The Habersham County Board of Commissioners received notice on Friday, August 8th that the Friends of Habersham County Animal Shelter will not be renewing their contract with the County to manage the animal shelter in September.
"Over the past month, we have been discussing a 'reorganization' of our relationship with FOHCAS so that our citizens are well protected and our animals are well taken care of" Chairman Jim Butterworth said.
"there is an excitement between us, the County Staff and FOHCAS that this new direction will prove to benefit our community in a tremendous way. We plan to work with FOHCAS, and rescue groups around the area to ensure that our Shelter is not a 'high-kill' shelter and we provide the best possible service and education to our citizens, "Butterworth concluded.
