In January 2001, the Cherokee County Humane Society Board of Directors introduced its SNAP program. This on-going service provided to those financially qualified is the first program designed by CCHS to actively combat the pet overpopulation problem in the county. Special spay-neuter days are being planned where those qualified may bring their pets to be altered at no cost. In addition to the special spay neuter clinics, several area veterinarians have joined forces with CCHS and are performing the surgeries at their offices. Our focus in 2001 is to reduce the unwanted pet population in this county, reducing the number of animals entering shelters, and ultimately reducing the number of animals euthanized in our county.
Unwanted pets continue toreproduce and exacerbate the overpopulation problem.
