New procedures and application regarding RESCUES by Rescue Groups
Floyd County Animal Control is in the process of adopting new procedures regarding the rescue of animals by outside groups. On this site, you will find an application and an authorized agents list that must be filled out before any rescue can take place. This form must be filled out by groups that have rescued animals from FCAC previously as well.
To rescue an animal you will need to provide the following information:
Approved Application
A copy of each rescue group’s state issued shelter license
An authorized agents list (a list of every individual from your group that will pick up any animals.)
This information is requested from you before your group will be able to rescue from Floyd County Animal Control. Please note that if this information is not forwarded to this department, no rescues by your group can take place. Please note that these new procedures have been put in place to protect the integrity of this department and your rescue group. While we realize the importance of animal rescues, we want to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals being rescued as well.
Once you have completed your application, please mail it or fax it to 706.233.0032:

Who We Are
Floyd County Animal Control Mission Statement. Our mission is to promote animal welfare through education, stressing owner responsibility. With the cooperation of local rescue agencies, we will endeavor to adopt all animals to good homes while keeping with State Law, which requires rabies vaccinations and spay/neuter. As public servants we will strive to equitably enforce and educate the citizens of Rome and Floyd County as to the regulations relating to domestic animal care and treatment.

Adopting a friend
All animals available for adoption from the Floyd County Animal Control are required to be spayed or neutered as well as vaccinated for rabies per Georgia State law at the adopter's expense which is not included in the adoption fee of $25.00. While we strive to adopt all animals to good homes, they only have a limited amount of time to be held at the facility. Please feel free to call our office at 706.236.4537 and inquire about any of these animals in need of a forever home.

Thoughts of an Animal Control Officer
I am your Animal Control Officer. I am not the dreaded "dog catcher" or the "murderer" you call me. I'm not the one who allows your pets to breed, then dumps the unwanted puppies and kittens on roadsides and in shelters. I'm the one who must find the tiny animals before they die of starvation, exposure or disease and, as an act of mercy, exterminate them. It hurts me to be forced to kill hundreds of thousands of animals each year, but because of your irresponsibility, I have no choice.
I'm not the one who abandons unwanted animals on the farm roads, telling myself some friendly farmer will surely take them in and give them a good home. But I am the one who picks up the frightened animal who waits in vain for its beloved master, wondering why it has been abandoned. I am the one who must help that friendly farmer trap, tranquilize or kill that animal because it has begun to roam in packs with other abandoned hungry animals, killing livestock, fowl and game.I am not the one who breeds and fights dogs in the name
of "sport." But I'm the one who fights the breeders and participants, and must pick up the dead and dying animals that have been left behind.
So, remember the next time a stray dog bites your
child, your trash is dumped and scattered, your pet is
lost, stolen, poisoned or hit by a car, and it is the
Animal Control Officer you call not the "dog catcher." The next time your pet is picked up, or you are cited for neglecting or abusing it, remember that I am only trying to get you to fulfill your responsibility to your pet, your neighbor and yourself.
Do not scorn me. Respect me, for I am the product of your irresponsibility. I love animals, and I care. PRINTED BY THE NATIONAL ANIMAL CONTROL ASSOCIATION
