Two days before Thanksgiving, a person found the dog left alone in a cat carrier, in front of an apartment in the Palmilla Apartment Complex in West Ashley. The dog was taken to an emergency vet clinic for treatment of what appear to be chemical burns. Charleston Animal Society veterinarians have continued lifesaving care or the schnauzer-mix, including pain medication and antibiotics.

This year, there were a record number of 709 entrants who raised a total of $81,699 for Charleston Animal Society’s No Kill South Carolina initiative, helping make our state a friendlier place for animals. When the voting phase closed in September, the public selected three cats and three dogs as the finalists in the running for Spokescat and Spokesdog respectively.

Launch of the Lowcountry Pit Crew! A community-wide effort to find every homeless dog a loving family. This two-day celebration will include fee-waived adoptions with extended hours on Saturday, free Hill’s Science Diet food for a year for the first 50 adopted dogs, plus a “watch party” to see if our animals win a brand new Defender vehicle from Land Rover!

Every Papa Johns Pizza Store in Charleston will have a flyer profiling a long-stay shelter dog looking for a new home.
