Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

They list intakes on Petfinder.com. Don't know of effectiveness or follow-up.

Because Etowah and the animal control work hand in hand I have to mention that animal control does not allow visits or volunteers. Once they are over at Etowah they do, but do not champion.

Once again they are letting rescue groups do the heavy lifting and basically rest on their laurels and take credit.

Sick or feral... kill them. That's all I can say.

F-. If you have differing views than them, forget about conversation.

IF they make it out of animal control Etowah does offer adoption at a pretty hefty price.

Once again the rescue groups are doing all the heavy lifting as many of them have foster volunteers. They pay a price though to Etowah though to rescue and foster which is humanely wrong on their part.

The rescue groups are doing ALL of the heavy lifting here. It is a great way for them to profit and falsely claim no-kill.

They allow third party traveling clinics to come in and place a sign and phone number at their location, but in no way do they use any of their budget to assist.

Do not think they offer any of these programs. The closest they come is when they allow Project Catsnip to stage their mobile unit there.
Feral Cat TNR Program

I have worked with feral cats for some time. I am shocked that Bartow claims to have a TNR program. They were supposed to implement one, but never had. The director that runs the animal control right next door to Etowah will flat out tell you they don't and they don't honor a tipped ear. PLEASE note that Etowah takes no pets in. They have to be surrendered right next door at animal control. NO pet is allowed to adopted at animal control. Only certified pet rescues can get them out of animal control and even then they have to go next door to process and pay for them in this very crooked practice. And animal control does euthanize. Feral cats especially.
