Rescue, Care, Spay, Adopt

Handsome Kane, CH Humane Society’s champion ribbon-chewer, is patiently waiting for a loving home.
In addition to multiple community outreach programs, the core mission of the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society has four parts, with each component equally as important as the others: (1) Rescue; (2) Compassionate Care; (3) Spay/Neuter and; (4) Adoption. In honor of October as National Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month, this article focuses on the fourth part of that mission.
The Humane Society of the United States classifies cats and dogs as “companion animals.” Felines and canines are different from farm livestock, wild animals and exotic species. Cats and dogs have been bred for the past several thousands of years for companionship.
And what is companionship? Plain and simple – a loving, forever home with a responsible, compassionate human. A non-profit no-kill shelter like CHHS does heroic work on behalf of abandoned and neglected animals in our community through the initial rescue, ongoing compassionate care, and spay/neuter of each animal to reduce future unwanted pet overpopulation.
But we believe our work is not done until the new adopting family has been found.
And so our work is not done on behalf of a model canine citizen named Kane. This handsome four-year-old is our current longest-term resident, and he was our honorary “ribbon-chewer” at the grand opening of our new dog walking trail this past July.
Kane is a spectacularly wonderful, awesome, and incredible dog. That may be chock-full of superlatives, but meet this friendly canine and we think you’ll agree. Kane has excellent manners and he loves everyone he meets, whether two-legged or four-legged.
For 37 years, CHHS has never given up on the shelter pets entrusted to our care, and we will never give up on Kane. Come meet this amazing dog and share a lifetime of unconditional love with the extraordinary canine citizen Kane.
