There’s no friend like a furry friend. 🐶

For those in need of a new four-legged companion, we’ve compiled a list of animal adoption centers + rescues around the Charleston area that have plenty of dogs and cats in need of forever homes. However, we know that caring for a pet is a big time commitment. Luckily, there are several ways to support these local shelters besides simply adopting – check out the links to their websites + social media platforms to learn more about each center and find out how you can help today. 🐱
