Animal Control Director, Brandy Prince, facilitates the difficult task of housing abandoned, homeless, and lost animals. Animal Control officers, Mark Finster and Jeremy Lee work tirelessly at the behest of the director and the county to ensure that animals are not only compassionately captured and cared for but also protecting animals from neglect and mistreatment.

Adoption Process

Chattooga County Animal Control has many dogs and cats that are available for adoption. Time is of the essence when it comes to adopting these animals because county ordinance only allows the center to hold the animals for five days.
