The Scoop: The petition is nearing 30,000 signatures and the media is beginning to take notice! The shelter was featured on last night's Channel 2 Action News report. The report highlighted volunteer's concerns and the structural issues that plague the shelter. WBS Radio and the AJC have also picked up the story. 

What's Next? We need to continue to call and put pressure on the county to allocate budget towards a new facility. If you are Fulton County resident, please take a moment to call your district representative and voice your support for a NEW Fulton County shelter.

You can find your Fulton County district representative and their contact information here.

Here is a script you can use when you call your rep: 

"Hello, I’m a registered voter in your district and a concerned citizen. The current facility was built to hold 80 animals, but now holds 400. It's an outdated facility does not provide a healthy environment for shelters staff, volunteers, or our animals. We are in urgent need of a NEW facility. Please let my district commissioner know that I want a NEW larger structure included in the 2019 budget. Thank you for relaying my message."

Thank you for your time and support! Your signature and involvement are making a huge difference for the Fulton County animals.
