Community Flood Relief & Resources
McCaysville, Copperhill & Surrounding Communities
Last updated: November 7, 2026 at 7:00am
Our hearts are with our neighbors following the devastating flooding that has affected families, homes, and businesses throughout our community.
As recovery efforts continue, the Humane Society of Blue Ridge is working alongside local organizations and community partners to help those affected, including the animals who depend on them.
We've gathered information about available assistance, donation opportunities, and community resources in one place to help our neighbors find the support they need.
Need help for your pets?
Emergency Shelter & Essential Supplies
Fannin County Recreation Center
370 Tom Boyd Road, Blue Ridge, GA
Emergency shelter has been made available for residents displaced by flooding. Please confirm current availability before traveling.

Pet Food & Supplies
The Humane Society of Blue Ridge has dog and cat food and other pet supplies available for community members affected by the flooding.

Temporary Pet Boarding
We are offering short-term, temporary boarding for a limited number of cats whose families have been displaced by flooding.
We are currently unable to accommodate additional dogs, as our kennels are at capacity & we are also maintaining 4 kennels available for Fannin County Animal Control as they are closed for intake.
For those needing dog boarding assistance, Evolutionary K9 has also offered to help affected families. Please contact them directly for availability.
