It’s with heavy hearts that we announce our veterinarian, Dr. Kagney Hutson, will be leaving Fix Charleston on May 2nd to start her new position out of state.

Dr. Hutson has been with us for close to two years and has helped to bring outstanding care to numerous animals in the Kanawha Valley and beyond. We are so sad to see her go, but are excited to see what the future holds for her as well as our clinic.

With this news, we wanted to take a moment to explain how services will change here at Fix Charleston:
- We will no longer be offering weekly spay/neuter and wellness.
- We WILL, however, be hosting regular pop up wellness events and mobile spay/neuter opportunities! Keep an eye on our page for updates!

Our main focus in the foreseeable future will be to increase our high quality medical care and spay and neuter capacity for the shelter animals, which are our first priority. We also plan to increase our presence in the community for mobile vaccine clinics!

We are working our tails off to find a new veterinarian to continue to grow our live-saving mission.

In the mean time, Fix Charleston will continue to be open to provide records for all clients Monday to Friday each week. We will also continue to sell over the counter products that your pets need to keep them happy and healthy!

We appreciate your support and patience as we navigate these new times🩵We can’t wait to continue serving you to the best of our ability!

Our parking lot is currently underwater here at Fix Charleston😰

If you are scheduled for an appointment today, be cautious coming out! We are going to do our best to see patients, however we will keep everyone updated on the water situation. Keep an eye on our page for cancellations and important changes!

BREAKING: we are almost underwater 😭

The main kennels are safe, but our overflow kennels are concerning. The water is touching our overflow space, where we have 13 dogs 😭

And more rain is on the way 💔

We DESPERATELY need adopters and fosters today. Our goal is to move 15 dogs out to be able to clear out the area that's starting to take on water.

Our team is rushing in - our executive director and an amazing volunteer got in at 6:30 to make sure the animals were safe for right now while we made a plan.

We'll have our staff ready to go at noon to process fosters and adopters!! $14 for dogs and puppies, fostering is free and we'll give you supplies ❤️

8am update - we're gathering supplies for sending dogs to foster. If you have a leash please bring it with you when you come up! We are in short supply on them!

11AM: You all are amazing! We are already seeing fosters come to help and sponsor pets for adoption 🥹

NEARLY EVERY AVAILABLE DOG IS NOW SPONSORED!! We're at 114/119 available dogs fully covered - including puppies!!

If you'd like to sponsor a pet for $14, you can do that on this form: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/adoptionfeesponsorships
