Help feed our furry friends in Oklahoma
|
In response to the recent tornado, the Gwinnett County Police Animal and Welfare Enforcement Unit is hosting a pet food and supply drive for the city of Moore, Oklahoma Animal Shelter. The doors of the Moore Animal Shelter have been flooded with displaced animals since the storm. While staff is working to find the owners, they need assistance with feeding the increase of animals at the shelter. During this time of rebuilding, many pet owners have lost everything and are finding themselves in a situation where they cannot feed their pets.
Please consider making a food or supply donation to help our friends in Moore, Oklahoma. Drop off your pet food and supply donations Friday, May 24 to Tuesday, May 28 from 8:00am to 4:00pm at the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville. This is a holiday weekend; however, Gwinnett County Animal Welfare employees will be available to accept donations. If you have questions, please call the shelter at 770.339.3200.

How can I help protect myself and my family from rabies? - Make sure your pets get their rabies shots regularly
- Keep your pets on your property
- Do not leave garbage or pet food outside. Food left out may attract wild or stray animals
- Stay away from wild, sick, hurt, or dead animals. Do not pick up or move sick or hurt animals. If you find a wild, sick, or hurt animal, call Gwinnett County Police Animal Welfare and Enforcement at 770.513.5100
- Do not keep wild animals like raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes as pets. It is dangerous and also illegal
- Teach your children not to go near, tease, or play with wild animals or strange dogs and cats
