Cherokee County
Humane Society Foster Rescue Program
CCHS Foster Rescue
Program is in desperate need of foster homes. The Foster Rescue program
helps alleviate overcrowding at the shelter as well as offering an option
for animals that arrive at the shelter. The Foster Rescue Program is thrilled
to announce that a new off-site adoption location dedicated to fosters
and rescues has recently been secured and should go a long way towards
shortening the amount of time a foster is in a home. For more information
about being a foster home, please call Debbie Marcia at (770) 928-2784.
