π¨ OUR SITUATION REMAINS CRITICAL π¨
Due to the overwhelming need in our community, GSHS has been operating at well over double our capacity, often taking in animals in need of significant medical attention. The rising costs of medications, treatments, food and labor have crippled our operating funds.
We desperately need additional monthly donors so that we have sustainable income that we can depend on as we continue to take on these difficult cases.
Every day people tell us that they want to help the abused and abandoned animals here along the Grand Strand, but they just don't have space to take another pet home.
π₯π₯ THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP!!! π₯π₯
Your monthly donation will help ensure that GSHS is able to continue our mission to save these precious lives. Use this link below to become a lifesaving donor.

TOGETHER we WILL survive this difficult time. Better days are on the horizon and we know it is always darkest before the dawn. We are grateful for this community that has supported our mission for more than 50 years and our team will never stop fighting for these animals that cannot fight for themselves.
URGENT PLEA FOR HELP
Please, take a moment to listen to this urgent message from our Executive Director. We are facing a true crisis in operational funding and urgently need your support.

Bella and Bubbles foster says...
"You will never meet a more precious pair- Bella and Bubbles are my foster pups this week living the good life and looking for their forever family. They are a bonded pair available for adoption from Grand Strand Humane Society. Bella is about 6 or 7 and is an adorable wheaten terrier type who doesnβt shed, loves all people, and looks out for her Bubbles. They love to play and go for walks. Bella is very interested in bunnies, birds, and the possum under my porch π but mostly likes to lie on cool floor and gaze lovingly at bubbles and her human. Snuggles make her smile and wag her tail even more.
Bubbles is a playful pint sized ball of energy, probably some type of perfect schnauzer mix. She walks great on a leash and likes to keep the party moving forward even when Bella stops to sniff the roses. She knows her name and is more than happy to βcomeβ sitβ and βshakeβ. Donβt try to sneak away, she wants to be your shadow and doesnβt mind interrupting her naps to follow you. She loves tennis balls, treats, walks, and soft couches. She prefers to be with her human at all times but will rest in her crate.
They are both crate trained, house broken, limited shedding, and sleep through the night without any accidents. They would love a small yard to play, some short walks, and a human that likes to spend time with them. If that human is you please apply to give this pair the home they deserve. They donβt want to go back to the crowded noisy shelter even though they love their caretakers and volunteers."

π₯ #GivingTuesday fundraising request!! π₯
Late one afternoon, a women encountered a terrified, emaciated young dog, wandering through an empty parking lot, barely clinging to life. She spent hours coaxing the pup to her and finally got him into her car. Imagine how she felt when she called authorities and was told to leave the dog where she found it... she had just spent so long trying to save him.
Fortunately, she called Grand Strand Humane Society and despite being over capacity and out of resources, we said yes. How could we not? For years animal welfare organizations have begged community members to take action in situations like this. How can we refuse them the necessary support when they do as we've asked?
This angel arrived just as our team was getting ready to leave for the night. Our Shelter Manager and Veterinarian immediately dropped all of their belongings and got to work on saving this sweet boy's life. He was bathed, blow dried, given fluids and supplements and started on lifesaving medications. They named him Noah.
After a few days of intensive care, Noah was ready for a foster home. He needed to be kept on a very strict feeding schedule and several medications in order to continue the healing process. We over overjoyed at the progress he has made and are thrilled to announce that Noah is now ready to find his very own forever home!!
When you support GSHS with a #GivingTuesday donation today, you support lifesaving stories just like Noah's. We can't do it without YOU!!

ICYMI π Check out πΆ Elvis πΈ, our resilient, happy boy, embracing the rain with nothing but happiness in his heart! π₯°
This is the same brave dog who arrived at our shelter chained to another dog, yet he still greets each day with an infectious enthusiasm.
Elvis self-traumatized his feet due to the mental toll of being in the shelter. His feet are almost healed, and we are trying our hardest to avoid a repeat of this scenario and would like to get him into a forever home or medical foster.
How you can help:
π‘ Adopt (come meet him!)

Elvis is living proof that no matter what life throws your way, a little rain can't dampen a hopeful heart. π₯Ή

Elvis's story tugs at the heartstrings: this sweet boy arrived at our shelter chained βοΈ to another dog - yes, you heard that right. π€¬Despite six months in the shelter, he's shown us his courage. The stress, though, has been a heavy burden, leading to self-trauma, πcreating physical wounds that are now healing, much like his spirit.He's a little shy, a touch nervous with new faces, a reflection of his longing for stability and love. But beyond that initial reserve is a boundless capacity for affection, π a dog who's eager to show just how much love he can give.As Elvis embarks on his recovery journey, he leaps with hope. His ideal home π‘ is one filled with patience and gentle encouragement, where he can unravel his past and weave a new story.β° Time is of the essence. β° We *urgently* need to find Elvis a home where he can complete his healingβaway from the environment that reminds him of his past struggles. Every moment counts, and we would hate to see this cycle repeat.Will you be the hero πͺ in Elvis's story? Open your heart, offer him a place in your life, and watch as he transforms into the devoted and joyful companion we know he can be! Let's not make Elvis wait any longer; give him the loving tomorrow he deserves. #foreverhomeneeded #lookingforahome #rescuepittie #myrtlebeachpets #myrtlebeachdogs
