Make a Donation to the Joey Fund

Donations to this fund helps provide medical care beyond what we can offer at the shelter. Animals with serious and often life threatening conditions that require diagnostic tests, special treatments, blood work, X-rays and surgeries to repair broken bones have all been paid for with funds donated to the Joey Fund.



• You shop through AmazonSmile, and Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice: listed as Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter

Stray from the Country Store on Prather Bridge
Calling him Buddy.
Microchipped, but the company sold to another company and number is not correct 😕.

The stray hold, at the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter, is 5 days. That 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.
TSCHS Adoption Procedure
Adoption Fees: Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, current (age-appropriate) vaccinations, and a
microchip.
Hours of Operation:
● Tues.-Saturday, 11-6
Pricing:
● Dogs $100 - Puppies $150
● Senior dogs $60
● Cats $75 - Kittens $100
● Senior Cats $30
Contact Information:

Toccoa, GA 30577
Phone: 706 282 3275
Fax: 706 886 7358
Email: Info@TSCHS.org
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. When pre-adopted, the animal is
scheduled to be altered. When that is done, as long as no one has claimed the pet, the pet can
go home with 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 can not hold animals. After the adoption fee has been paid, arrangements will be made to
have the pet altered. No pets leave without being altered.

This pretty kitty is Grayson. Unfortunatley, Grayson is FIV+, but he is non-symptomatic. His age is estimated at 8 years. He has already been fixed. He is a very friendly kitty and he gets along with other animals.
We are hoping someone will take him to heart and give him a loving home!
If you would like more info about Grayson, and FIV, call the shelter. 706 282-3275. Donna can tell you what you need to know. 😀
