My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Monk is not everyone’s “type,” and that’s probably why he’s still here-but let’s talk about what he is.

As a youngster, he bounced from home to home before being dumped in the middle of the road, survived that, then waited at the shelter only to endure a hurricane that sent a tree crashing down onto his kennel and completely destroying it-with him inside-and yes, he survived that too. Along the way he’s lost 19 teeth, one toe, and undergone CCL surgery, healed up, and kept going like it’s just another Tuesday.

Monk looks like life has happened to him because it has, and yet he is still here, still standing, still waiting. He’s quirky, unconventional, a little rough around the edges, and entirely real-the kind of dog who doesn’t need perfection, just a person. After surviving abandonment, natural disaster, surgery, and years of being overlooked, he should not spend another season in a kennel. Monk has done enough surviving. It’s time for him to go home.

More about this shelter

CCA was founded in 1980 by a small group of individuals dedicated to helping animals. Since then, our group has grown to include a small shelter. Our group's mission is varied: to maintain a shelter for abandoned, sick or injured animals; to adopt out dogs and cats to loving permanent homes; to provide for their animals low-cost spay/neuter assistance to families who lack the means to pay; and to strive to prevent and to stop abuse and/or neglect of an animal.

We are always in need of volunteers! If you are interested in becoming a part of our group, please let us know by calling 864.243.4222. We'd be glad to have you on board!
