Beau has been a faithful member of the Coweta County Prison
bloodhound team. He has led
the team on numerous searches for escaped prisoners and missing persons
over many years. Beau, 14 years old, headed Monday to a good home with plenty
of room to roam. There were a total of three applications received by the
Animal Control Department, two in Coweta and one in Marietta. It was the
desire of officials to keep Beau in Coweta if at all possible. Coweta County
Prison Warden Bill McKenzie talked with the Marietta applicant and the
two
Coweta sites were given a visual inspection to go along with the written
application. After looking at the three possibilities, Jackie Shelnutt,
who lives in western Coweta County, was chosen as the caregiver for Beau's
retirement years. Photo/Special.
