Need a buddy for the day? 🐾 Hopper says come on by!

Our Doggy Day Out program gives shelter dogs a much-needed break from the kennel while helping them get seen by potential adopters out in the community. Whether it’s a walk downtown, a pup cup run, or simply spending quality time together, your outing gives a shelter dog enrichment, exposure, and a break from kennel life. 🧡

No appointment needed! Stop by daily from 1–6 PM and our staff will help match you with a dog for the day.

✔️ It’s FREE
✔️ We provide supplies
✔️ You help a shelter dog shine

⚠️Level 1 Drought Declared in Georgia⚠️

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has issued a statewide Level 1 Drought Response following continued below-average rainfall, reduced streamflows, and declining groundwater and reservoir levels.

Although this is the initial phase of drought response, it serves as an important signal to begin conserving water now.

💧Under Level 1 guidelines, outdoor watering is still allowed between 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM and is not affected under Level 1 restrictions.

Please help to conserve water. You can make a difference by:
➡Checking for and repairing any water leaks promptly
➡Turning off water taps when not in use
➡Watering landscapes only when necessary

For additional water saving information, please visit https://www.epa.gov/watersense/start-saving

Thomasville Fire Rescue and Thomas County Fire Rescue remind the community that a Burn Ban is in effect for the City of Thomasville and Thomas County.

Please help keep our community safe by complying with local Bans. Non-compliance within city limits will result in a citation.

During a severe drought, everyday activities can inadvertently spark a wildfire. Please follow the below outdoor safety measures and precautions to help protect our community:

➡Vehicle Usage: Never drive, idle, or park a recently driven vehicle on dry grass. Exhaust systems can reach over 1,000 degrees, while dry vegetation can ignite at 500 degrees.
➡Towing Safety: Ensure trailer chains are secure and not dragging. A single spark from metal-on-pavement contact can ignite roadside brush.
➡Equipment Maintenance: Ensure all portable gasoline-powered equipment used in wildland areas has a properly working spark arrester.
➡Lawn Care: Mow before 10 a.m. and avoid mowing in extremely dry vegetation. Regularly clear dry grass clippings that collect around the mower's engine.
➡Smoking Materials: Never discard ci******es or matches out of car windows. Douse cigarette butts with water before disposing of them in sturdy, non-tip ashtrays.
➡Charcoal Grill Coals: Do not dispose of charcoal grill coals on grass, dirt, brush, or vegetation. Wait at least 48 hours before discarding into a metal or aluminum bin.
➡Large Land Owners: please contact Georgia Forestry at (877) 652-2876 for guidance and permitting.

This parade will be different than the Christmas parade.
Because it takes place on a Friday night, we will need to
be able to do a faster cleanup.

We will not have tables, only chairs. You will be able to place them as you like with your friends.

No worries about drinks, we will use our to-go cups to allow for easy sipping outside.

Must be 21 years old!
