Charleston Animal Society continues its emergency relief effort with FREE DOG ADOPTIONS this week as the shelter remains overcrowded with homeless dogs. Internet sensations Johnathan Lower and his dog Teddy stepped in to help with their @aguyandagolden “Shelter Saturday” video that highlights homeless dogs looking for families.
Charleston Animal Society is facing a life-threatening emergency because the shelter is out of room to care for homeless dogs and we need the community to help right now. “We’re at a breaking point and we urgently need the public to adopt a homeless dog this weekend,” said Charleston Animal Society Vice President of Operations and Strategy Aldwin Roman, CAWA.
The “Happy Hutch” adoption enclosure is open for business. The new lifesaving adoption housing features specially designed viewing enclosures. Its dynamic, ventilated, and well-lit space can house up to 8 sweet animals such as rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, Guinea Pigs, hamsters, and rats thanks to an Oxbow Animal Health capital grant.
Internet sensation Johnathan Lower and his Golden Retriever Teddy (@AGuyAndAGolden) will be joining thousands of humans and their canine companions at Riverfront Park (1061 Everglades Avenue, North Charleston, SC 29405) on Saturday, June 10, 2023 for Celebrity Paws in the Park presented by Crews Subaru! People and dogs can participate in the Walk for Animals from 9 am to 10 am and the day-long Celebrity Paws in the Park festival from 10 am to 3 pm. Sign-up to participate or purchase advance tickets at CharlestonAnimalSociety.org/Paws.
Colleton County Animal Shelter is bursting at the seams with dogs and needs the public’s help. “We have seen at least 15 litters of puppies come in during the past two months,” said Shelter Director Laura Clark. “We have not had to euthanize an animal for space in the past four years and we want to keep it that way. This is why we need the public to come give one of these dogs a second chance at happiness.”
Two pet black rabbits were discovered dead in a cage at low tide on April 28th, at Pierpont Boat Landing located at 94 Cedar Lane in West Ashley. The City of Charleston Police Department is currently seeking information on the owner of the rabbits and any details related to their death.
Charleston Animal Society is thrilled to announce its fifth lifesaving car raffle, made possible by the generous donation of Hank and Laurel Greer. The Greers have once again stepped up to support animals by donating a luxury 2023 Lexus RX 350h for this year’s raffle.
Prom Season is here and our dogs would like a chance to go with you to the big dance! Often, shelter dogs can be overlooked, so some of our favorite pups put on their prom dresses and tuxedos, and readied themselves for their close-ups! Jeanne Taylor of Jeanne Taylor Photography donated her time and talents to make sure each dog got their chance to shine!
Berkeley Animal Center and Charleston Animal Society are coming together for a joint adoption campaign to save the lives of healthy dogs who are in desperate need of loving homes. “The goal of Operation Dog Rescue is to help empty the animal shelters in Berkeley and Charleston that are currently over capacity,” said No Kill South Carolina 2024 Chief Project Officer Abigail Appleton, PMP, CAWA. “At Berkeley County, animals are being placed in temporary crates.”
No Kill South Carolina 2024 is proud to announce its participation in the Florence Area Community Cat Project. Charleston Animal Society’s Simon Greer Mobile Spay-Neuter Clinic will be at Florence County Environmental Services to officially launch this much-needed initiative.
