This week marks our 14th Birthday as an organization. This year's big accomplishment was the installation of this building. Though we have a long way to go before we can use it for the intended purpose, we are grateful for the space.

Her story brought a lot of awareness to animal cruelty. Rest easy sweet girl.

This was posted just now from Caitlyn the dog’s family! Our hearts are shattered but we rejoice in knowing that Caitlyn knew love for many years.

We are devastated to share that our sweet Caitlyn peacefully passed over the rainbow bridge on Sunday surrounded by love. She suddenly became ill in the last week and was diagnosed with an advanced and aggressive cancer. As was her nature, she fought until the end. Caitlyn was a beloved and now deeply missed member of our family. She loved us as much as we loved her and we will never forget her. For us, this is a reminder of how fleeting life can be and that we should all value the time we have with our loved ones because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
We are eternally grateful to the Charleston Animal Society for entrusting us with the care of our beautiful and loving girl. Without the incredible work of the Charleston Animal Society and organizations like them, stories like Caitlyn's story would not be possible. They do incredible work everyday and are a vital community asset that needs our collective support to continue their mission.
People would often say to us how lucky she was to have found us when the exact opposite was true. She was a tremendous blessing and a gift to our family that we cherished and loved everyday. We remain very proud of the work done on her case and the ongoing work we are involved in related to animal welfare and combating cruelty.
However, as proud as we are of bringing justice to her, what we are proudest of is being her family and having had her in our lives for as long we did.

Pupdate!
Trixie turns 10!
This lovely girl was hit by a car and picked up by animal control back in 2016. After extensive surgery and a long recovery time with her foster, Trixie found a home in 2017 with her mama Suzanne who graciously sends us pupdates and photos. Wish this sweet girl a Happy Birthday!
This sure did make me smile today!
We hope to have some new building updates to share with yall real soon!
