Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society

Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society Saving lives, giving compassionate care & finding forever homes for thousands of animals since 1987.

The mission of the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society is to provide a caring and compassionate home for the animals in our care until we find them a forever home. On any given day, we may have up to nearly 100 dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens in our nonprofit, no kill shelter. Our shelter is tucked away on 10 rolling acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by the natural beauty of scenic fore

sts, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and lakes. The dogs and puppies romp and run in spacious outdoor play yards during the day. In the evening, they are all brought indoors to sleep in their own kennel, on their own bed, with biscuits, toys and soothing music. The cats and kittens are free to play and interact in cage-less community cat rooms โ€“ each with a screened porch and large windows. Their lives are enriched with toys and daily socialization by staff and visitors alike. We welcome visitors to our shelter Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Through your support, we can maintain a high quality of care and high adoption rates for our dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens.

And if youโ€™ve met her, you knowโ€ฆ sometimes itโ€™s not just a song that stays with youโ€ฆ itโ€™s a pair of soft, beautiful green eyes that seem to look right into your heart and quietly ask you not to forget. ๐Ÿ’š

Thereโ€™s a gentle kind of love in Georgiaโ€ฆ the kind that doesnโ€™t ask to be noticed, but stays with you long after youโ€™ve walked away.

Sheโ€™s only two years old, and yet somehow, sheโ€™s become one of those souls you think about laterโ€ฆ the one you remember on the drive homeโ€ฆ the one you wish you had just a little more time with.

Sheโ€™s laid back, affectionate, and perfectly content to be a quiet presence beside youโ€ฆ a lap companion, a soft purr at the end of a long day, a steady kind of love that never asks for more than youโ€™re willing to give.

She gets along with everyone... cats, humans, tender hearts of all kinds. And if you shake a bag of treats, sheโ€™ll come running โ€œ๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘ ๐‘ค๐‘’๐‘’๐‘ก ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘™๐‘–๐‘”โ„Ž๐‘ก ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘”โ„Ž ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’๐‘ .โ€ ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒฒ

But when the room grows quiet againโ€ฆ Georgia is still here.

Still watchingโ€ฆ with those gentle green eyes.
Still waiting.
Still hoping that one day, someone wonโ€™t just pass byโ€ฆ but will choose her. ๐Ÿค

Now a longer-term resident CHHS Hero Pet, her adoption fee is just $50 and includes her spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations.

๐ŸŽผ And maybe tonightโ€ฆ when everything is quietโ€ฆ and that old sweet song drifts back into your heartโ€ฆ

โ€ฆit wonโ€™t just be the music you remember.

Itโ€™ll be her.

Waiting.

Every hero has one.

Hazelโ€™s didnโ€™t begin in a comic book. It began right here in the mountains, where a beautiful, strong, six-year-old Lab mix found her way to us after being discovered on her own in Scaly Mountain.

And ever sinceโ€ฆ sheโ€™s been quietly waiting for her next chapter. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Why Kuranda beds?

๐Ÿถ The #1 dog bed preferred by animal shelters and rescues nationwide.
๐Ÿถ A comfortable place to rest tired paws after a day of play.
๐Ÿถ Gentle support for growing puppies and senior dogs alike.
๐Ÿถ An elevated sleeping surface that helps dogs stay comfortable year-round.
๐Ÿถ A safe and cozy place to rest at the end of a wonderful day.

After spending their days romping and running in our acres of outdoor play yards, our dogs come inside for a nutritious dinner and a peaceful night's sleep on their Kuranda beds. Safe, comfortable, and loved, they drift off dreaming of the forever homes we have promised them. โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

As we look back on ten years of lifesaving work, we hope you'll help us look ahead to the next ten by giving the gift of comfort to the dogs entrusted to our care. โค๏ธ
