As a pet lover I suggest you do what is required to ensure the safety and well-being of the animal. As a landlord-tenant attorney, I suggest you contact the tenant in writing, refering to applicable sections of your lease, and remind them that they must keep the property in good condition. If the tenant doesn't respond properly, and they are in violation of the lease, you can then move forward with an eviction proceeding. I suggest you hire an attorney as soon as it appears that the tenant will not cooperate.

You should call the police or your local animal shelter for guidance. I did a Google search on Ocilla Georgia animal control and got several hits.

Good luck.
