Haralson County Animal Control

Awhile ago I called about an animal abuse that I witnessed, and they said they would go check it out but they never did. I also called about a stray dog I found on the side of the road, and the guy who answered the phone literally could not have cared less. He and I quote said, " Uh I don't know if we can take any dogs right now." From the tone of his voice, I could tell he didn't care about that dog at all. When I brought the stray in, the ladies working at the front desk were a lot nicer than the man on the phone. Please adopt the babies left at this shelter. This is the stray I found!

Pretty useless, to be honest. Called about a found puppy and he sound pretty bothered that he had to deal with it (being as it is his job), then he said that he wouldn't be able to get it until the next day. Yeah, again...pretty useless.

I called looking for my sisters dog kyngz. I called and was told MAM WE DONT PUT ANIMALS DOWN HERE!! a very mean person lied and dropped her off as a stray, they kept her 8 days and put her down. A beautiful healthy 1 year old. Yesterday my sister got the papers of her info about her being put to death. She was not a stray. So if yall cant find your pet please check here a week is not enough time for the owners to find them. Especially when you live in Alabama and u let someone come from Alabama and drop off knowing yall was too full. Rip kynz sorry we couldnt save you in time and i was lied to that they dont put animals dwn.

I have called several times since moving to the county a few years ago. The woman who "helped" me when I called told me that a stray I found was mine now because I took him out of the road and rain to safety before I called. She said I should have left him there and called them immediately. It made no sense. She agreed that it was an odd policy, but that's just how it is. Then I had to call them back about a group of clearly stray dogs and she said they couldn't do anything about it because she didnt know whether they belonged to someone. I asked isn't that the point of animal control- to assess the situation and possibly take the loose/possibly stray dogs and hold them safely to allow the owner to claim them? Then I had to call a third time knowing she wouldn't help me, but I had to
