WE RESCUED, ADOPTED, ALTERED AND AIDED IN EXCESS OF 700 ANIMALS AND PET OWNERS IN 2023. THE ADOPTED ANIMALS WERE RESCUED PRIMARILY FROM NORTH GEORGIA ANIMAL SHELTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ABANDONED OR TURNED IN THEIR PETS. ACHIEVING IN ACCESS OF FIVE HUNDRED (500+) DOCUMENTED ADOPTIONS IS A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT. THE LEGACY OF THE PANDEMIC GREATLY IMPACTED ANIMAL RESCUE BECAUSE MANY FOSTER HOMES, VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS WERE LOST. OUR ADOPTION PARTNERS, PETSMART AND PETCO ENACTED MULTIPLE RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING NOT ALLOWING ON-SITE ADOPTIONS FOR MONTHS. HOWEVER, CCHS PERSEVERED BY UTILIZING ONLINE APPLICATIONS AND ADOPTIONS WHICH PRESENTED UNIQUE CHALLENGES. ALL OF THE 500+ ADOPTED ANIMAL AND THE APPROXIMATELY 85 ANIMALS IN "FOR ADOPTION INVENTORY," WERE EXAMINED BY A VETERINARY SURGEON, GIVEN APPROPRIATE VACCINATIONS AND TESTED FOR DISEASES. THEN, THEY WERE SPAYED/NEUTERED, FLEA TREATED AND MICROCHIPPED. NO ANIMAL LEAVES CCHS WITHOUT MEDICAL CLEARANCE, BEING SPAYED OR NEUTERED, AND HEARTWORM TESTED. IF A DOG TESTS POSITIVE, THEN IT IS TREATED. IN TANDEM WITH THE MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS, ALL "FOR ADOPTION ANIMALS" ARE QUARANTINED AT APPROVED FOSTER HOMES AS CCHS DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER. WE ALSO PROVIDED DOG/CAT FOOD TO INDIGENT PET OWNERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED THEIR PETS. CCHS PROVIDES BASIC FELINE AND K-9 SHOTS AT NO CHARGE. PLUS, WE OFFER DEWORMING LIQUID AS PARASITES ARE A FREQUENT PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THROUGH PROGRAM SERVICES, CCHS CONTINUES TO HELP INDIGENT PET OWNERS BY PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION TO ANIMALS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT RECEIVE CARE.
