Grantville resident MaryLeigh Preston-McClure has volunteered to support the efforts of city employee Joe Jones and the Humane Society with regard to lost and stray animals in the city.
The city of Grantville does not have a long term shelter for stray animals, so it is important for you to contact the city immediately if you have a lost pet in the area. Check with City Hall (770-583-2289) to determine if the pet has already been picked up, and to provide your contact information should the pet be found later. (Please note that city ordinances establish fees and other provisions regarding the return of collected pets to owners.)
Joe and Maryleigh would love to see more of our local strays adopted here in town, rather than taken to Coweta County's animal control facility, where they will be euthanized if not claimed or adopted promptly. Maryleigh is also collecting blankets and other items that will make the city's holding pen more comfortable. If you are interested in adopting or generally helping care for strays and foundlings, contact Maryleigh.
Spaying your pet is the best way to help stem the tide of homeless pets. Call Spay Georgia for more information (770-662-4479)

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." (Teddy Roosevelt)
