Rude staff. Especially front desk lady. 3rd highest kill shelter. Don't waste your time here.

if i could give it 0 stars i would. To start off the front desk lady HAS to make everyone miserable. Secondly, they have a closet full of toys for the animals yet none of the dogs have toys in their cages… what a disappointment of a shelter. never will be returning.

The front desk lady has to be the one of the rudest people I have ever dealt with. I feel bad for anyone who comes into contact with her

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How do I get free dog food??

Kaitlin Davis | Oct 23, 2019
Maggie Labouisse | Oct 23, 2019

I was told that any resident of Cherokee County was allowed to get free food once a month. Why would you ask anyone who is entitled to it? Perhaps I’m missing the point, J. Proctor, but your response, I’m afraid, gets my back up. No offense meant.

a friend adopted a dog from the Cherokee County Animal Shelter in December. Was not informed that the dog was aggressive towards children and other dogs. They want to return the dog without being prevented from adopting in the future.

Anissa Shuman | Oct 23, 2019

Who do I report a barking dog to..This dog goes on for hours !!

mike longano | Oct 23, 2019
atl proctor | Oct 23, 2019

I am sorry to hear that. Have you talked w/the owner? They make anti-barking collars pretty cheaply and they're very humane to the pet. You can pick one up at Home Depot. Anyway to answer your question just call the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. Then follow the prompts from there. They are not open on Mondays. Good luck.

Can I bring my cat in ( adopted from Cherokee ) for nail trim if I pay a fee?

Eileen Reynolds | Oct 23, 2019
Cherokee County Animal Shelter | Oct 23, 2019

Eileen, We cannot give “vet treatments” to animals after they leave the shelter’s care. You would need to take your cat to a vet clinic or groomer for a nail trim.

ThiccLord69 | Oct 23, 2018
John Townsend | Oct 23, 2018

Free adoption weeks are randomly planned events usually. The best time to look is between now and the first of the year. They try to adopt out all of the animals and have free adoption events usually. The best thing to do is to call and speak to someone and ask for exact dates.
