This is Homer found at Patterson Pump. 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 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.

Adoption process:

*Stray animals may be pre-adopted before the stray hold is up. However, if an owner comes forward before the adopter picks up the animal, the pet would be returned to the original owner, and the adoption fee would be returned to the adopter.
We're not able to hold animals until the adoption process is complete. 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 cannot hold animals.
