Rehome Your Pet
We understand pet owners will be in a position where they must find a new home for their pets. As the only animal shelter in Berkeley County, we do provide the service of taking in owner surrenders when we have the space to do so.
The shelter should be your last resort when it comes to rehoming your pet. Shelters are a very stressful place for pets. Most owned pets show great signs of stress when entering the shelter environment. Keeping your pet at home until you can find a new home for him or her is in the best of interest of your pet.
If you are able to keep your pet for a little while longer but ultimately cannot keep them, try these:
