Charleston Animal Society

Since 1874, our mission has been THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
YOUR Charleston Animal Society is celebrating 150 years of protecting animals.

From hamsters to horses, the Animal Society provides compassionate care to over 20,000 animals each year. In addition to caring for homeless animals, from hamsters to horses, adopting them into new homes, and reuniting the lost with their families, the organization responds to animals in crisis as a result of both man-made and natural disasters. The comprehensive shelter medicine program not only

provides direct services for as many as 1,200 animals in our system of care at one time, the shelter veterinarians also spay or neuter upwards of 10,000 dogs and cats each year and they provide emergency medical services to critically ill and injured animals arriving at the shelter daily. For more information, visit www.CharlestonAnimalSociety.org.

We're looking for amazing marketers just like YOU!

Your Charleston Animal Society is currently overwhelmed with large dogs (40 lbs+) aged one year and older. There are currently more than 570 animals in our care, with many deserving dogs at risk of being overlooked by potential adopters.

The Animal Society is offering a $150 Visa Gift Card to anyone who can host a large adult dog in their home and help find them a safe and loving home by Saturday, November 30th.

Email [email protected] to get involved today or visit us at 2455 Remount Road in North Charleston from 12-3 PM Weekdays and 10-5 PM weekends.
