Announcing our 9th annual Stuff the Stockings for the more than 110 animals currently in our care! Each CHHS shelter pet has a personalized stocking and we are filling them with food, toys, treats and supplies including: crunchy dog treats, bully sticks and Busy Bones; cat treats; canned food and dry kibble (Purina dog chow, cat chow, puppy and kitten chow); stuffed toys and durable toys for dogs such as Kongs; interactive toys for cats and kittens; pet supplies including Sporn harnesses, slow feeder bowls, cat scratching posts, dog and cat beds, and small fleece blankets.
Stuff the Stockings presents can be purchased and/or dropped off at local participating sponsors (Paws on the Mountain, Cashiers Valley Pharmacy, Highlands Hiker in Cashiers, Animal Wellness Hospital of Highlands, and Highlands Mountain Paws), brought to the shelter or shipped via UPS or FedEx to: CHHS, 200 Gable Drive, Sapphire, NC 28774. Stuff the Stockings goodies can also be found and shipped from our online wish lists at Chewy and Amazon.
The Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society has been a beacon of compassion since 1987. As a private, no-kill, 501(c)(3) nonprofit shelter, CHHS has rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed thousands of abandoned and neglected animals across the Plateau. Our mission goes beyond sheltering—CHHS fosters community connection through humane education programs for local schools and pet therapy visits to elder care facilities.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., welcoming visitors to meet adoptable pets or learn more about volunteer opportunities. You can also see our cats and dogs online at chhumanesociety.org
Driving to CHHS is simple: the facility is located at 200 Gable Drive in Sapphire, just a short drive from both Cashiers and Highlands. For mail correspondence, use P.O. Box 638, Cashiers, NC 28717.
Whether you’re looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our upcoming veterinary clinic opening in 2027, CHHS offers a warm invitation to be part of their life-saving work. Learn more at chhumanesociety.org.
