Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Prevention of animal cruelty.
Programs: The organization remained focused on its five primary goals: saave- save, alter, adopt, vaccinate and educate. We rescued and adopted in excess of 1340 animals in 2014 . They were rescued primarily from shelters and individuals who abandoned or turned in their pets. All of these 1340 adopted animals were examined by a veterinary surgeon, given appropriate vaccinations and tests then spayed/neutered, flea treated and micro chipped. No animal leaves cchs without medical clearance and especially being spayed or neutered. We also provided food to indigent pet owners who cannot afford to feed their animals. Often these are elderly individuals whose family is their pet. Cchs continues to regularly support spay and neuter clinics for dogs and cats which are held both at mobile units at the thrift store located at 5900 bells ferry rd in acworth; and through support of the georgia animal project (gap) which has its own spay/neuter surgical facility. We continue to sponsor low-cost shot/vaccination clinics. Typically we have 6 a month at the thrift store. Rabies shots are a requirement in georgia. In addition diseases like parvo, distemper, feline leukemia and feline hiv are often fatal. Finally, we help to educate school children and communities by speaking at various grade, middle and high school organizations plus the chamber of commerce, rotary, etc. As well as mentoring young volunteers about animal welfare.
