Please note that the Cherokee County Animal Shelter operates as a 'first come, first serve' facility. This means we do not put animals on hold and we do not have any kind of pre-adoption paperwork. There is no physical line for Saturday adoptions or adoption events. On these days,
CCAS utilizes a Virtual Line in which guests use their phone scan a QR code, fill out the required information on their phone, and wait for their turn in line. Please note that checking into the Virtual Line does not guarantee the pet that the party is interested in will be available, as our facility adopts on a 'first come, first serve' basis.

🐾100+ Days and still waiting for their forever homes!🐾

Every cat has a story, a unique personality, and so much love to give! These sweet kitties have each spent 110 days or more at the shelter, patiently waiting for someone to see them for who they truly are. They have watched so many other kitties find their new families and they just keep waiting for their forever home!

Each one has their own little quirks, their own way of showing affection, and their own special purrsonality!!

Some may be playful entertainers, some may be laidback cuddle bugs, and others may take a little time to show you just how wonderful they are, but they all have one thing in common: they deserve a loving home outside of the shelter. 110 days is far too long to wait for love; let’s help deserving kitties find their happily ever after!

In celebration of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Cherokee County Animal Shelter is opening our kennel doors and our hearts! From October 24 through the October 31st 2026, we are offering FREE adoptions for all cats and dogs. Behind every kennel door is a precious soul dreaming of a home, a family, a soft place to sleep and someone who will love them forever. They don’t ask for much just a chance, a little kindness, someone to choose them. With only one week left we’re asking you to please open your heart and home. Come meet them share their stories. Tell your friends. You might walk in looking for a pet and walk out with a piece of your heart you never knew was missing.

🍁🤣 FALL FOR A FURRY FRIEND — FREE ADOPTIONS! 🤣🍁
One Day Only — October 17, 2026
It’s officially fall, which means three things:
You’re pretending not to turn the heat on yet.
Every food item is now pumpkin‑flavored (even things that should never be pumpkin‑flavored).
It’s the perfect time to adopt a pet who won’t judge you for wearing the same cozy sweater five days in a row. 🍂🐶🐱
On October 17, Cherokee County Animal Shelter is offering FREE adoptions for all pets 6 months and older — just for one magical, leaf‑crunching day!
📍 Where to find us:
1015 Univeter Road, Canton, GA 30115
⏰ Hours:
10 AM – 5 PM
(After that, our pets turn into decorative gourds until the next morning.)

👉 Don’t leaf this post hanging!
Share it, tag a friend, or send it to someone whose fall vibes are missing a furry sidekick. Let’s rake in some forever homes!
Adopt. Laugh. Stay cozy. Repeat. 🍁❤️

Our animals can always count on our amazing community. Let’s celebrate Marlin’s birthday by bringing extra love and comfort to our shelter animals! Happy Birthday, Marlin! Thank you for making a difference and reminding us how much one person’s kindness can mean to the animals in our care.

Marlin, a 7-year-old poodle, works as a certified therapy dog at Woodstock Funeral Home in downtown Woodstock.
