Nothing Beats a Fun filled- yet COOL SAFE Summer. 😎 🌞🐾

Provide them with cool shaded areas and cool fresh drinking water. - Remember - If it's HOT for you. It's even HOTTER for them. ❗️❗️

Leaving them inside vehicles with hot temperatures outside can be FATAL. (And sadly it DOES happen, alot more often than most realize.)

❤️‍🩹🐾🚨❗️The shelter staff&volunteers are trying their best, and will do all they can (&more) to help the innocent lives that come from OUR COMMUNITIES and depend on them to be their voice. BUT there are TOO many animals in need. And they are FULL and they truly DO need help to continue.
😢
Pictured below - are many beautiful, and highly adoptable animals waiting for their forever homes- located at the Kershaw County Humane Society Camden SC. Unfortunately, this is just SOME- They do have many others available too. ❤️‍🩹

Cats&Kittens- Dogs&puppies - Of all ages, sizes and breeds! We are hoping our post will help them to SAVE lives - and get some of these babies safely out of the shelter environment.
All animals are vaccinated, including bordatella and rabies, all are fixed (or pending appt to be fixed), given monthly preventatives for flea, tick and heartworms. Dogs are heartworm tested, Cats are combo tested. All are microchipped prior to leaving.

You can stop by and meet the animals any time during the public opening hours-🐾🥹 Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm and Saturdays 10am-5pm. (Closed to the public Sunday&Monday)
Or
you can contact the shelter via their TEXTLINE- 803-272-8410- which is regularly monitored by shelter staff during the public opening hours listed above.

All animals can also be viewed on the official shelter website below...
https://www.kchumanesociety.org/ 🌟
(Under the 'Adopt tab' -including those who are on a Mandatory 5-7 Day Stray Hold.) Applications for foster&Adopt can also be located on the website. You can also email any questions to -

&Neuter &vaccinate them 🙏❗️🚨

🚨🚨❗️❗️Any Shepherd lovers out there willing to give one of our many Shepherd/mixes the shelter have available a loving home! These beautiful dogs have all been let down, one way or another by humans. 3 out of 5 of these came in as strays and never reclaimed. One was an owner surrender due to "no time". Sigh. Last but not least, one was abandoned after 6 years. His owner just moved and left him behind. SIGHHH.... This amazing breed requires so much more than a shelter or kennel has to offer. 😔 They are a breed that thrives on being with their person and in a routine that stimulates them and an environment that relaxes them. 😩 Not an overcrowded shelter. They thrive with a confident, loving owner. They really struggle with being confined over long periods of time. It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch this intelligent breed lose interest in "life".

Gina, Roxanne, Sarah Mae, Zeus and Hugo - are available for Rescue, foster and adoption. All of them have had and have dog friends at the shelter. Sarah Mae and Roxanne are a no on cats- but all are dog friendly, love children/ humans! They ALL really need out of the shelter. NOW . 🚨❗️:(

🫶🐾🥹🧡We are SO grateful for our Rescue partners and friends. You all remember Chops, who we posted a few days ago. After some Xrays and a 2 day stay at Camden Vet, the resulting diagnosis is he has quite a nasty fracture In his growth joint/plate! He will require a special kind of "pin" surgery to repair it. From a specialist!! So being something the shelter was unable to provide or get for him. He really needed OUT and into rescue ASAP! Dusty Tails Animal Rescue🤍🐾🖤 stepped up to save this handsome boy and give him a start to a life he truly deserves. With no hesitation. They are an all breed (animal) rescue and really do help and focus on those "underdogs" or the animals who require an extra TLC, to survive! Please go and check them out!
We can not stress enough how Shelters and Rescues RELY on support from our communities and surrounding. So we can take ALL of these animals in and take care of them, get them vetted and into safe loving homes! . Even more so, when they require even more medical care than just the basic vetting.
If you are able to help, just a little. Then please do. Wether that be Fostering, Volunteering, sharing a post or donating - It is always needed and beyond appreciated. And SAVES LIVES! 🐾🤍🖤🧡

😔🚨 When this is just ONE litter of ELEVEN puppies, who were found abandoned in an empty house - with No Mama (or humans) in sight. And then they have to come to our all ready FULL&overcrowded Shelter via animal control. 😭It's hard to be positive. Knowing these innocent littles lives have already faced many hardships. Knowing that 'Black Dog Syndrome' is VERY real. On top of being so young and growing up in this type of environment they run the risks of sickness and being unsocialized- It's hard to be ok.
These babies NEED RESCUE or FOSTERS/ADOPTERS asap! They need OUT OF THE SHELTER 🚨🚨❗️ they are around 8 weeks old and very loving! (Mixed breed)
Had their first vaccines, (will receive their booster, 2nd vaccine), KennelCoughVaccine, de-wormer and preventatives.

*Edit/Update* He Had xrays- thank you Camden vet- and he does have a fracture in his growth joint/plate and will REQUIRE SUREGERY TO REPAIR!
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE- CHOPS NEEDS RESCUE AND/OR FUNDS RAISED TO GET HIM THE CARE&SURGERY HE NEEDS. *pics in comments)

❤️🐾*Medical/vet care needed* and/or Rescue* 🚨🚨🚨🙏🙏

This handsome boy came in to shelter via Animal control couple of days ago, as a stray! And not yet reclaimed-
The shelter staff have named him "Chops" and it seems he needs some medical help! 😔

You see, the shelter staff soon noticed how Chops, wasn't really using his right back leg properly and at times would try to avoid using at all. So because of this he now NEEDS immediate medical attention/Xrays- of course the shelter isn't equipped for this and doesn't have the resources needed. So would need to take him to the vets office! So we would love to help them, help him. ❣️ he will need an xray, so then they can determine what is wrong with his leg and what he needs after that to be ok!
Or better yet if we can find Chops RESCUE- that way he can get what he needs a lot quicker and without having to sit in a shelter environment before and AFTER- that would be amazing!
He is only around 3 months old and evidently will be a short, chunky boy- who will rely on those little legs to keep him functioning and allow him to be a puppy! The shelter is BURSTING at the seams right now with dogs and cats. So could use all the help and support!

Thank you ALL ! 🐾❤️‍🩹 !

🚨🚨The shelter took in MANY stray animals TODAY! ..over 20 dogs and 15 cats.!!! (Many who look lost vs stray)
Please if you are MISSING a pet, check out the shelter (and surrounding county shelters) You just never know if your pet might be there... The Kershaw County Humane Society scan all new arrivals for Microchips (which they report animal as lost/found to chip company and try to make contact if the chip is registered)- and they do TRY their best to post pictures of strays as they come in to the building- on to their page. Please be mindful sometimes pictures of strays are not always possible at the exact moment- especially if they get really busy....
BUT then all animals are uploaded to the shelter's official website. Within 24 hours of arrival (Please note all animals are listed under the *Adopt* tab, including those in foster homes and those on a Mandatory 5-7 day stray hold.)

https://www.kchumanesociety.org/

^^ is where all animals can be seen, or you can stop by in person during public opening hours Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm and Saturdays 10am-5pm.
If you are missing/lost/or found a pet- please send a picture to the shelter textline 803-272-8410 and they will assist you, the best they can. 🙏 🐾



They are in need of PUPPY WET food and Dry food..
And KITTEN WET food (pate' preferred but they will accept any they can right now, as long as it is for baby KITTENS) .! 🚨🚨😩

They can't keep up with the demand, and these supplies are beyond low and all the babies eat 2-3 times a day! So it goes down very quick! 🙏🙏🙏🥹

🚨🚨❌️❌️💔💔😫⚠️ * Warning Graphic images*
Staff arrived this morning to these 3 pitiful dogs, who were brought in over night via animal control. IT IS NOT PRETTY!!!😞 They are in dire need of medical attention! These babies are so sweet and were actually attacked by other dogs, because they were left, living tied up on ropes, thus making them easy targets. They are in SO much pain ! One of the 3 is in a more serious medical condition and she needs immediate medical attention. The other two are not has severe, but still require vet assistance now.
So that's now 4 EMERGENCY medical cases the shelter has, in the last 24 hours!
We hate to keep begging, but we need YOUR help to help these babies! They didn't deserve this. They should have been protected!!
Thankfully now they have the staff at Kershaw County Humane Society and our community behind them!!! 🙌🙌

06/05/2024

😭💔 edit * 6/13 *He left for Rescue* coop
Just when the shelter staff think they have seen it all!!! Then they see something else. 2024 and animals are still being treated like garbage and second to no thoughts. When did some of God's living creatures become so cruel and others so disposable...:( ....

Everyone take a long hard look. He arrived today at the shelter "as a stray,"..
Heartbreaking right!? 💔

The shelter staff have named this boy ..."Salvador"..🙌💓.
Now this boy has been on his OWN for a VERY long time, unnoticed, or he was kept somewhere and neglected/ignored. Either way, this is NOT OKAY! He has not had it easy to say the least- Thankfully he is in great hands now and the shelter staff have promised him, they will do all they can and more to get him feeling better and a life with love.

It is hard to believe (and even see) but there is a Great Pyrenees in there somewhere. Although his physical body condition is evidently poor and broken beyond belief, which did not happen over night..he is STILL carrying around his sweet disposition and kind soul. It’s unbelievable he doesnt seem to hold whatever has happened to him against others. He greeted staff so polite with tails wags, he was a loving boy and walked amazingly on a leash. He released such a huge sigh of relief when he laid upon the soft comforter prepared for him by staff, with a small bowl of comfort food in a quiet medical kennel. He was grateful..💔😭
Now Salvador is going to need some medical attention-so until we get him what he needs it is unclear to what he is exactly going through. We can see he is evidently sore, swollen and dealing with some severe skin concerns/issues- the shelter is not equipped for what he needs so will need to see a vet ASAP. (We do not have much information on him just as he just arrived) but will update as we know more ! Kershaw County Humane Society 🧡💙💔🐾
