Is your pet microchipped?

Dr. Harper, Director of Animals Services, recommends that every dog and cat be microchipped, even if they are an indoor pet.

Pro tip: Once your pet is microchipped, register their information with the microchipping company. This makes it easier for shelters, such as Animal Services, to quickly scan the microchip and return your pet to your home.

🛑Walthour Road Closure Extended 🛑

The Walthour Road closure to repair and stabilize the roadway shoulders, resurface the roadway and install a new sidewalk will be extended to October 31, 2026.

The contractor encountered unanticipated site conditions during construction that has delayed completion of the sheet pile wall and drainage structures. Construction is on-going and the contractor has committed to working on the project 7 days a week until the roadway can be re-opened.

We apologize for the inconvenience and any questions can be directed to Chatham County Engineering Department at (912) 652-7800.
