Rosie is waiting at the Chattooga County Animal Control Shelter for someone to give her the loving forever home she deserves.
According to Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter, Rosie is affectionate, incredibly sweet and eager to make friends with everyone she meets. She greets visitors with a wagging tail and plenty of kisses, always hoping the next person she sees could become her person.
Anyone interested in adopting Rosie can meet her at the shelter, located at 464 Red Oak Road in Summerville.
The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Wednesday visits are available by appointment.

Chattooga County Animal Control is asking for the community’s help as the shelter experiences an influx of young kittens.
According to shelter officials, 14 kittens have been taken in during the past week alone, including nine that arrived without their mother and require additional care and feeding.
The shelter is currently in urgent need of wet kitten food donations, and officials say any brand will help. Donations can be dropped off during shelter operating hours or mailed directly to the facility.

A continuing disagreement involving animal welfare efforts in Chattooga County is drawing renewed attention after Sole County Commissioner Andy Allen released a statement this week calling for clearer communication and a face-to-face meeting with the Animal Advocates of Chattooga County. The commissioner’s statement follows months of tension and includes earlier correspondence from this spring that centered on concerns about the county animal shelter and its leadership.
