The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers willing to donate their time and talents to help care for homeless animals and support shelter operations.

Shelter officials say they are currently seeking volunteers to assist with answering phones for short shifts throughout the week. Volunteers in this role help direct calls, answer questions from the public, and provide friendly customer service to visitors and callers.

The shelter is also looking for social media volunteers who enjoy photography, videography, and creating online content. Photos, videos, and social media posts play a vital role in helping adoptable animals gain visibility and connect with potential families.

Organizers say there is a volunteer opportunity for nearly everyone, whether helping behind a desk or behind a camera. Community members interested in making a difference are encouraged to get involved and support the shelter’s mission.

Those interested in volunteering can text the word “Volunteer” to 210-380-1759, send a message to the shelter, or stop by in person.

The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is located at 464 Red Oak Road in Summerville.

Juneteenth Celebrates Freedom And Marks A Pivotal Moment In American History

Local News, Local News Items #AmericanHistory, #BanksClosed, #chattoogacounty, #ChattoogaCountyTransferStation, #FederalHoliday, #FreedomDay, #GovernmentOfficesClosed, #Juneteenth, #Juneteenth2026, #lyerlyga, #MenloGA, #PostOfficeClosed, #summervillega, #trionga, #wzqznews 0

Today, Friday, June 19, 2026, communities across the United States are observing Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that enslaved African Americans were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The day is recognized as a time to reflect on freedom, history and the continuing pursuit of equality.

Locally, Chattooga County government offices are closed today in observance of the holiday. Municipal offices in Summerville, Trion, Lyerly and Menlo are also closed. Banks, post offices and many other government offices across the nation are not operating today.

However, Chattooga County officials remind residents that the Chattooga County Transfer Station and all county dumpsites will remain open and operate on their regular schedules throughout the holiday.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 and is celebrated nationwide with educational events, community gatherings, cultural programs and opportunities to reflect on an important chapter in American history.
