Charleston, SC-based outreach program focused on providing basic care to animals in need & trapping lost and stray animals
We are a grassroots community outreach program focused on providing preventative medicine and basic care to animals in need in the Charleston area. We also work to trap stray and lost animals in order to get them to safety, and to trap feral cats in order to have them vaccinated and neutered before releasing them back into the community. If you would like to support our mission, please follow us on social media and share our page as we continue to grow!
What We Do
Lost & Stray Dog Trapping
Despite the challenges, the intrinsic rewards of reuniting lost pups with their families or helping stray ones find new families make every effort worthwhile.
Basic Care Necessities
We believe cost should not impede anyone’s ability to care for their animals.
Why We Do It
How To Help
How to file a report of animal cruelty/neglect
Charleston County Animal Control: (843) 743-7200
Currently, Animal Control works M-F 9am-5pm. If you call during normal business hours, they will handle your call that day. If you call after hours, dispatch will provide Animal Control with the information to follow up the next day. Please always ask dispatch for a case number and request that animal control call you back when they have followed up!
If it is an emergency situation, please call 911 and provide as much information as you can in order to help officers respond accordingly. YOU CAN BE KEPT ANONYMOUS IF YOU WISH.

What to do if you find an animal after hours:
If the animal is friendly and in good health: and you can keep it overnight in a safe area, please do so and bring it to the Charleston Animal Society the following day. They have a full medical staff and will ensure the animal is scanned for a microchip. If no owner can be located, it will be put up for adoption. Alternatively, you can take the animal to your local police station or vet’s office and they will scan for a microchip.
If the animal is injured or you do not feel comfortable having it in your home, please take it to the Charleston Veterinary Referral Center located at: 3484 Shelby Ray Ct, Charleston, SC 29414. They are open 24/7 all year round.
If you want to do more for animals:
Volunteer with us – We are always looking for volunteers to help transport across Charleston County! If you want to help, please email, call, or text us.
Our wish list – We collect donations all year round for items like: cat food, dog food, gently used toys and bedding, food and water bowls, leashes and collars, unused flea/tick preventatives
Foster – There are so many local shelters and rescues in constant need of foster homes (us included!) in order to keep saving animals. Consider opening your home (and your heart) for an animal in need!
Volunteer for “Doggy Day Out” programs at local shelters – This is a wonderful way to give dogs a break from the stressful shelter environment and publicize them for adoption!
Donate to local rescues – We wouldn’t be able to survive without support from small rescues and programs like: No Trouble At All Animal Outreach, Southern Tails for Precious Paws Rescue, Libby and Mace’s Place Rescue, Rosie’s Rescue, Lowcountry Lab Rescue, Feral Cat Helpers, Carolina Coonhound Rescue, Lowcountry Animal Rescue, and others!
