Cherokee County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At the Cherokee County Animal Shelter, our staff is dedicated to providing superior service to both the animals and the citizens of our community. We strive to protect our pets through compassionate care, education, and outreach programs that bring our residents closer together.
Our Core Values
Our work is guided by three core pillars: Compassion, Education, and Community. We treat every animal with the Five Freedoms while ensuring our citizens receive respectful, dedicated support in every interaction.
How We Care for Animals
Operating as an open-admission shelter, we provide a safe harbor for homeless and unwanted pets in Cherokee County. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that every animal in our care receives essential medical attention and the comfort they deserve while awaiting their forever homes. We are committed to fostering a environment where pets can thrive until they are ready to transition into a loving family.
Your New Best Friend
When you choose to adopt from us, you gain a companion who has already received a comprehensive head start on health. All of our adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines. Additionally, we provide each pet with one month of preventative care to ensure they transition smoothly into their new life with you.
Join Our Community
We invite you to experience the joy of finding your new pet at our facility located on Univeter Road in Canton. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or simply want to learn more about our outreach programs, we would love to connect with you. Please visit us during our open hours to meet our wonderful residents and help us continue our mission of providing second chances for every animal in need.
