Dawsonville council brings animal control in-house
Placeholder Image
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.
