Adopt Nacho 💛
Nacho was supposed to have a meet & greet yesterday, but they unfortunately didn't show - he didn't let it bring him down and he enjoyed the day anyways!
This happy go-lucky boy is estimated to be about 6 years old and is full of life! He loves to play with toys and is great with other dogs. His perfect home would have an active lifestyle that will provide him with daily exercise and mental stimulation. Nacho sleeps in his crate quietly when needed and is doing great with house training!
Nacho is heartworm positive and is set to receive his treatment through the shelter ❤️🩹
Nacho currently lives with an awesome foster family, but he's so hopeful that he's going to find HIS family soon - could it be you? His only request is lots of loves and plenty of toys to choose from 🫶 If you are interested in meeting him, please reach out via message here or call Berkeley Animal Center at 843-719-5050 to set up a meet & greet!
Meet NELLIE! 🫶
At just under 8 years old, Nellie has found herself homeless and hoping for a forever family of her very own. She came into Berkeley Animal Center over a month ago and is eager to bust out of full time shelter living ASAP! She would benefit from finding a temporary foster home or (ideally) an adopter!
Nellie is dog friendly and oh, man, she is so so sweet. After she zoomed around and played with her toys, she ran right over and climbed on to my lap. We sat like that for a while 🩷
Nellie is heartworm positive and her treatment will be provided through the shelter.
Nellie has a lot of odds stacked against her, but we know the home this wonderful girl deserves is out there... So let's help her find it! Please share with anyone you know who may be looking for their perfect new addition.
If you are interested in meeting Nellie, either to foster or adopt, please visit her at 131 Central Berkeley Drive in Moncks Corner, SC 29461 this week between 1pm and 5pm. 📍 It is always recommended to bring any dogs in the home to ensure a good fit.
😍 Meet Jeff 😍
Jeff is a toy loving hound that is looking for a home of his very own! He is currently in a loving foster home where he has begun his heartworm treatment, but he is still dreaming of a family to call "his".
Jeff is:
🐾 Dog, kid & cat friendly
🐾 A sweet, relaxed gentleman
🐾 A lover of belly rubs, naps, and snuggles
🐾 About 3 years old & 60-ish lbs
Jeff is an EASY dog and would fit in perfectly with any family! If you are feeling like Jeff was meant for YOU, please reach out to Berkeley Animal Center at 843-719-5050 OR PM us your contact information to set up a meet & greet!

Priscilla is unfortunately one of hundreds of heartworm positive dogs that enter the shelter system every year. While heartworm is a completely preventable disease, it is fatal if not treated, and at one point, would deem a dog unadoptable. The Heroes for Hearts program was created to rally around the underdogs in Berkeley County, and ensure every dog has their fair chance at adoption despite heartworm status. Partnering with a local veterinarian that has offered to donate her time, Berkeley Animal Center has been given the opportunity to treat their HW+ dogs at a fraction of the usual cost - only $200/dog that will cover their life-saving medication.
Just this week, 4 new heartworm positive dogs were entered into the shelter system - and each of them will need a foster home and treatment before they can be adopted out - just like Priscilla. This is where we need the community to help us... we cannot save these lives without foster homes and monetary donations to cover treatment costs.
✴️ To become a Heartworm Hero Foster, please visit the shelter Tuesday through Saturday between 1pm and 5pm. This is a 2-3 month commitment with all supplies and medical care provided. There are dogs of all ages and sizes that currently need treatment. Bring any dogs or kids in the home to ensure a good fit.
✴️ To help us cover treatment costs for the several dogs both already in a foster home and still waiting for one, please click the Facebook donation button below. Every dollar counts and goes directly toward saving the life of a dog at Berkeley Animal Center.
We would love to raise atleast $1000 to cover Priscilla and the 4 dogs that came off of stray hold this week. Please help us!
