Review for CHARLESTON ANIMAL SOCIETY, North Charleston, SC, USA
I have been involved with the Charleston Animal Society since 2008 and have seen it grow from a small run down trailer location, to a state of the art shelter saving thousands of lives. The quality of life offerred to the animals in the shelter has improved and therefore the quality of animals that are adopted out has improved and it shows. They are saving lives and are on a mission to make Charleston a No Kill community. They need support as it has not been easy or inexpensive, but their employees and volunteers are simply amazing and love what they do for the abandoned and rescued animals in the community and that they bring in from major disasters, dog fighting breeders, and puppy mills. I got one of our dogs from them that was a rescue from a puppy mill and can't imagine my life without our little Chio and our 2 1/2 year old daughter loves her more than anything. Charleston Animal Society is an award winning organization in our community and prides itself in being a best in class organization.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Fund it better. It has the potential to do so much more, but lacks the resources to expand its very successful techniques to the rest of the region which is saddly euthanizing 60% or 70% of its animals compared to less than 20% at Charleston Animal Society. With more money, the sick and injured animals put down could be treated and the aggressive or untrained animals could be trained and made into adoptable pets for a loving family.
