When Beulah 🐈 arrived at our shelter, this gentle senior girl looked like she had carried the weight of years of neglect on her tiny shoulders. She came in with a single mat so large it covered her entire back — a painful reminder of how long she’d been suffering. 💔 (Check out the photo 📸 see the mat we removed.)

Despite everything, Beulah never stopped purring. 🐱 We immediately started her on medications, special food, and the TLC she’d gone without for years 📆. Slowly, her eyes brightened. Her body relaxed. And her spirit — the part no one could mat down — began to shine through again. 🌞

Today, on Giving Tuesday, Beulah is finally feeling comfortable, cared for, and safe… and she is ready for a home. 🏡

Your donations make stories📚 like hers possible. They fund the medical care, the grooming, the medication 💊, the special diets — all the things seniors like Beulah need to heal. 🩹

If you’re able, please consider donating today. You can help us say “yes” to the next neglected senior who walks through our doors. 💗

It’s the day after 📆… but the need hasn’t gone anywhere.

If you didn’t get a chance to donate yesterday, there’s still time to make a life-changing difference. 💗

Today, we want to share the story of two brothers 🐾🐾 who remind us exactly why your support matters: Sherlock and Holmes.

Sherlock and Holmes were discovered abandoned in a home 🏚 - left alone for days with no food, no care, and no one coming back for them. 💔 By the time they reached us, both boys were heartbreakingly emaciated. Their bodies were so depleted we couldn’t simply feed them normally 🍴; they needed a carefully monitored re-feeding plan to keep their organs safe and slowly rebuild their strength. 💪

And they fought.

Every tiny meal, every tail wag 🐕, every ounce gained—it all meant something.

Thanks to around-the-clock care 🕙, veterinary oversight 🩺, and a whole lot of love, Sherlock and Holmes recovered. Today, both are in wonderful forever homes 🏡, living the life they always deserved.

But their second chance was only possible because our community makes it possible.

If you haven’t donated yet, today is still a perfect day to help.

Your gift—no matter the size—helps us save the next Sherlock and the next Holmes who walks through our doors 🚪 needing urgent medical care, nutrition plans, and a safe place to land. 🛬

Donate today and keep the miracles coming. 🫶

Because healing doesn’t happen in one day… but it does start with one act of kindness. 🫂

He was just two days old when someone found him on the beach 🌊 — cold… soaked… visibly blue… and so still that it seemed his tiny life was already slipping away. No mother. No warmth. ❄️ No chance — or so it appeared.

But the moment he arrived at our shelter, everything changed. 💗

Our team wrapped his little body in heat 🔥, whispered to him to keep fighting, and placed him in the hands 🤲 of a foster mom who refused to let him fade. Hour after hour, she warmed him… fed him 🍼… willed him to live.

And Croissant did.
He chose life. ❤️‍🩹

Today, he is a bright-eyed, beautiful, playful kitten 🐈 — and the best part?

His foster mom, who held him through the darkest moments 🫶, has now adopted him forever. 🏡

Croissant is here because people cared. Because someone gave him a chance.

On this Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to help us save the next little life 🐾 that washes up in the world cold, alone, and needing hope. 🫂

💫 Please consider donating today. Together, we can create more miracles like Croissant. 💫

A few months ago 📆, 11 dogs were seized from a severe neglect situation within the city and brought into our care — even as our shelter was already stretched beyond capacity.
We didn’t have the space, but we had to make room. These dogs 🐕 had nowhere else to go, and they deserved safety.

They arrived frightened, skinny, and confused… 💔
All of them malnourished.
All of them crawling with fleas.
And one battling heartworms 🐛 on top of everything else.

Taking in eleven dogs at once is a massive undertaking 💪 for any shelter, let alone one already overflowing — eleven medical intakes, eleven mouths to feed 🍴, eleven broken spirits who needed stability, comfort, and time ⏳️ to understand that the worst was over. But we were committed to giving them that chance.

We are endlessly grateful 🫶 to the Myrtle Beach Police Department and our incredible Animal Control Officers 🚔 for their swift, compassionate action. Their dedication didn’t just remove these dogs from suffering — it gave them a future.

After weeks of care, recovery, and a court process 👩‍⚖️, we were awarded custody. And today, 9 of the 11 dogs have been adopted into loving homes 🏡 where they will never experience fear, hunger, or neglect again.

Two sweet pups 🐶 are still waiting for their forever family — waiting for the day someone chooses them and the healing they’ve started can finally be complete.

🌟🌟 This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your help. 🌟🌟

Because taking in 11 dogs at once isn’t just a challenge… it’s a promise.🤝 A promise that no matter how overwhelmed we are, we will always show up for the animals who have no one else. 💗

Arthur didn’t come to us because he was lost… he came to us because the world 🌎 had not been kind to him.

This feral boy was living in a neighborhood where people mistreated him. 💔 By the time he reached our care, his eye 👁 had ruptured from trauma, and he needed immediate surgery. 🩹 Releasing him back to the place he came from was never an option — it simply wasn’t safe for him.

But Arthur fought. 💪
And he healed. ❤️‍🩹
And slowly, he learned that not all humans mean harm. 🫂

With time, patience, and gentle reassurance, Arthur came out of his shell 🐚 and discovered trust again. And now — the part we are most grateful for — Arthur has finally been adopted into a home 🏡 where he will never be hurt again. His new family sees the survivor he is, and they’ve given him the safety and love he always deserved. 💗

✨ His journey is EXACTLY why Giving Tuesday matters. ✨

Every animal like Arthur comes with medical needs, emergency care, and a long road 🛣 toward healing.

Your donation today ensures we can keep saying “yes” to the vulnerable, the injured, the forgotten — and give them the chance to become someone’s beloved family member.

Thank you for helping us create stories like Arthur’s. ❤️🐾

Snow White 👑 first entered our shelter in 2016 — a young dog with a whole life ahead of her. Over the years 📆, she’s been in and out of our care, always through no fault of her own. Life just hasn’t dealt her the fairytale 🏰 she deserves.

Now, Snow White is a senior, and she has found herself back with us once again. 💔

And while we will always welcome her with open arms 🫂, a shelter is no place for an aging dog. Seniors crave soft blankets, quiet corners 🛋, gentle hands… not concrete floors and constant noise. 🔊

Senior dogs also come with senior needs:
✨ medications
✨ diagnostics
✨ arthritis support
✨ dental care
✨ ongoing monitoring
And Snow White deserves every bit of it.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising funds to make sure seniors like Snow White receive the medical care 🩺 they need while they wait — hopefully for the very last time — for a home 🏡 that won’t let them down.

Snow White has spent nearly a decade drifting in and out of our doors 🚪… but her story isn’t over. 📖

Let’s help her finally find her happily-ever-after. 💞

💫💫 You can’t put a price on a life — especially one who’s loved us for this long. 💫💫

When Princess Peach 🍑 was found, she was barely clinging to life.

She had been attacked by a dog 🐕 and left outside, alone and in pain, for two long days before someone finally discovered her. 🔎 Limp, cold, and silent, she was rushed to GSHS with almost no signs of life.

But our medical team 🩺 refused to give up.

Princess Peach was covered in deep, infected wounds. Her brain 🧠 was swollen. Her eyes 👁 were unfocused. She could not stand, could not eat, and could barely breathe. The antibiotics 💊 we started weren’t helping at first — and every hour felt like we might lose her.

Still, we pushed forward. 🙏

Every day brought a new challenge: a new infection, a new complication, a new reason to fight harder. And slowly, piece by piece, Princess Peach began to return to us. ❤️‍🩹 She took her first unsteady steps.👣 She began to regain vision in both eyes. She started seeking out gentle touch and soft voices.

She wasn’t just surviving — she was choosing to keep going.

For months 📆, she lived with one of our incredible medical fosters who provided true round-the-clock care. Hourly medications. Assisted feeding 🍴. Wound treatments. Mobility support. Endless love. 💞 Princess Peach’s recovery was not quick, simple, or easy — but it was possible because she never had to walk that road 🛣 alone.

And now?

Now she is a happy, healthy, adored young kitty living her very best life 🏡 with a family who cherishes every inch of her brave little heart. 💗

🌟🌟 This is the impact of your support. 🌟🌟

On Giving Tuesday, your generosity makes it possible for us to say “yes” to animals like Princess Peach — the ones who need intensive care, time, and hope that many shelters simply cannot provide.

When Manny first came through our doors 🚪, he was a ghost of the dog he was meant to be — emaciated, neglected, and left outside 24/7 with no one to call his own. 💔 His body was fragile, but his spirit… that tiny spark 🔥 was still there, waiting for someone to see it.

That someone was his foster. 🏡

With warmth, food, patience, and the kind of love that changes everything, Manny began to bloom. 🌻 And once he realized he was safe? Oh, Manny went full ham. 💨

We’re talking couch-hogging, tail-thumping, goofy-grinning, “let me get one more belly rub” HAM. 🥰

Today he’s healthy, chunky, spoiled, deeply adored — and living the life he always deserved.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising funds so more dogs like Manny get their chance to go from forgotten… to unforgettable.

Because you can’t put a price on a life transformed. ❤️‍🩹

Some animals come into our care and remind us why we never give up. Fitz is one of them.

When Fitz first arrived at our shelter, he was fragile, in pain, and in desperate need of help. 🩺 What followed were multiple procedures, surgeries, and thousands of dollars in medical bills—each step critical to giving him a fighting chance.

But through every poke 💉, treatment, and hospital stay, Fitz never stopped purring. He greeted every caregiver with gentle head bumps 🐈 and trusted us completely, even when he had every reason to be scared. His kind, patient disposition inspired us daily. Fitz never gave up—so neither did we. 💪

Today, Fitz is healing, loved, and finally getting the comfort he always deserved. ❤️‍🩹 But his journey has placed an enormous strain on our medical fund.

We’re asking for your help 🙏 so we can continue saying “yes” to animals like Fitz. Every donation—big or small—directly supports lifesaving care for animals who have nowhere else to turn. ❤️

✨ If Fitz has touched your heart, please consider making a contribution today. Together, we can make sure his story is just one of many happy endings. ✨

When Yuki arrived at GSHS as a tiny puppy, something was terribly wrong. He was having repeated, violent seizures — one after another — and we had no idea if he would survive long enough for answers. 💔

We rushed him to the ER 🩺, preparing ourselves for the possibility no one ever wants to face.
Was he poisoned?
Was it toxoplasmosis?
Distemper?
Something else entirely?

No one knew. We only knew we had to try.

The ER team worked urgently to stabilize him, and by some miracle, Yuki pulled through the first critical hours. 🙏 Once he was strong enough to be transferred back to us, we continued aggressive support: seizure medication, monitoring, and true round-the-clock 🕙 care.

Every tiny improvement felt like a victory. 🏆
Every quiet hour without a seizure felt like a gift. 🎁

Once Yuki was stable enough, he was placed in a foster home 🏡 where he could continue healing in a calm, loving environment. And it didn’t take long for that foster to realize something important:

They couldn’t imagine 💭 their home without him.

Yuki was home — for good. 💗

Today, Yuki is living his very best life.
He hasn’t had a seizure in months. 📆
He is playful, safe, adored, and fully embraced by the family who first agreed to “just foster.”

💥💥 This is the power of giving animals a chance. 💥💥

On this Giving Tuesday, your generosity allows us to fight for the Yukis of the world 🌏 — the fragile, the sick, the uncertain cases, the babies who need immediate medical intervention and a team who refuses to give up. 💪

✨ Your donation today provides emergency care when it matters most.
✨ Your compassion turns fear into hope — and hope into forever.

From Yuki, and every animal waiting for their miracle… thank you for believing in second chances. ❤️‍🩹
