After months and months of discussions, debate and failed attempts to reach agreements, Dawsonville's city council on Monday voted to take control of its own animal control issues. In a 4-0 vote following the second of two public hearings in which no one spoke in favor or against the proposal, the council approved a measure to bring animal control in-house. Previously, the city had a tenuous contract with Dawson County to take care of any stray or dangerous animals within its city limits at the cost of nearly $300 per animal picked up and taken to the local shelter.
