National Pet Day: These Animals Found In Cobb Need Forever Homes

SOUTH COBB, GA -- If you're an animal lover, you can't help but feel for the scores of lost pets and strays that sit in area adoption centers. Your local animal control or humane society is the perfect place to find an animal for your family.

While we can be cognizant of animals in need every day, Tuesday marks National Pet Day, so we thought we'd share some cute furry friends in need of forever homes.

As many as 6.5 million pets enter animal shelters nationwide every year, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Those numbers are split even among dogs and cats, the group says.

Here are some animals in the Cobb and Paulding counties that have gone missing in recent days:

Have you seen Boomer?

Baby found in Smyrna. No chip

Diamond, anyone?

Mercedes got out and is now missing

Yorkie found in Villa Rica area

These babies were stolen!

$100 reward to find Shadow

Many of these animals are highlighted on the Lost and Found Pets of Paulding and Cobb Facebook page. Please peruse it when you get a sec. Also check out the Facebook page, Lost/Found Pets Smyrna/Vinings/Metro Area GA.
