05/27/2024

UPDATE: She had a body score of 1/9. Most of you know that 9 is best. 1 is worst. She just too far gone when we got her. Bill $331.00. Thx to those who donated so quickly !!!!! Always amazed at the good ppl that step up when the going is tough. Thx again everyone. I deal with a lot and I must say that this one as bad as any I’ve ever seen. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one this bad. My insides just totally ripped inside out. 😢😢😢Warning. Graphic photos. I posted about a sad situation with a sweet, suffering soul that was on the way to the Emergency Room. Painfully obvious that she matted and underweight. Many puncture wounds and an eyeball that had to be removed. I asked for donations and you generously started giving. I’m so sad to report that she didn’t make it. I took the post down because Just as I completed it, the Dr called to report results of other tests and bloodwork. Her poor body could not withstand the treatment required. I immediately took down the post but couple of you had already given. We will have a bill to pay but it will not be what we thought as she could not be saved. We can return your donations or apply it to her much smaller bill. We don’t yet know an amount as this is all happening now. Our hearts are just broken and our insides wrung out at the suffering this sweet soul endured. Thank to those who so quickly helped and the many others that would have I’m sure.

German Shep

Formerly Jessie. Now living in colorado. Here’s what her owner says: Today at the dog park. It was 12 degrees and she refused to leave! 😂 Had to put her leash on to get her back into the car!

Milo not really interested!!!!!!

Mattie needs very special home

This is Mattie and she is a sweet German Shepherd girl who is rather small at 35 lbs. Mattie’s story is hard to tell - she was brought to us by a man we will call Mr Hero. Driving down road he sees Mattie being beaten by man. Stops the car and tells the man to stop beating the dog. Man replies “ it’s my dog I’ll do what I want” Mr Hero offers the man $50 and calls us because he absolutely cannot keep dog, but couldn’t leave her . Of course we said yes!!!!!! Mattie is very sweet and she’s trying to learn to trust again. Please help us find the very special home that Mattie deserves.

At First Methodist having breakfast and getting pictures made with Santa. Here till 11am.

Happy thanksgiving from some of the puppers at our shelter!!!

We just don’t understand why our medium sized and bigger dogs are getting completely looked over! You can’t find a better companion then our dogs! Check out this video of Lexie and please take a look at all of our dogs here- https://petlover.petstablished.com/organization/2484224?fbclid=IwAR0y03FmU5qEO2Gixe3Sn84RpE3xQXV-g4PxuMM3CrDuhE974c30lxkOhWw

#Butterfly is so cute and is overlooked every weekend when we’re open 🥺🥺🥺 If you want a dog who knows when to chill and when to play, she’s your gal. About 50 lbs and 2.5 year old, she’s the perfect size and super sweet. She loves other dogs, too! #adoptme #houndmix #shelterdog

Little Lili is doing great in her foster home! She gets along with her foster siblings, even the grumpy older sister! She’s great with the 2 kitties there as well. She’s the sweetest thing, weighing in at 17 lbs, she’s about a year and a half old and shy until she warms up. #ratterrier #adoptme

Our Story

The Cedartown Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization established in 2014 in Polk County, Georgia Vision: Polk County is a caring community that will reduce the surplus population of pets and find loving homes for all animals in need. Goals: 1) Partner with Polk County Animal Control to establish an innovative, aggressive adoption program. 2) Initiate Responsible Pet Ownership education in public schools. 3) Increase funding for local animal rescue and adoption groups. 4) Raise public awareness of the importance of spraying or neutering pets. 5) Identify foster homes for animals awaiting adoption. 6) Develop an age appropriate Responsible Pet Ownership (RPO) program for presentation in county schools. 7) Recruit presenters for RPO programs, secure approval from Polk County Elementary Schools. 8) Recruit and train volunteers to run a surrender prevention/pet retention program. 9) Secure grants and corporate sponsorships to increase funding for animal needs. 10) Partner with local and regional media to publicize animal adoption information and increase public awareness of low-cost spaying and neutering programs. 11) Work with county officials to increase public confidence by improving and transparency of animal control operations. 12) Educate local and state public offials on the advantages of mandating breeder's licenses for un-spayed or un-neutered dogs and cats.

We are also working to build the Kimoto Animal Clinic and Shelter on land donated by Kimoto. The facility will offer low-cost vet services on a more regular basis than we can do now, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering as well as have space to house animals ready for adoption. This will be an enormous benefit to not only Polk County, but to surrounding counties as it will reduce the unwanted and stray animal population, provide additional space for more animals to be pulled from the animal shelter, and provide a low-cost vet option to those not only in Polk County, but to those in surrounding counties that does not currently exist.
