frightening to some. In reality most of the animals are probably just barking in an effort to get you to come over and talk to them. What from a distance may appear to be a loud frightening dog upon approach may actually be a big sweetie simply wanting your attention.** Here is a complete list of the shelters hours: Shelter Hours: The shelter is open to the public Saturdays from 9am to 12pm The shelter is open to the public from 8am to 5pm on the following days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday The shelter is open to the public from 1pm to 5pm on: Wednesdays They are closed to the public on: Sunday and Holidays Location: 616 Barrow Park Drive Winder, GA 30680 770-307-3012 Β
