Judy Wyles, co-founder of Cherokee County's Project Zero, appeared on local television today with Madonna, a wonderful Staffordshire Terrier who is available for adoption. Madonna showed up as a stray at the home of a well-known rescuer of unwanted dogs. She's been fully vetted and has no agression towards anyone or anything. She is very sweet and affectionate, and gets along well with dogs and people. Madonna is close to a year old and about 30lbs - please consider taking this wonderful pet into your home. Look for the Pet of the Week on local television to learn about other great animals looking for a new home!

Project Zero opened its phone lines for Cherokee County's new low-cost spay/neuter program in mid-June. Geared to help low-income residents afford to alter their pets, information and access to a phone counselor can be found by calling 864-488-1FIX (1349) and leaving a message in the "voice mail in the sky." Someone will return your call between 9am and 5pm Monday through Thursday. We are also in the process of opening an adoption center in a pastoral setting just minutes from town. The pets we rescue from the shelters will be quarantined in foster care for no less than 7 days. After they complete our assessment process and are fully vetted, they will be placed in the kennels at the adoption center pending permanent placement. We are committed to making Project Zero the most affordable place in Cherokee County for individuals and families to find a healthy, friendly and well-adjusted new pet.
