Flea Preventative Needed!!
Heard County Animal Control is in need of Flea/Tick Preventative. The ticks and fleas are especially brutal this time of year! If you can buy a box, or even spare an extra dose from your stash, please send it to the shelter. Any of the trusted brands that work - Frontline, Advantix, Advantage, etc. Please do not send Biospot - it does not work. Needed for dogs, cats, any size will do because dogs and pups and cats of every size come in, or it can be divided with a syringe (Frontline can be). Do not send money
Sponsorship:
Heard County Animal Control does not directly take sponsor money.
You can contribute to these groups that help Heard County Animal Control:
