Let’s take a moment to thank the silent heroes who work every day to protect and care for animals in our communities — our Animal Care & Control officers. Their compassion and dedication make a huge difference in the lives of so many animals (and people)!

This week, honor them by doing something extra special: adopt your new best friend from one of our local animal control shelters. There are so many loving, adoptable dogs waiting for a second chance.

EMERGENCY PLEA – LIVES AT STAKE  Berkeley County Animal Control is FULL.
The kennels are at maximum capacity, and unless adoptions happen soon, they will be forced to make heartbreaking decisions no one wants to see happen.

Please help.

So many loving, deserving dogs are sitting behind those shelter walls, waiting for someone to see them, to give them a second chance, to love them when they’ve known so little of it. They are not in our care, but they still need us—they need you.

These dogs need patience, love, and time. Some are scared. Some are confused. But every one of them just wants to feel safe. Please consider adopting, fostering, or simply sharing this post to help us reach someone who might.

Visit. Adopt. Share. Help us save lives.

***** The dogs pictured below are available directly through BCAC. If you’re interested in any of them, or just want to learn more, please call or visit Berkeley County Animal Control. They can answer your questions and help you find your new best friend.**

Even one share could help a dog find a home.
Even one visit could mean a life spared.
Please… open your heart before it’s too late.

Aspen (left) and River (right),  they are allegedly Heeler/Hound/Labrador mixes. They are around 16 weeks old. These two are very sweet, but need some work on socialization and basic obedience. Our understanding is they lived in the woods and were left to their own devices prior to going to MCAC. They can be a little scared and unsure, but we don't blame them!  

It is imperative at this point in their lives that they receive proper socialization, training, and positive exposure. Preferably sooner rather than later!

Unfortunately MCAC do not have the resources to give these puppies the one on one care and attention they need to thrive. A shelter environment is stressful and scary, especially for young puppies that are already anxious and fearful. 

At this point, they will consider short-term foster homes if they cannot find appropriate adopters or rescue commitments. These guys need out of the shelter so they can learn how to be "normal" dogs and go on to live healthy and happy lives! 

They are VERY food motivated! They have received their initial vaccines (DAPPLV2 and rabies) and will be spayed an neutered late September/early October. 

If you're an adopter interested in adding one of these guys to your family, please reach out! If you're a rescue or short-term foster willing to help, call MCAC now!
