Doggie U

The Cherokee County Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers to help with an innovative program to train shelter dogs so that they will be better candidates for adoption.

Volunteers will act as instructors for Doggie U Volunteers and will need to commit at least two Saturdays per month that they can work at the shelter for an hour or two to train dogs. No experience in dog training is required.

For more information, or to volunteer, contact Bob and Beth O'Brien at 678-445-4544 or go to www.doggieu.org.

Who We Are

We are volunteers for the Cherokee County Humane Society and for the Cobb County Animal Shelter.

To volunteer with the Cherokee County Humane Society call (770) 592-8072 or visit www.cchumanesociety.org www.cchumanesociety.org.

To volunteer for Dog Spa at the Cobb County Animal Shelter, please E-mail jric4415@yahoo.com. We meet on Mondays and Fridays from about 10:00 to 12:30 to bathe dogs and to take pictures for their PetFinder site http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA137.html.

Some of the animals listed are currently in foster care. Please use the contact information given for each foster animal if you are interested in meeting them.

FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED

Do you have the time and space to provide temporary homes for animals until permanent loving homes are found? If so, you are needed to help care for kittens, puppies, dogs and cats. These include healthy, sick or injured animals; as well as those that would otherwise be euthanized at the shelter due to limited capacity.

Foster parents become familiar with the unique personality of their foster animal, and can provide information that can be valuable in placing the foster in their perfect 'forever home'. What could be more rewarding than to help create a “happy ever after” ending?

Foster homes need only provide food, shelter and love. All vetting is provided by the Cherokee County Humane Society. It's best if you live in Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Gilmer, etc. but we will work with you if you will work with us!

Please email Caroline at wittle13@yahoo.com if you are interested in becoming a foster home.
