A QR code at the front door of the shelter will become active starting at 10 a.m. today, please scan the QR code to enter the “virtual line.” The shelter adopts on a first come, first served basis, so animals can’t be put on hold. The adoption fee includes spay or neuter, heartworm and leukemia testing, initial vaccinations, deworming, flea preventative, microchipping and more. (Cherokee County Animal Shelter via Facebook)
