The unclaimed pets that Cobb Animal Control rounded up during September's destructive flooding will go up for adoption Tuesday.

Animal Control took in 70 animals after the Sept. 21 flood, and most owners have come forward to reclaim their pets. But the 10 that remain in the county's shelter - eight dogs and two cats - will be available for adoption beginning Nov. 3, said Nathan McCreary, spokesman for Cobb Animal Control.

"We are encouraged by the results so far, and we appreciate the community's assistance in getting the word out about the recovered animals," McCreary said. "On Nov. 3, those unclaimed animals will be given an opportunity to be adopted into new homes. The Animal Control unit will continue to aggressively look for good homes for all of the animals that are cared for in the kennel."

Tom Flynn, field operation manager for Cobb County Animal Control, said there are no plans to euthanize the animals.

"Why would I put my life at risk, and my crew's life at risk, to rescue animals just to bring them back and kill them?" he said.

Animal Control is waiving the $50 recovery fee for flood victims, McCreary said.

Pictures of the pets that were recovered during the flood are listed on the Cobb Animal Control's Web site at www.animalcontrol.cobbcountyga.gov.

Animal Control is also still housing pets for flood victims who don't have a home to bring them to. McCreary said about 56 dogs and cats are staying at the shelter, and officials are in contact with the families on a regular basis.

The Cobb County Animal Shelter is located at 1060 Al Bishop Drive in Marietta. For more information, call the shelter at (770) 499-4136.
