We’re thrilled to share that Castoff Pet Rescue has finally moved into our brand new shelter—located at 240 Patton Place, Blairsville, GA! This has been a long-time dream of ours, and while the journey to get here has had its fair share of challenges (and more than a few “what now?” moments), we’re so excited for what lies ahead. Like any new home, we’re ironing out the kinks and solving fresh puzzles every day, but our hearts are full and our vision is big. This new space means better care for our animals, more room for community connection, and a stronger foundation to keep growing. We’re building not just a shelter—but a safe haven full of second chances and new beginnings. Castoff Pet Rescue is a nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue based in Blairsville, Georgia. Operating as a 501(c)(3) organization and licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, we proudly serve Towns and Union Counties in Georgia, Clay and Cherokee Counties in North Carolina, and any place where animals need us. As a nonprofit, we receive no public funding. Every life we save is made possible by donations, adoption fees, and fundraising events. That means you—our supporters, volunteers, and community—are the heartbeat of everything we do. Founded in 2006, Castoff began as a passionate group of volunteers fostering animals in their homes. In early 2007, we took over an old boarding kennel that had fallen into disrepair and transformed it into our first shelter with a lot of elbow grease and love. Now, in 2025, we’ve stepped into a new chapter at our forever home. Thanks to caring people like you, Castoff Pet Rescue has helped place hundreds of dogs and cats into loving forever homes—and we’re just getting started. We hope you’ll continue to be part of this journey with us. Together, we’re doing something extraordinary. Welcome to the Castoff family. ❤️
