Charleston Animal Society broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for most pledges received for a pet vaccination campaign in 24 hours, while also setting numerous South Carolina records for animals.
Charleston Animal Society’s No Kill South Carolina initiative is aiming to set the first world record for animals in South Carolina. Free vaccines, microchips and more for 2,000 dogs and cats!
More than 40 state and national animal welfare organizations are gathering in Columbia for the first-ever No Kill South Carolina 2024 (NKSC 2024) State Summit. The “Sprint to the Finish” theme will focus on finding every healthy, treatable and adoptable animal a home, with the goal of making the Palmetto State the first No Kill State across the southern U.S., from Atlantic to Pacific, and across America’s Heartland.
Thursday, December 22nd, just before Christmas, someone abandoned a dog at our gate that was suffering from an injury. She was left tied to a tree in a cardboard box with a life-threatening injury. When our surgical team found her at 7:30 am she needed immediate medical attention. If not for our team’s expertise and care she could have perished. She still has a long road to recovery and is being treated by our team.
While Juliet isn’t out of the woods yet, her health is on the upswing after the removal of 38 hair ties the cat somehow swallowed. “Juliet is in fair condition, but she is being fed very carefully at this time with a feeding tube,” said Charleston Animal Society Associate Director of Veterinary Care Leigh Jamison, DVM. “This blockage has caused a liver condition that we are watching closely.”
Temperatures are expected to dip into the 20s later this week and Charleston Animal Society is urging pet owners to take precautions to protect companion animals and livestock. Please see this lifesaving information from the American Veterinarian Medical Association:
