My story

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

Meet Nell,

She's currently in the Adoption Ambassador Foster Program. Foster families take dogs that are available for adoption into their homes and try to get them adopted. This is what her foster family is saying about her: Nell is a 3 1/2 year old female hound mix around 42 pounds. Nell came to the shelter as a stray and found the whole shelter experience to be very overwhelming, so she moved out to a foster home where her foster family has only wonderful things to say about her. Although Nell is very shy at first, she eventually warms up to people and has the most perfect house manners. She is potty trained, never chews on anything, gets along with other dogs in the home, sleeps quietly all night, and can be trusted to behave well without needing to be kept in a crate when home alone. However Nell is going to need to find the right family to adopt her, because she is very nervous and shy. She likes a calm and quiet home, and when there are strangers in the house who she hasn't gotten to know yet, she tends to go off and isolate herself. Active kids really aren't her thing, so she'd do best in a quiet home without young children. If Nell can find an adopter who will be patient in getting to know her and introduce her to new people, and can give her a calm and loving environment, she'll be just an amazing forever friend. She is heartworm positive, so Charleston Animal Society will provide her treatment at no cost to her adopter.

More about this shelter

Charleston Humane Society was founded in Charleston and received a state charter in 1874. Its immediate concerns were to combat the rampant cruelty to animals. This included the neglect of work-animals, the inhumane shipping of cattle, and the epidemic of stray dogs.

In 1940, the Society adopted the name of its early Board President, John Ancrum, honoring a contribution made from his estate.

We then changed our name to Charleston Animal Society to better reflect our location and what we do!

During the mid-1900's, the organization worked to outlaw cruel animal "sports". One such example was gander pulling which involved a horseback rider tearing the head from a live goose while racing full speed. The society also campaigned successfully to improve the abominable conditions of the city-operated dog pound.

A Safe Haven

The society continued to work toward a more humane environment to house abandoned animals and permanent homes. In 1948, private funds were raised to open the first animal shelter on Meeting Street. As the pet population grew, other sites followed. Volunteers managed the operation of these facilities and local veterinarians donated their services.
Charleston Animal Society assumed residency at its Leeds Avenue location in 1981. This first-class facility reflected a long and cooperative partnership between the agency and Charleston County Council. Upon completion of the shelter, the county terminated its own animal pound and contracted with the SPCA to provide care for all of the animals collected by animal control officers. With the communities help, in 2008,we moved into our current shelter which is State of the Art. A 31,000 sq ft of lifesaving space , a high volume AAHA accredited spay-neuter clinic and amazing animal services sheltering facility.
The Charleston Animal Society continues to fight animal cruelty, find safe homes for unwanted, injured or abandoned animals and reduce pet overpopulation.
Your Support is Needed to Continue this Tradition of Care and Commitment to Excellence. Help us alleviate suffering and adopt a shelter pet today.
