Animal Control Unaffected by Cuts

Of the 6,000 cats and dogs adopted yearly, 17,000 are coming in, said Public Safety Cpt. Jeff Patellis.

Public Safety Cpt. Jeff Patellis gave residents an overview of Cobb County animal shelter operations at Commissioner JoAnn Birrell's town hall meeting last Thursday.

Patellis described the state-of-the art surgical facility at the shelter, where pets are spayed and neutered. All animals receive rabies vaccinations administered by the staff veterinarian.

Cobb County is one of the few Georgia counties to have a full-time veterinarian on staff.

Patellis describes shelter operations and the surgical facility in this article's accompanying videos.
