In January 2021, Cedartown native, Kerry Hall, passed away after a short battle with cancer. Kerry loved animals, all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, birds, and even turtles. During her life she welcomed and cared for scores of animals on her property between Cedartown and Rockmart.
When she died, her family could think of no better way to honor her memory than to donate her house and outbuildings to become a permanent, official no-kill shelter and adoption center for the creatures she loved so dearly.
The Hall family has transformed their loss into a living memorvial that fulfilles the dream of Cedartown/Polk County Humane Society and the hundreds of volunteers who have supported the organization since it was founded in 2014.
