Data shows Augusta has highest animal euthanizations in state
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Commissioners turned down a plan from Best Friends Animal Society on Tuesday, which would have provided animal services with a veterinarian.
The decision came after the interim administrator told commissioners she didn’t recommend accepting the offer because it came with stipulations.
“The main reason is that it was presented as all or nothing which would require Augusta to participate in every one of the services, they’re promoting one of which is staff embedded program which simply means Best Friends would have representatives,” said Interim Administrator Takiyah Douse.
Data published on the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s website shows Augusta euthanized more dogs in April than any other shelter in the state.
The data also shows Augusta Animal Services constantly ranks the highest in the state in euthanizations.
