A public information officer with Clayton County Animal Control contacted 11Alive News Tuesday afternoon and said that none of the animals on their "final notice" list would be euthanized on Tuesday.
They said the dogs listed on the so-called "Final Notice" list the agency posted to their Facebook page have been with the agency for an extended period of time, and are in desperate need of adoption. The dogs listed have been in the shelter's care for anywhere between 83 and 102 days.
Animal Control officials released a list of dogs online last week that said, "The following animals are in danger of being euthanized."
They pointed to several animals which had been on their "urgent list" more than once and said, "the situation should be considered dire."
When 11Alive News asked about the listing and the claim, the public information officer said our article was not accurate, insisting that no animals would be put down on Tuesday.
If you are interested in rescuing or adopting any of the dogs listed here, please call Clayton County Animal Control at 770-347-0210 or 770-477-3509.
