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

• AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know…same products, same prices, same service.

On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you need to select Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter to receive donations before you begin shopping. They will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make on AmazonSmile will result in a donation. The percentage is off the purchase price minus any rebates and excluding shipping and taxes. From time to time, they may offer special, limited-time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations.

This cat was found in the vicinity of Rickman road. If you are the owner, please bring proof of ownership and a Rabies certificate to reclaim.
The stray hold, at the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter, is 5 days, which 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.
