Cherokee County Animal Shelter offers pet Memorial Lanterns

The Cherokee County Animal Shelter continues its annual Memorial Lantern celebration for pets lost over the past year, with a slight change this year — participants can order lanterns online, to be displayed in the shelter lobby through the end of February.

Suggested donation is $5 for a small lantern and $10 for a large lantern. Payments can be made through the PayPal link on the shelter’s website, or by mailing or dropping off the donation at the Cherokee County Animal Shelter, 1015 Univeter Road, Canton GA 30115.

Please be sure to email shelterfriends@gmail.com with the name(s) to be inscribed on the lantern.
