  • Program 1 [2020]

    IN 2020, THE ORGANIZATION REMAINED FOCUSED ON ITS FIVE PRIMARY GOALS: SAAVE - SAVE, ALTER, ADOPT, VACCINATE AND EDUCATE. WE RESCUED AND ADOPTED IN EXCESS OF 1,200 ANIMALS IN 2020. THESE ANIMALS WERE RESCUED PRIMARILY FROM NORTH GEORGIA SHELTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ABANDONED OR TURNED IN THEIR PETS. ACHIEVING 1,207 DOCUMENTED ADOPTIONS HAS BEEN A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC AS WE LOST MANY FOSTER HOMES, VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS. OUR ADOPTION PARTNERS INCLUDING PETSMART AND PETCO ENACTED MANY RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING NOT ALLOWING ON SITE ADOPTIONS FOR MONTHS. HOWEVER, WE PRESERVED BY UTILIZING ONLINE APPLICATIONS AND ADOPTIONS WHICH PRESENTED UNIQUE CHALLENGES. ALL OF THE 1,207 ACTUALLY ADOPTED ANIMALS, PLUS, APPROXIMATELY 100 ANIMALS IN "FOR ADOPTION INVENTORY," WERE ALL EXAMINED BY A VETERINARY SURGEON, GIVEN APPROPRIATE VACCINATIONS AND TESTS THEN SPAYED/NEUTERED, FLEA TREATED AND MICRO CHIPPED. NO ANIMAL LEAVES CCHS WITHOUT MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND BEING SPAYED OR NEUTERED PLUS HEARTWORM TREATED, IF K9 TESTED POSITIVE. WE ALSO PROVIDED FOOD TO INDIGENT PET OWNERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED THEIR ANIMALS. OFTEN THESE ARE ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS WHOSE FAMILY IS THEIR PET. CCHS CONTINUES TO REGULARLY SUPPORT SPAY AND NEUTER CLINICS FOR LOCAL DOGS AND CATS WHICH ARE HELD BOTH AT MOBILE UNITS AT THE THRIFT STORE LOCATED AT 5900 BELLS FERRY RD IN ACWORTH; AND THROUGH SUPPORT OF THE GEORGIA ANIMAL PROJECT (GAP) WHICH HAS ITS OWN SPAY/NEUTER SURGICAL FACILITY IN BALL GROUND, CHEROKEE COUNTY. IN 2020, CCHS HELPED OR PAID FOR SPAY/NEUTER ABOUT 100 LOCAL PETS - THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THOSE 1,200 ANIMALS SPAYED AND NEUTERED PRIOR TO ADOPTION. WE CONTINUE TO SPONSOR LOW-COST SHOT/VACCINATION CLINICS AND TYPICALLY HAVE 2 CATSNIP CLINICS A MONTH AT THE THRIFT STORE. RABIES SHOTS ARE A REQUIREMENT IN GEORGIA. DISEASES LIKE PARVO, DISTEMPER, FELINE LEUKEMIA AND FELINE HIV ARE OFTEN FATAL. FINALLY, WE HELP TO EDUCATE SCHOOL CHILDREN AND COMMUNITIES BY SPEAKING AT VARIOUS GRADE, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS. HOWEVER, COVID HAS SEVERLY IMPACTED THIS PROGRAM ALSO OUR APPROVED CS PET ADOPTIONS PROGRAM FOR JUVENILE MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES. IN ADDITION, THROUGH OUR PROGRAM SERVICES, WE HELP INDIGENT PET OWNERS PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION TO ANIMALS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT RECEIVE CARE.

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.
