🇺🇸🎆 4th of July Pet Safety Tips 🎆🇺🇸

As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, don’t forget about your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members! Here are a few important things you can do to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the holiday:

🐾 Avoid high temps & hot pavement – Paws can burn quickly on hot asphalt, and pets can overheat fast in the summer sun. Keep walks short and during cooler hours.

🏡 Pet-proof your home – Fireworks and parties can cause pets to panic and bolt. Make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure. Remove any potential hazards or escape routes.

🎇 Keep pets at home & indoors during fireworks – Even the bravest pets can become fearful when the loud booms start. It’s safest to keep them inside and away from the noise.

🛏️ Create a safe space – Set up a cozy area with familiar bedding, toys, and your scent to help soothe anxiety. White noise or soft music can help drown out the fireworks.

🍔 Keep party food & drinks out of reach – Many BBQ favorites and alcoholic drinks can be toxic to pets. Make sure party guests know not to share food or leave plates unattended.

💊 Refill anxiety meds in advance – If your pet needs medication to help with firework anxiety, give us a call now so we can make sure you’re prepared before the 4th hits.

📅 Please note: We will be CLOSED this Friday so our Footloose crew can enjoy time with their families. Be sure to plan ahead if your pet needs anything!

🎇❤️ A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pets safe and calm during the holiday. If you need a refill, have concerns, or want to make sure your pet is set for the festivities, give us a call at (843) 687-2507.

Stay safe and enjoy the holiday! 🐶🐱🇺🇸

We LOVE Dr. Goldman and Dr. Hall at Footloose! 🙌🏻

Last week, we celebrated one year of Endeavour! On June 24, 2024, we opened our doors to patients and clients for the very first time—beginning an unforgettable journey for our team.

In the past year, we:

👉 Helped diagnose and treat SO MANY small animals around the Midlands and beyond. We couldn't do this without the astounding trust and collaboration from our referral partners and clients.

👉 Grew our team with two new amazing additions, Client Services Representative Chanada Slocum and Veterinary Assistant Cindy Van.

👉 Collaborated with Dr. Dan Hall from Palmetto Veterinary Cardiology, opening the doors to cardiology patients at our practice.

👉 Worked with Zoo and Garden to deliver healthcare services for a diverse range of animal species in their care.

Dr. Goldman is so glad to be back in the community again, reconnecting with past clients and bridging her past clinical roles in Columbia with this new clinic.

Thank you to all our clients, partners, collaborators, and supporters who helped make this year possible. Here's to next year! 🥂

We are so sad to see the passing of a local deputy. Please keep his family, friends, and the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office in your thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻

For Immediate Release
Date: 7/1/2025
Subject: Officer Involved Shooting

Sheriff Michael August would like to release the following statement:

DARLINGTON COUNTY, SC- On July 1, 2025, at approximately 1:30am, Darlington County Deputies responded to a residence on Old Timers Court in reference to a wanted individual. During an encounter inside the residence, two deputies were ambushed, one deputy, Devin Mason, 27, ultimately succumbed to his injuries, and the suspect was killed. Another deputy was transported to the hospital for treatment where he remains in stable condition.

The suspect was identified as Cameron Ray Dennett, a 25-year-old white male. Dennett was prohibited from having a firearm. He had active warrants for Criminal Conspiracy, Forgery, and Computer Act 2nd Degree.

Kristen Porter, a 28-year-old white female, who had active warrants for Criminal Conspiracy, 2 counts for Forgery, and Computer Act 2nd Degree, was apprehended on scene and booked into the Florence County Detention Center.

Per the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office policy, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has been requested to investigate. All media inquiries should be directed to SLED.


Sheriff August stated “Today, we mourn the loss of one of our own, Deputy Devin Mason.

This is an incredibly sad day for Devin’s family, the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office and the entire community we serve. Deputy Mason began his career with our agency in 2024 and graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy on March 28, 2025. He successfully completed his field training last week. In his time with us, he demonstrated unwavering dedication, integrity, and professionalism.

Deputy Mason served the people of Darlington County with heart and honor. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact will not be forgotten.

We ask that you keep Deputy Mason’s family, fellow deputies, and friends in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this difficult time together.

Rest easy, Deputy Mason. We have the watch from here.”


This is an active investigation and more information may follow.
