Cherokee Humane Society

Animal rescue in Acworth, GA

The Cherokee Humane Society has been operating for over thirty years as a private non profit animal welfare organization.

We are proud to serve the people and animals of Cherokee County with a variety of programs including adoptions, low cost spay and neutering, low cost vaccinations, assistance with emergency medical care and humane education for people of all ages.

Through our outreach, advocacy and services, we strive to ensure that animal companionship is accessible to all.

We are not part of the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. They are a separate entity supported by your tax dollars. The Cherokee County Humane Society is private and receives no local, state or federal support. We thrive solely through our thrift store and your generous donations.
