to animals. Thanks to supporters like you, we are able to touch the lives of 20,000
animals every year and work every day to make Charleston not only a No Kill Community
but also a humane community that is safe for families, including pets. Our Vision is one

About Pethelpers:
Pet Helpers was founded in 1978 by Carol Linville, now President of Pet Helpers,
after she learned that 8,000 pets were being euthanized each year at local shelters. It
began as a weekly “adopt a pet” column. More than 30 years later, that column has grown
into Pet Helpers Adoption Center and Veterinary Clinic, one of the foremost animal
rescue organizations in South Carolina. Pet Helpers has slowly evolved into a widely
recognized and innovative shelter that offers caring solutions to the serious problems
created by pet overpopulation. Visit them here: https://pethelpers.org/
