Dog Adoptions/Surrenders
CHS does not have a Shelter. All our puppies/dogs are in foster homes to maximize adoptability and compatibility.
Dog adoptions are held most Saturdays on-site at the Woodstock PetSmart, 142 Woodstock Square Ave., Woodstock, GA 30189 from 11 AM to 4 PM. We are inside, in the back of the PetSmart store.
If you see a dog online that would be wonderful in your home, then please fill out an adoption application.
All of our “adoptable” dogs are kept in foster homes. We do not have a shelter. However, if you are willing to work with Cherokee Humane Society and be a foster for your own dog, we will assist you in placement. It is helpful, if your dog is current on its vaccinations and is already spayed/neutered. If not, then we will work with you in this effort.
If you want to surrender a dog immediately, then please call your local animal shelter. Almost every county has its own shelter.
Where Our Dogs Come From
In association with Cherokee Humane Society and through a network of amazing volunteers, we rescue dogs (adults and puppies) from county animal control facilities throughout the state of Georgia.
Once the animals are in our care, we provide veterinary care, spay and neuter procedures, vaccinations, and loving foster homes.
It’s a tremendous undertaking and we can’t do it alone. Currently, thousands of dogs are euthanized each year throughout the state of Georgia because of neglect, abandonment, and overpopulation.
