 WHAT WE DO
The Cherokee County Animal Shelter is a "full service" operation. We take in animals that are brought in by Cherokee County animal control officers, animals owned by citizens of Cherokee County and unwanted strays found in Cherokee County. The Cherokee County Animal Shelter also adopts animals out to the public. The adoption fee is $100.00.

 

    ANIMAL CONTROL
    The Cherokee County Marshal's Office is responsible for animal control in Cherokee County. 
      Animal Control Officers are dispatched to answer calls pertaining to:
    • animal bites
    • stray animals
    • violations of local animal ordinances

    Primarily these calls are for the handling of domestic animals.
    In case of an emergency, after duty hours, an Animal Control Officer can be dispatched by calling 911.
