Silly boy, Yogurt 🍦 may not be the best cookie 🍪 catcher.. but he is arguably the very best cuddler. ❤️

Yogurt REALLY needs a foster home 🏡 because his skin infection (NOT contagious) is not getting better here in the shelter. 😞

Could you be Yogurt's hero?? 🦸‍♀️ We promise he will make you laugh every day!! 🥰

Text 860-944-3940 📲 if you can help!!

💫💫 UPDATE 07/15 💫💫

Ice is continuing to do well and seems to get stronger by the hour!! He is eating several small meals each day and has not vomited for more than 24 hours which is a HUGE victory!! It is truly amazing to see how loving and affectionate Ice is in spite of all he has been through.

While Ice is doing better each day, we recognize that he will have a long and difficult road to recovery. We are incredibly grateful to the folks at Southeast GSP Rescue for reaching out to us and offering to pull this sweet boy and place him in an experienced foster home. GSHS will transfer all remaining funds donated for Ice to Southeast GSP Rescue to be used specifically for his continued care. We have already fallen madly in love with this amazing pup and we know that transferring him to SEGSP Rescue is going to give him the best possible chance to flourish and live his very best life. Nobody deserves it more!

THANK YOU to each and every one of you who donated towards Ice's care, prayed for him and shared his story. He is alive today and able to take these next steps because of YOU. We continue to be humbled by the way this community steps up every time a precious animal is in need. It inspires us to continue saying YES every time we get a desperate phone call, like the one we received Friday night. YOU make this lifesaving mission of ours possible. Thank you.❤️

💥💥💥 UPDATE 07/13 💥💥💥

Ice seems stronger today and doctors are pleased with his progress! They will be repeating x-rays and bloodwork today to make sure everything is still moving in the right direction! As long as reports continue to be positive, we will be searching for a foster home for this sweet boy to continue his recovery in beginning Tuesday. Please text 860-944-3940 if you are interested in fostering!! (You must be comfortable giving medications and returning for follow up veterinary checks.)

This poor soul is currently fighting 💪 for his life at the ER and we are doing all that we can to help him survive.

When we received a call ☎️ late last night about this sweet boy (named Ice) who needed urgent help, we just couldn't say no. So far, Ice has been hospitalized on IV fluids and medications 💊, has received a lifesaving blood transfusion 🩸, xrays 🩻 and bloodwork.

The amazing team taking care of Ice is still trying to figure out the underlying cause of his poor condition. 💔 We are remaining positive and hopeful that this young doggo can have a long and healthy life ahead with a little help from his friends. 🎶

If you are able to contribute towards his care, we would be very grateful. ❤️ If you are unable to donate, please, say a little prayer 🙏 for this very sweet boy and send some positive energy 🫂 his way - he needs all of us cheering him on right now.

Donations can be made through this Facebook fundraiser or by using the link below ⬇️ for our Critical Care Fund. ❤️❤️

❤️STORM FOSTER UPDATE ❤️

We put out a desperate call for help—we needed fosters for 21 dogs to get them out of their outdoor kennels and into safe homes. Because of YOU, we didn’t just meet that goal… we crushed it.

35 dogs were welcomed into foster homes, giving them safety, love, and a much-needed break from shelter life.

Looking at the photos coming in from their foster families, it’s clear just how much this means to them—happy faces, wagging tails, and peaceful naps on soft couches. These pups aren’t just safe from the storm—they’re thriving.

We also know that many people reached out who we weren’t able to match with a dog today, but we are still in need of fosters beyond this storm. If you’re still interested in opening your home to a dog in need, we’d love to connect with you!

Moments like this remind us: fostering doesn’t just save lives during emergencies. It gives these animals a chance to decompress, show their true personalities, and learn the comforts of home. It changes everything for them.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for stepping up. You made a difference. ❤️

🚨🌪⛈🚨 21 TROPICAL STORM FOSTERS URGENTLY NEEDED!!! 🚨🌪⛈🚨

Ok folks, we will be honest... this storm snuck up on us and we did not expect it to be as strong as it will be when it passes over us.

We have 21 dogs 🐕 that live in outdoor kennels. 💔 While they have roofs and igloos, we **really** would love for them to be safe and dry indoors 🏡 during this storm. 🌬

Please text 📱 860-944-3940 ASAP if you can help!! We are hoping fosters can pick up by 6 PM tonight ⏰ and keep their foster dog until Monday afternoon.

💥💥 You do NOT need to have fostered before!! GSHS will supply everything you need for your foster!! 💥💥

‼️‼️ EMERGENCY CAT FOSTERS NEEDED ‼️‼️

We were contacted by a local rescue group that needs urgent help placing 16 cats. Their owner passed away, and the family plans to throw all of them outside this week if nobody steps in to help.

These cats have lived indoors their entire lives and will have no chance of survival if tossed outdoors. They will have no shelter, no source of food or water, no medical care... truly no chance. 💔

If you can help, please text 860-944-3940 for more information!!

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY!!

Help us keep our dogs cool this summer by sending a pup a cooling mat for their kennel!! If you've spent more than just a few minutes outside recently, you know how brutal this heat is! We are hoping these mats make our dogs a little more comfortable in this extreme weather!

All donations can be mailed to 3241 Mr. Joe White Ave, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577.

This is just an example of one cooling mat we found. It's not the only brand we would use, BUT for the safety of our pups, the mats can't contain gel, beads, or electrical wires. ❤️
