Adoptable Georgia Dogs for July 26, 2013

The Cherokee County Animal Shelter is offering free adoptions through August 3d.

Cherokee Animal Shelter Director Sue Garcia said Thursday that the shelter began its free pet adoption campaign Wednesday and has had such good results that the promotion may be extended.

Garcia said the free adoptions were made possible by the shelter’s “$23.53 Save a Life Campaign,” in which pet lovers who are unable to adopt have been encouraged to give donations to fund free adoptions.

“We get a lot of people that want to help, but say they can’t adopt,” she said of the campaign. “This is a way for them to help save a life without taking another (animal) into their home.”

The “$23.53 Save a Life Campaign” began in March and has caused a considerable uptick in the amount of pets who’ve been adopted, Garcia said.

“Friday and Saturday alone we had 75 adoptions,” Garcia said, adding that the number comes in more than three times the amount of animals the shelter normally sends on their way to new homes on Fridays and Saturdays.
