Our story begins with a simple belief
Every animal deserves a chance at love, no matter where they came from or what they’ve been through. What started as one person’s determination to save forgotten animals has grown into a community of passionate rescuers, foster families, and volunteers who never stop fighting for the ones everyone else has given up on.
We’re not just about the happy-ending photos (though we treasure every single one). We’re about the messy middle. The medical cases that keep us up at night. The seniors who need extra time. The shy, shut-down animals who bloom once someone believes in them. This is what Castoff Pet Rescue was built for. This is who we are.
A New Chapter for Castoff Rescue
In 2025 we moved into our brand new facility at 240 Patton Place in Blairsville, Georgia. It was a dream many years in the making, and stepping into this new space has been nothing short of transformative. Just like any new home, we’re learning, adjusting, and growing every day, but the heartbeat behind it remains the same: saving lives and giving every animal a fair shot.
This new shelter gives us the ability to provide better care, expand our community programs, and welcome more animals who need a safe landing. It isn’t just a building. It’s a promise. A promise of second chances, healing, and hope.
Who we are
Castoff Pet Rescue is a nonprofit, no-kill organization serving Union and Towns Counties in Georgia, Clay and Cherokee Counties in North Carolina, and anywhere else our help is needed. We are a 501(c)(3) licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and we receive no public funding.
Every life we save depends on the generosity of donors, adopters, volunteers, and the community that stands with us. Since our beginnings in 20066, when a handful of volunteers fostered in their homes and later transformed an old boarding kennel into our first shelter, thousands of animals have found safety, love, and forever homes through Castoff.
Moving forward together
Our new facility is just the beginning. With continued support, we’ll rescue more animals, grow more programs, and bring even more love and healing to the pets who need us most.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for believing in second chances.
Welcome to the Castoff family.
