Our Featured Pet
CHESTER!
Chester sat at a local shelter for many weeks – he just kept getting overlooked day after day. Oh, don’t get us wrong, it had nothing to do with his personality or behavior. It’s just easy to miss a calm, brown dog in a shelter environment. Fortunately, Chester had befriended the shelter staff and lots of volunteers. He won their hearts - so they worked really hard to get him out. They worried about him…. He was getting skinnier every day from the stress of shelter life. He was really yearning for a home. Fortunately, CCHS stepped up to help him and he just couldn’t be happier.
Chester is estimated to be 8 years old – but is probably younger. He’s bigger than he looks in his photos – maybe around 50 lbs or so. He’s mostly tan all over and his ears stand up like he’s got his very own radar station perched atop his head. He’s a super sweet kid with an adorable smile and the cutest little round head you’ve ever seen. He’s just awesome with other dogs – and he has no issues with dog savvy cats, seems to like them in fact. He is fully house-trained and very, very well-behaved. He’s the kind of dog you’d want your kids to grow up with. Chester loves to be with you and, as it turns out, he is a Class-A snuggler – he likes to be right beside you – really close - even sharing your pillow if you let him.
Chester’s previous family said they couldn’t keep him because he wouldn’t stay in their fenced yard... so to be safe, he probably needs a tall fence or a family dedicated to leash walking him. He has shown no signs of trying to escape his foster home’s yard, so we think he really just needed to be included in family activities and not banished outside alone. If you’re looking for a best-friend type of dog who does really well in the house, please check out Chester.

We are a network of foster homes of people who provide temporary foster care primarily for Cherokee County's strays and displaced animals while they await their forever homes. Our primary foster homes are approved fosters for Cherokee County Humane Society. In addition, we list animals for other licensed rescues. Many of our rescued pets come from shelters, but we also take them in directly from
owners when we have room. This allows us to lessen the burden on the shelters. We also help independent rescuers place their rescued pets. Lastly, we also provide postings for owners needing assistance in rehoming their own pets.
Adopting a friend
If you find a pet you are interested in, please e-mail us. We will send you our adoption application. We do often require pre adoption home visits as well. We are not a shelter and we do not have a facility you can visit. If pre approved to adopt, we will set up an appointment for you to meet and adopt your new family member. A contract will then be completed and an adoption fee will apply to cover the pets foster care and veterinary expenses.
