Happy National Dog Day to all the good boys and girls we've picked up! If you want to be celebrating with us next year, be sure to adopt yourself a furry friend from Dawson County Humane Society 💛

Update: Owner is found, thanks everyone!

If you are located off 52 near Walker Dr and Antioch Church Rd and are missing two horses, please call 706-344-3232.

As a reminder, you can join our voluntary livestock registry by calling 706-344-3232 or emailing [email protected] and we will call you if we get reports of your animals being loose. Most owners on this list beat our officers out to the loose animals and have them contained before we even arrive. This saves precious minutes and prevents potentially fatal accidents.

Thank you to The Summit Ranch Equestrian Park for helping our officers safely load these horses and for containing them until we find the owners.

Thank you to Dawson County Sheriff's Office - Dawsonville, GA for your assistance as well!

We've clearly enjoyed spending the day with these horses, but we need them to go home now ☺️

If you live off 52 near Antioch Church Rd and Walker Dr and are missing 2 horses, please call us. They're safely contained, but we're going to need you to bring them home, because our officers have already brought home too many strays 😅 706-344-3232

Help us celebrate the work-iversary of ACO Ferguson by sending us a message if you've ever had a positive experience working with him. If he's ever connected you with resources, helped resolve an issue for you, brought your animals home safe, or helped get your barn kitties fixed. We'll share your kind words with him!
