Cherokee County Humane Society
Foster Rescue Program
CCHS Foster Rescue Program is in desperate
need of foster homes. As puppy and kitten season approaches, CCHS needs
to establish homes that will be ready to foster a litter with or without
a mother. When young kittens or puppies are turned into the shelter, it
is primarily because of risk of disease, and space constraints make it
impossible for them to stay there until they are old enough to adopt.
If you are interested in more information about being a foster home for
puppies or kittens, please call Debbie Marcia at (770) 928-2784.
Cherokee
