Recent News
*Animal Shelter Notice*
**Effective immediately, we are temporarily closing puppy intake due to a recent outbreak of the Parvo virus within our shelter.** This outbreak has unfortunately led to multiple deaths, and we are taking immediate action to prevent further spread.
Our dedicated puppy and young dog wing will be undergoing a comprehensive two-week decontamination. During this time, we ask that anyone needing to surrender a puppy contact us at 843-623-3585. We can provide guidance on available procedures during the closure.
Additionally, we are seeking donations of essential cleaning supplies to support our decontamination efforts. We need items such as bleach, Rescue disinfectant, shoe covers, impervious gowns, and disposable gloves. For specific products, our wishlist is available on Amazon.
To our nonprofit organizations and rescue partners, your assistance is invaluable. Please contact us if you can offer support in caring for our animals during this challenging time.
Together, we can ensure the health and safety of the animals in our care. Thank you for your understanding and support.
