A new friendly rivalry is underway in Chattooga County, as Chattooga and Trion face off in the Battle of the Beds to raise money for the Chattooga County Animal Shelter. The goal of the month-and-a-half-long campaign is to replace worn-out beds currently used by shelter pets with new elevated beds that offer better comfort, cleanliness, and support.
The Chattooga County Animal Shelter will host a special adoption event this Saturday, March 14, from 10 AM until 4 PM.
A number of dogs and cats will be available for adoption, including Ember, Rem, Lick, Rosie, Kuma, Hoss, Diesel, Gojo, Buster, Ranger, Boone, Maple, Radar, Ollie, Freckles, Dottie, Pepper, Ozzie, and George. Shelter officials encourage residents to stop by, meet the animals, and consider giving a pet a new home.
The event will take place at the Chattooga County Animal Shelter, 464 Red Oak Road in Summerville. For more information, call 706-857-0679.
The WZQZ Pet of the Week is Hoss, a 2-year-old male dog currently waiting for a home at the Chattooga County Animal Shelter in Summerville. Shelter staff describe Hoss as a “big teddy bear” with a friendly personality who would love to find a family willing to give him a second chance.
Hoss came to the shelter as a stray and is not yet neutered, but he is available for adoption now with a $25 adoption fee. Anyone interested in meeting Hoss can visit the Chattooga County Animal Shelter at 464 Red Oak Drive in Summerville.

The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is inviting the community to help support cats in its care through a new initiative called “Adopt a Kitty Corner.” The program allows businesses, families, classrooms, organizations, and individuals to sponsor a cat space inside the shelter and directly support cats as they wait for adoption.
Earlier it was reported that the Chattooga County Animal Shelter was at full capacity and was not taking in animals. WZQZ News has been notified that information is incorrect. The shelter is operating normally at this time. Area residents are still encouraged to consider adopting animals from the Chattooga County Animal Shelter.
