This is Schaffer found off Old Oak Valley Mill.
If you are the owner, please bring proof of ownership and a Rabies certificate to reclaim.
The stray hold, at the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter, is 5 days, which allows owners a fair amount of time to come looking for their pets. On the sixth day, the animal becomes the property of the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter and is offered for adoption. An animal may be pre-adopted; however, if the owner comes forward, within the 5-day stray hold, the animal goes back to the owner. The adoption fee is refunded at that time.

Adoption process:
● Fill out an application
● Fill out a contract
● Pay the adoption fee
*Stray animals may be pre-adopted before the stray hold is up. However, if an owner comes forward before the animal is picked up by the adopter, the pet would be returned to the original owner and the adoption fee would be returned to the adopter.
Unfortunately, we are not able to hold animals without the adoption process being completed. That includes the payment of the adoption fee. Adoptions are done on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applications can be emailed and payment can be made via phone and at WWW.PayPal.me/TSCHS. Otherwise, we cannot hold animals.
