COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
Our goal is to educate the community on the importance of companion animals to stop the cycle of animal neglect and abuse. Here's a look at today's pets in urgent need of rescue.
TAG 378 is a Domestic Short Hair female. She's curious and playful with a spirited personality. She can't wait to become part of your family.
TAG 365 is also a female Domestic Short Hair. She's calm and loving, waiting for you to pick her up and spoil her with love and treats.
TAG 239 is a 9-week-old female Bulldog. She is laidback with a very sweet demeanor. She's sure to be a loyal and loving best friend.
Tag 102 is a female Labrador-mix. She's about a year old with a bouncy personality. She loves to play and would be a great jogging buddy.
All of the animals the animals we've shown – as well as the ones still in their cages – will be put to death unless the community takes action and provides them with forever homes. For information on the available animals, visit http://www.columbusga.org/publicservices2/Animal_Control/.
