Oconee County Animal Control
Animal Adoption Fees: The fee for dogs or cats is $100. The price includes sterilization, Rabies vaccination, micro-chipping and a light veterinary exam. All animals are sterilized prior to release for adoption and can be picked up from the veterinarian. Oconee County Animal Control does not guarantee the health of an adopted animal. If problems are evident, the shelter will disclose the information to the adopter.
Adoption Contact: If you are interested in adopting any of our pets, please call the shelter's Adoption and Rescue Coordinator Crystal Berisko at (706) 769-3956 or e-mail: cberisko@oconee.ga.us.
