Pet Helpers is a nonprofit 501(c)3 Rescue and Adoption Center that serves communities across the Lowcountry. Our mission is to end the euthanasia of all adoptable cats and dogs by keeping all animals until adopted; providing low cost spay/neuter surgeries; offering humane education programs; pursuing animal-cruelty prosecution; and initiating animal-welfare legislation. We also have a high quality

, low-cost Spay/Neuter Center that is open to the public. We offer vaccines, heartworm prevention/treatment, general surgeries, and routine medical care for your pet. Pet Helpers’ vision is to offer affordable, spay/neuter services and access basic wellness services to families across the Lowcountry. We offer these services to the general public but also focus aggressively on communities with high rates of animal reproduction and pets belonging to low-income populations. Increased accessibility to affordable spay neuter services and basic wellness care will reduce pet overpopulation and help to keep animals out of the shelter system.

🐾 New Year, New Home: Make a Resolution That Sticks! 🐾

January is all about fresh starts, big dreams, and... resolutions we actually stick to. Fun fact: The second Friday of January is unofficially called “Quitter’s Day” – when most of us give up on our goals. But guess what? We’ve got the secret to staying on track in 2024: adopt a dog! 🐶💖

Our adoption floor is full of amazing canine companions ready to help you crush your resolutions:

✨ Get Active: Dogs = the best workout buddies. Morning jogs, park playtime, or strolls – they’ll keep you moving!
✨ Find Joy: From goofy tail wags to hilarious zoomies, dogs bring endless smiles and laughter.
✨ Reduce Stress: Science proves it – pets are mood boosters. And let’s be honest, belly rubs > therapy.

2024 Rewind: Rescues, Adoptions & YOU!

What a year it was! Inspired by those “year in review” recaps we all love (think Spotify Wrapped), we’re looking back on everything we accomplished together in 2024. Spoiler alert: YOU were the MVP of this playlist!

Here’s What You Helped Us Achieve in 2024:
🐾 1,262 animals rescued - each with their own unique story and chance at a happy ending.
🏡 1,057 adoptions - that’s over 1,000 new best friends and forever families!
🩺 1,182 spay/neuter surgeries - helping us hit the high notes on preventing unwanted litters.
🐱1,275 community cats TNR’d - reducing strays and giving them healthier, happier lives.
🐶921 animals fostered - because you opened your hearts and homes to them.

That’s a lot of tail wags, purrs, and belly rubs! Each stat is more than just a number; it’s a testament to the kindness and dedication of people like you who gave these animals a chance at a better life.

But, why stop there? Let's go bigger and bolder in 2025! We’re ready to turn the volume up on our mission - but we can’t do it without you!

With your help, we’re setting some big goals for the new year:
🌟 More animals fostered in safe, warm, loving homes.
🌟 More spay/neuter surgeries performed to save reduce the overpopulation crisis in our area.
🌟 Providing greater resources to pet owners so that we can help more animals find and more importantly stay with their owners.
🌟 Growing our Humane Education programs to inspire the next generation of animal advocates.

Because of you, 2024 was a chart-topping success. Let’s make 2025 an even bigger hit for the animals in our community. Thank you for being the heart behind every pawprint. 💕🐾💕

🎤 Introducing Big Bird: The Fluffiest Diva You’ll Ever Meet!

At 65 pounds of pure sass and fluff, Big Bird is here to steal hearts and take names (in that order). This 6-year-old Chow mix has a BIG personality to match his name and a smile so dazzling (thanks to his signature crooked tooth) you’ll wonder why he hasn’t landed a toothpaste commercial yet.

💁‍♂️ House Rules According to Big Bird:

1️⃣ Worship the floof – Pets are a must, but only on his schedule.
2️⃣ Snacks are non-negotiable – He takes treat time VERY seriously.
3️⃣ Admire the attitude – That sass? It’s a full-time job keeping you entertained.

Big Bird’s dream home? Somewhere he can be your quirky, fluffy shadow (and maybe your couch's new favorite decoration).

👉 Ready to meet this one-of-a-kind superstar? Come by the shelter and let Big Bird show off that smile IRL. Can’t adopt? Share his story and help this diva find his forever stage!
