Fulton County and the City of Atlanta have reinstated animal control services within Atlanta’s limits following a brief hiatus. The County Commission’s unanimous decision on Wednesday to approve an intergovernmental agreement with Atlanta ensures the immediate resumption of services.
Calls for Atlanta-related animal control services represent about 55% of animal control services in Fulton County. During the temporary suspension, the Fulton County Animal Services facility remained operational, accepting approximately 98 dogs from City of Atlanta residents.
