I adopted a 3 month old kitten and the staff went above and beyond to make sure she had every shot she needed and I had to wait 2 (excruciating) days for her spay! This is the sweetest, smartest kitten, I've had since my last babies and they all lived to be 20! I'm so in love with this little stinker! I named her Finn and I will also adopt my next pup and cat from this wonderful facility. ADOPT DO NOT SHOP!! We own a vet clinic and they still insisted on doing all the treatments in-house which speaks volumes to their professionalism and care for these animals. Right now my Basset Hound, Bogey, is going through chemo after a tumour removal surgery and having his support baby sister has helped him so much. My friends, Never lose sight of your bliss... read more

This shelter euthanized a dog I was in the process of adopting. Shelter staff were aware. The dog was a new resident and had no health or behavioral issues. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm not surprised. They need to be investigated. For sake and safety of animals, please share and spread the word not to bring animals to this shelter. There are so many no-kill shelters around and yet this shelter chooses to operate as a kill shelter when there are so many organizations and resources available nationwide to promote no-kill status. Really, SHAME on them for euthanizing healthy and loving animals! read more

I run a ferret rescue and have interacted with Cobb Services many times. The place is always clean. The staff is friendly. The animals are well taken care of. Is everything perfect? No, but that's not possible when you're working with live animals. When I'm ready to get a dog again, it will come from here. read more

This is one of the FEW remaining shelters in this country that still euthenizes healthy dogs based on a time limit. I have been volunteering, fostering, and rescuing for decades in multiple states across this country. No matter the lack of funding, resources, and labour, more than 90% of shelters STILL manage without euthenization. There is NO excuse at this point. read more

Such a cute facility and the people were very kind when I dropped off donations for animals. The cat area is very nice and you can tell the people really care. I didn't see the dog area, not sure if there is one at this campus. read more

This shelter does inside deals. Came to adopt a dog that was posted, filled out the adoption information on their website only to get there with some lady talking about she already adopted her (before they opened) and the receptionist saying she spoke with her sister already. If you're looking on their page be prepared to be disappointed. read more

Amazing staff. I adopted Ozzy and he so sweet I love him so much thank you. The facility is very clean. This month they're restocking their pantry. So I brought 12 cans of wet food and 4 pound bag of food with treats. You can get your adoption fee waived if you bring food for this month! read more

I adopted my fur child from here a couple weeks ago. When I first met her, she was on stray hold and not able to be adopted yet, but I visited every day and the staff was SO kind about it. I especially want to thank officer Michael, officer Hernandez and I think the other lady was officer Lydia (I can't remember exactly). Also their director Britini was very sweet and even reccomend a vet she used to work for. Every day that I visited they were so knowledgeable and sweet, making sure I had enough time to bond with her before taking her home (she's very shy and fearful). The staff here does the best they can with the resources they have, and although it is a kill shelter I understand that this is out of their control and I believe they do what is in the best interest of these animals given the circumstances. It's definitely a hard job to have, and I hope it encourages others to adopt. I got my dog spayed and vaccinated before taking her home and her fee was only $20 with everything included, given a special they were having in July. The best $20 I've ever spent. Thank you for all the work you guys do read more

Neighbors found an abused/neglected dog. I wanted to take him to the vet, but Chandler at Animal Control said they needed to catalog the evidence before finding him a new home and if I had him treated first there would be no chance. So I handed over this little old dog who had green teeth, badly matted fur, gummed up ears and toenails so neglected they curled round and twisted the little bones in his foot. Poor thing was in agony when he walked. I handed him over knowing he would be taken care of. Such nice people. But.. I like to follow up. They make money from these dogs after all. Soon he was listed on the website as up for adoption in a few days. Five people in my neighborhood on Nextdoor wanted to adopt him. Today he wasn't lIsted so I phoned up to check in on him. Spoke to Chandler again and his boss, Shawna Abbot, who told me the little dog 'hadn't seen a vet because it was the weekend', his nails hadn't even been cut and they'd handed him straight back to his abuser 'because a dog is property'. They lied to get the dog. Actively PREVENTED him from getting treated. Sent him back to live out the rest of his short life in agony. Here is a photo of his nails. They sent him back to walk on these.Think Chandler would want to walk on these? read more

FINAL UPDATE: I am incredibly disappointed in Cobb County Animal Services. They lied and made up their own rules throughout the entire process of us trying to take care and do what's best for this sweet boy. If I were able to do this again, I would have never posted in the Lost/Found Animals of Cobb Facebook group (now knowing that county officers monitor the page, and I was literally in contact with the owner whose information was on the puppy's chip) and I certainly would have never brought this poor puppy to the shelter. We were assured over the phone, after telling an employee the entire story of us being in contact with the individual on his chip, that we would be able to participate in a friendly finder program and be able to keep the dog during his stray hold. In good faith, we brought him to the shelter for intake and they back peddled on what they had told us was possible over the phone and would not let us leave with him. The puppy was upset and now has a bad case of kennel cough, and his demeanor is changed, more nervous and clearly upset. We know he was abandoned by his owners (we knew that before we brought him in and told the shelter, but they disregarded) so leaving him at the shelter for 10 DAYS over Christmas was incredibly sad. In conclusion, I am disappointed in the shelter's leadership and management. Please know that I have said this directly to the manager of the shelter, Jacob Arnold, who was adamant I was given incorrect information and made-up rules and regulations on the spot. I waited until today to give this update, because we were afraid that if they saw this before his adoption was open, they would retaliate. This fear was based on their tendency to make up rules and programs as they saw fit. If they truly cared about the animals in their possession, some by force, this puppy would have not had to spend 10 days over Christmas in a poorly run, and kennel cough laden animal jail. It was humans who failed this dog, but the dog was punished for it when it was not necessary. I am happy to report that we have adopted this sweet boy. But we will forever be weary and untrusting of the Cobb County Animal Shelter. PREVIOUS: Still not claimed. My husband is going to take him back to where we found him and do some canvassing in the area in case his owners are looking for him over there. If that doesn't work, we're dropping him off at Cobb Animal Shelter to let them do their own search or re-home if it comes to that. Officially heard from the previous owners. They say they cannot find the contact of who they re-homed him to. Based off of our interactions with them, we are leaning towards possible abandonment, but continuing to do our due diligence to locate possible most recent or "new" owners in North GA. Found miniature Australian Shepherd on Noonday Creek Trail in Kennesaw today at 4:30 PM. Scanned for a chip and learned his name, but owners listed on the chip claim they re-homed recently but have no contact information of who they re-homed to. read more

I went to the animal shelter with an appointment on Saturday Feb 12th to look into adopting a puppy. When I arrived a young lady was surrendering about 8 pit bull/Stratford mix puppies. She offered me the opportunity of taking anyone that I wanted. (Free) I feel in love with the blue/grey male (3months old) The shelter staff said that I couldn't adopt it from them until they had a vet see them & released them for adoption. I was told by the animal control officer of the shelter that if I wanted one they would take my name & number and call when the puppy was ready. They gave me the puppy's intake number to reference. I got a call late on Tuesday Feb 15th that the puppy was good to go! I said I would be there the next day by 3p to adopt the puppy. Needed to buy/order supplies! I arrived the next day around 3:15p (I live in Fairburn) and come to find out the staff let another family adopt the puppy that was neutered and promised to me!!!!!! WHO DIES THAT??? There were case notes on file stating that the puppy was being held for me and that I had until close of business to adopt it! The staff failed to read or see that.... so I ended up driving all that way just to come back home empty handed!!!! I will NEVER adopt a dog from that shelter- I will stick to individual breeders at least that way I get what I paid for!!! read more

I have to give these guys four stars, simply because of what they do. Also, the people I encountered while going through the adoption process were very friendly and patient. Overall, great adoption experience and I ended up with such a sweet 18 month old pit mix who is such a luvbug! :) That said, he was not healthy. We took him home on Tuesday night and the cough started Thursday. By Saturday morning, we were at Blue Pearl Animal Hospital, where he would stay the next three nights. $3000 later, we found out the poor guy had a total of five viruses, including kennel cough, hepatitis, herpes, and canine coronavirus. Luckily, he is now on the mend, but these things just don't go away over night. Looking forward to being able to take him for walks and have playtime! My husband and I already consider him a core family memeber and we are grateful for Cobb County being able to adopt him out to us. read more

The adoption process here is very simple and straightforward, unlike many of the other shelters/rescues in cobb and nearby surrounding areas. I adopted a kitten the same day. Although it doesn't smell the best inside, it is clean, and the employees were kind. For the entire month of July all animals under 1 are ONLY $20, and any animal over 1 is FREE so i got a steal of a deal. My kitten was only $20!!! Every other shelter/rescue i've been looking at in the area are asking AT LEAST $150. So now i can use that extra money to spoil my little one even more!! I would give it 5 starts but the only thing i did not like was that there is no bonding space for cats/kittens, like they have for dogs, so you have to stay in that room with the officer looking over your shoulder... which kinda of made me feel rushed picking a kitten and meeting them. nonetheless I am happy with my kitten and my experience adopting here. if i were to adopt another one it will be from this shelter. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. My sisters husband and step daughter were both badly bitten by a dog being shown by the staff and had to go to the emergency room. How could they not know that this dog was vicious?! If that little girl had not been in her daddy's arms that dog could have bitten her face or worse. Unacceptable! read more

We made an appointment to visit a rescue dog to adopt her and drove an hour to the shelter only to get there and them to tell us she was adopted this morning.

Do not surrender your pets here. They lie about being a no-kill shelter!! When filling out paperwork I noticed it highlighted there was a high possibility of them being euthanized. When I pointed it out, the employee tried to downplay it and told me don't worry about it because it's not a high chance due to them not being overcrowded with other pets. I truly believe our two fur babies are gone because I was told a few days after that they weren't in the system (no longer in their facility). I find it hard to believe that they were adopted that quick! On top of that, I left a voicemail with the manager well over a month ago and never received a call back. I think I'm just going to accept that they may be gone. I pray that it wasn't painful and they felt my love for them. I would've given them no stars if that option was available. read more

Just had to leave my long time companion's at this place. At first when I called I got the cat lady from hell who found it her job to scold adults on the care off cats. Ummm not needed lady.

I feel a little bad giving this place 4 stars given the things that inevitably take place here, but as far as animal shelters go, this place is really top notch. After purchasing a house recently, we decided to add to our family that had included only 1 dog for a very long time. I was hesitant to go the animal control route, because in my line of work, I know first hand the kind of roulette you're playing with what kind of health or behavior problems you'll end up with. However, I was delighted to learn that CCAC has a group of volunteers who work hard to get to know the animals, take pictures and post them on petfinder and Facebook, and just work really hard to get adopted. Also, the animals here are all vaccinated upon intake, heartworm tested, given a dose of preventative, and spayed or neutered upon adoption if not already done. The adoption fee is only $110 for all of that! I decided that it was important to rescue a dog who would otherwise be euthanized, so we decided to make the drive up to Cobb and see what they had to offer. We ended up choosing a lovely dog who had just been turned in by her family. She was very healthy, housebroken, and very cute. We kept her for 3 weeks before determining that she just wasn't going to work in our household. She kept beating up on my 11 year old German Shepherd, and I just didn't think it was fair to her to spend her golden years getting attacked (aggressively and to the point of bleeding) by a younger dog. I had to make the very heartbreaking decision to return the new dog to CCAC. I knew that my choice may very well end up in her losing her life. Thankfully, the staff was fabulous. They were super nice to me as I stood there crying and handing over the sweet dog that just couldn't get along with my own sweet dog. They promised to try to find her a new home as an only dog. They also offered to let me adopt another dog and waive the adoption fee, just because I had given this girl a long 3 weeks to try to work out the differences we were having. I learned that many people bring dogs back within hours and never give them a chance to adjust to their new surroundings! How sad.... One of the officers asked me to go back and look at a dog who everyone there loved, so I obliged but I just wasn't ready to make another decision just yet. I thanked them profusely and went home to deal with how terrible I felt over the whole thing. A couple of days later, I decided that the only way I was going to feel better was to go save another dog from the shelter, so I returned to take home the dog that I had seen at the previous visit. I am happy to report that he is fitting in very well. Also, they remembered me and let me know that my "old-new" dog had already had interest from potential adopters who were willing to work on her dog aggression. This made me feel much better about the decision I had to make. I would absolutely recommend CCAC as a great place to get a dog who might otherwise never have a loving home again. They have more dogs and cats coming into the shelter than you can imagine, many being turned in by owners who are just tired of caring for them or a host of other ridiculous reasons. Many are seniors who have been loyal for years and then get dumped like garbage when they start to have health problems. Even with all of the work that the volunteers and officers do, more don't make it out than do. Consider making a difference for one of these wonderful pets, and talk with the staff and volunteers. They are a great resource. read more

This was my first time being at an animal shelter and I previously bought my pets from a pet store. Those pets consisted of a cat or a hamster. So you can imagine my anxiousness about going in and potentially taking home a new family member with me. I will say, this animal shelter is well kept and from what I have been told by others this animal shelter is pretty decent compared to the ones in other counties. The smell is pungent inside, but what do you expect? The staff is very courteous and helpful. I called before arriving to verify adoption times and luckily they were still open at 3pm on Sunday. Once we got there we headed to the puppy room, and I just wanted to adopt all of them! It's really sad knowing that those dogs don't have a home but very exciting to know that they have a chance. I spotted my dog instantly and fell in love. we took him to the puppy bonding room where we were able to play and hold him to see if he was the right fit. He was, and we spoke with a nice young volunteer who told us more than likely we could take him home that day because the puppy was already neutered. The volunteer handed us a slip to take to the reception desk and we filled out some paperwork. They microchipped him while we waited for a few minutes. The fee was $115. They gave us basic instructions for him to return to get the rest of his shots and recommended he saw a vet within a week. I was only going in to look and see what I might want and ended up coming home with a lovely life long addition to my life. Our visit literally took less than 30minutes - to find my pet, bond with him in the bonding room, and fill out the paperwork to take him home. I am so happy and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

One of the Gold-Standard examples of the best level of animal care, treatment, rehabilitation and adoptions found anywhere in the nation. Any municipality truly interested in creating a really great Animal Control and Animal Shelter would do well if they could model their system after Cobb County's. They try to keep animals as long as possible even months before euthanasia. They also have a strong network of volunteers from communities in Cobb County. People actually volunteer, some daily - not just to walk the dogs and do the more fun aspects of volunteering - but also many people volunteer to do the more "dirty" aspects of animal care in a shelter. They actually have volunteers who come on a regular basis to do things such as clean out the cages. You can't get much more dedicated than that! read more

This place is the best everyone that works there is so helpful and friendly. This couple tried to steal my dog. And then they were going to dump him at the shelter. Not only did the shelter refuse to take my dog from them but they helped me get them back. I'm forever grateful for everyone that helped me. I also saw many people going in and adopting dogs. Thank you for everything you do! read more

I couldn't be more happy with the work that they do here. I just adopted a sweet Siamese kitten they named Elf and for only $115 you get your new pet fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. When I first saw this cat, he was not eligible for adoption yet but one of the people who worked there was nice enough to tell me about the waitlist. The staff is very nice and the woman that helped me with my adoption process kept referring to the animals as "your new babies." So sweet. Overall I've had a great experience at this facility. Thank you guys! read more

You want to know what's heartbreaking? When a shelter sends a family home with a sick puppy, admits that the puppy contracted the illness while at the shelter, and offers to refund the adoption fee if the animal is brought back to be euthanized but not if the family opts to give them a fighting chance. Our adoption fee would not even fully cover the first of many vet visits that we will make in the hopes of helping our new family member recover from parvovirus but rather than give us that back to help with treatment, Cobb County Animal Control would rather refund us only if they put more money into killing our sweet girl. Our dog was not diagnosed until one day past the five day deadline to receive a refund, as she was spayed on the day she was sent home and came home with hookworms, so the veterinarian would not have known whether symptoms such as lethargy and diarrhea were indicative of parvovirus or her other ailments at her first appointment. I could understand the shelter not offering a refund, as we signed a contract accepting our puppy as is. The fact is, however, that they did admit their wrong and offer a refund if we allow them to kill our dog. If a shelter can afford to offer a refund to families that euthanize sick dogs, they should be willing to offer the same refund to families that go above and beyond to provide treatment for their furry friends. I am beyond disappointed. read more

I went to the shelter to adopt a dog come to find out she had kennel cough that turned into pneumonia I spent over 500 dollars on her and I only had he for one week but when u get a dog from a shelter u have to beware I kept the dog she's on antibiotics and is doing fine she such a sweet little dog and my son and sisters love her. read more

Mega thanks and appreciation to all who helped my dog get home safely today. The police directed me to this Shelter when I came home to find my dog had broken outside. They had him..! They double checked that i was the correct owner to release to; they gave him a de-wormer, and my dog's nails have def been clipped. Really helpful people. Even was given advice. read more

I'm sure this place does the best it can with the resources given but the conditions in which the cats stay in is not good. I know it's very common for shelters but almost all of the cats here have upper respiratory infections and have to stay in really small cages. Sometimes the cats are let out into the play room but most of their time is spent inside of their cages right next to their litter box and food (I even saw some cats just sitting in their dirty litter box). I got two kittens from the shelter and when I got them home they were both sneezing and one of them refused to eat, had fleas, a tapeworm, and developed ulcers on his tongue and nose due to what my vet said was the Calicivirus. After giving them both antibiotics, flea medication, and some TLC they are now both healthy and happy. I give this place 4 stars because despite not being the cleanest place they are still giving these animals, who may have been previously abandoned or abused but still have the capacity to love, a chance for adoption. read more

I couldn't say enough nice things about this place! I called for a week straight to make sure the dog I wanted to adopt was still there. The staff was so nice and understanding.

This place gets a bad rep, but the truth of the matter is a lot of people are irresponsible pet owners and they are overwhelmed with animals. This place is very clean and they do their best to provide the animals with everything they need. All the animals in here deserve a good home. read more

Most of the staff here are friendly and helpful. I adopted my 1st pet-- an adult cat--from here in 2015. The employees and volunteers were most helpful in answering the several questions I had about my new cat. I know the shelter runs low on resources such as cat litter, at times. They house a lot of animals here (cats, dogs). I'd rather the animals be here than in the hands of someone who isn't treating them well. As a previous reviewer mentioned, I believe this shelter does the best with the resources they are given. There may just not be enough to go around, especially considering the volume of animals they care for. They do treat them for infections they may have, spay/neuter, vaccinate, and microchip them while there. read more

Please stop saying this place is great, it is not. I've had my dog 1 week and a day. Within 24 hours he was at the emergency vet (it was a Sunday). Sneezing, runny nose, lethargic, not eating. I spent $104 at vet and $44 on antibiotics. To day (1 day after a week) I'm seeing roundworms in his poop. Never noticed it because it's always dark out in the AM when I take him out. When I called about his illness the first time, all they offered was for me to bring him back. Why, so they can kill him, because they won't treat him. Now round worms. I got him free because i'm a vet, but i'm spending out so much money that I shouldn't have to spend. We can't even really enjoy and embrace him, because he's been sick since we got him. This place SUCKS!!!!! On top of that, I found out that there are no "SPECIAL" equipment required to neuter a senior dog. I thought that sounded odd so I spoke with a reputable vet today. Nope! No special instruments required. I even looked up the procedure on youtube, all that's used is a scapel. So they make you sign this contract when they're seniors because they say they don't have the equipment and agree to pay a fine of $1,000 if the dog isn't neutered. So they're hustling money from adoptors and banking on you not knowing the actual process of neutering. LIES! They just don't want the responsibility of having to do it and I will get this contract null and void. I'm going to find out who I can file a complaint with and i'm going to do something about the lies being told at this shelter just to get rid of the dogs. They aren't treating the dogs here and are adopting them out sick. I have no idea why they even have a Vet at this shelter. He/She does nothing! read more

BEWARE!! Me and my boyfriend got an adorable 2 month year old lab mix from here. The conditions are horrible..just disguting. We took him home and was enjoying his company..needless to say he was sick when we got him..he had coccedia and hookworms..we are at the vet right now because he has now pooped out his intestine..there's a possibility that we will have to put him down. If you go here and get an animal take them to the vet ASAP!! I'm just disgusted that he was in this condition when we got him..they testied for parvo twice so I know they thought something was wrong but didn't investigate further. We are up to 1800 dollars in vet bills. So be careful if you go there read more

After several weeks of coming to the shelter looking for a 2nd dog for our family , we adopted a wonderful corgie mix. During each visit to the shelter,we found the facility to be clean and the care good.As with any business, we found some staff more helpful and knowlegeable but everyone was professional and showed genuine kindness toward their charges. The actual adoption process was straight forward and the adoption fee was reasonable. Overall a great experience. read more

Yesterday me and my roommate went to Cobb County Animal Services to look for a dog to adopt. We ended finding the sweetest 2 year old Plott Hound. We went through with adopting her but could not bring her home until the next day because she needed to be spayed. This morning I got a call from them saying that she was too underweight to go into surgery so I could go ahead and pick her up as soon as they opened and just bring her back in 2 to 3 weeks when she gained weight. We picked her up from the shelter and was told by a supervisor that she had a "tiny" nose bleed from "stress" and that they had their vet check her out and gave her medicine and she was perfectly fine. I live about 30 minutes from the shelter and as soon as I got home I walked her before I took her inside and as I'm walking her blood started profusely coming out of both sides of her nose and it was so much to the point where she was having trouble breathing. I immediately jumped into the car and rushed her to the emergency vet. She could barely move as I was sitting in the backseat with her but she managed to drag herself onto my lap which absolutely tore me apart. She was going in and out of consciousness and I had to continuously talk to her to keep her awake. I walked inside the emergency hospital with the dog and as soon as I got to the front desk she collapsed on the floor and could not get back up. A vet ran out and grabbed her and rushed her into a medical room. The car me and my roommate drove her in, the lobby of this vet hospital and myself was covered in blood. The vet came out and was absolutely furious to hear that we hadn't even adopted the dog an hour ago from this place and this was the condition she was in. She then told us that she was extremely sick and her vet bills would be extremely extremely expensive. I contacted Cobb County Animal Services and spoke to the supervisor who initially spoke to me about the nose bleed and informed him of the situation and how incredibly upset I was. He proceeded to tell me she had a "minor" nose bleed but was fine THEN said "she was bleeding profusely". So which one was it? Clearly I was being lied to. I then told him the vet found a lump on her and she believed it was a tumor and he proceeded to say "oh yeah I noticed that this morning and told our vet to check it out but they didn't say anything to me about it." Are you kidding me? I will NEVER adopt from this facility again. I am BEYOND disgusted with how this dog was treated. read more

When we visited CCAC we had already been to visit several other adoption places. (Animal controls) I had previously been her about 6 years ago and didn't leave with an animal at that time. We brought along our 6 year old Pit Bull for a meet and greet incase we found a new forever fur child. Once we did some searching, we picked out a female Pit Bull. We introduced her to our children and us in one of the bonding rooms. Once things were well we ask to bring in our man from the car. The staff was very helpful and we brought him in and with the help of an officer introduced them. Things were great and the officer had so much patience with him and her as they played and got to know one another. She had been spayed upon arrival at the clinic and had also recently birthed puppies. They were very through with the vet exams and once we decided to adopt our precious Maggie the printed off all the office notes as well as the spay and xray paper work so that when we took her to the vet, they would be caught up with the procedures that had ben done. The staff was amazing and kind. We would come here again an recommend everyone do the same. (We introduced our man to a male dog as well and with the help of a few officers decided the best fit for our family was Maggie. The did not pressure us at all. ) I would strongly recommend that if you are adding a new family member that you should bring along your current pet for a meet and greet to keep from having the heart break of returning your new pet. read more
