The Cherokee County Animal Shelter has announced a "Virtual Rabies Clinic" to help pet owners, financially stressed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, get their animals vaccinated to guard against rabies.
The shelter said it has secured a grant and will offer vaccination vouchers through Aug. 28 or until grant funding is exhausted. To participate, a pet owner must be a Cherokee County resident, able to attest that he or she was furloughed or lost wages due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Vouchers will be mailed to eligible participants and must be used within a month of issue at a participating veterinarian's office, the shelter said. Rabies vaccination is an annual vaccine required by Cherokee County ordinance. Information: https://bit.ly/2TPueZc
