This Saturday, July 22nd, is the AAHA-Accredited hospital day. AAHA is the American Animal Hospital Association. Every year AAHA celebrates the select few animal hospitals that have taken the extra steps to achieve excellence in animal care.
Today, we have nearly 900 animals in our system of care. A majority of these animals are young kittens that desperately need to be cared for in a foster home.
Last week, a young cat was brought in with a zip tie bound tightly around his front leg. His foot was swollen to twice its normal size and our expert staff worked quickly to protect this cat from further injury.
Yesterday, we received a call from Suwannee County Animal Shelter in Florida. They needed our help transporting ten dogs out of Hurricane Elsa’s path. Our team immediately jumped into action.
A 3-month old, 2.5-pound kitten arrived at Charleston Animal Society a couple weeks ago with severe injuries to his back legs. Our veterinary team will amputate his back left leg and our administrative staff is helping him socialize as an office foster.
A three-year-old dog is recovering after he was discovered with a choke collar embedded at least an inch into his neck. Charleston Animal Society is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and felony conviction of the person responsible
The 4th of July Holiday is a celebration, but it can be dangerous for pets who are spooked by fireworks. Because one out of three pets will go missing at some point in their lifetime, Charleston Animal Society is teaming up with Petco Love Lost to keep animal safe.
