Cobb County Animal Control was established in 1971. As part of Cobb's Department of Public Safety, we serve all of Cobb County protecting the citizens and animals of Cobb County.

The mission of the Cobb County Animal Control Unit is to enforce the state laws and county ordinances pertaining to animal control and management; educate the community in responsible pet ownership and wildlife care; and provide for the housing and care of homeless animals and coordinate their adoption when possible and their humane euthanization when adoption is not possible.

Spay/Neuter - View Video
Spaying and neutering your pets has many benefits to your animal, your family and your community. Most importantly, spaying and neutering your pet makes them healthier and better companions. Spaying and neutering also helps control the pet population in the community, which equates to less stray animals and fewer pets in the animal control shelter. Please speak with your veterinarian about spaying and neutering your pet today.

The Cobb County Animal Control Unit is a great place to find that addition to your family. Adoption fees are $110 for all animals. All animals have been spayed/neutered and are current on all vaccinations. Dogs over 6 months old have been heartworm tested and cats over 6 months have been combo tested. Please visit our adoption page and Pet of the Week page to view animals available for adoption.

Summer Heat - View Video
Georgia’s summers can be brutally hot. That is why leaving a pet in the car unattended during the warm months is extremely dangerous and against the law.
