 The Coosa County Animal Shelter shutdowns as of March 2023. The shelter had its grand opening at the end of January.

Coosa County Animal Shelter director Dennis Hill publicly announced the closing of the shelter through a letter to the editor in the Feb. 22 Outlook, and just three weeks later, it officially closed.

“It needs to be understood this closure is in no way a reflection on any volunteer, staffer or director associated with the shelter,” Hill’s letter states. “This closure is solely a failure on my part and mine alone. We all worked hard to make this work due to our love for these animals and love for Coosa County.”
