Lightning hit the Upson County Animal Shelter late last night (January 3) and started a fire in the kitchen area that spread into the office.
The cat room was filled with smoke but all the dogs and cats are reported to be unharmed. Hopefully, none of the animals will have any health problems from smoke inhalation or fire-related stress.
Due to fire and smoke damage, no animals will be accepted at the shelter until further notice.
The pets in the newspaper ad will be available for adoption. Scroll down to view these animals.
If you have any questions, call the shelter at 706-647-5586.
