Haralson County Animal Control — Local services in Bremen

I have called several times since moving to the county a few years ago. The woman who "helped" me when I called told me that a stray I found was mine now because I took him out of the road and rain to safety before I called. She said I should have left him there and called them immediately. It made no sense. She agreed that it was an odd policy, but that's just how it is. Then I had to call them back about a group of clearly stray dogs and she said they couldn't do anything about it because she didnt know whether they belonged to someone. I asked isn't that the point of animal control- to assess the situation and possibly take the loose/possibly stray dogs and hold them safely to allow the owner to claim them? Then I had to call a third time knowing she wouldn't help me, but I had to try. I was trying to report a possibly stray dog but told her I didn't pick it up this time because last time she told me the dog was mine when I picked it up and took possession and she claimed she never said that. I was livid. I kept the dog I found and got him to a foster rescue and am grateful he never had to go to that shelter. I have never in my life left a negative review about anyone or anything, but my experience with their service has been horrible. I just hope they treat the animals better than they...

I adopted a dog from here last year. He escaped and got hit by a car the day after...I tried repeatedly to get in Touch with them to tell them. Never answered. Then next thing I know, a friend of mine who works in the courthouse tells me that i have a court date that day (never received a paper or anything in the mail) if I wasn't told that day I would've spent jail time over a dog who died...I finally got in touch with them and she said "if you didn't get anything in the mail how did you know you had a court date today? " I told her someone had told me that worked at the courthouse and she rolled her eyes and made me sign a paper stating that the dog had died. I Will NEVER adopt from...

Utterly pathetic. Apparently anyone can write a fraudulent ticket. Said they called me several times to tell me I was behind on getting my rescue sterilized and vaccinated. This is not true. I never received a call or a single piece of mail. Just a court summons. Also what the stupid thing really was is that he had heart worms which delayed the time frame on when he could have gotten neutered and he was given his rabies shot less than two weeks after adopting him. That part was on Burma animal clinic because they sent the paperwork to the wrong place. But still I never received a call and they also need to make it very clear who and who isn't a "sworn" animal...
