End Unecessary Euthanasia
We can't preach it enough: have your pets spayed and neutered. Below are three pages of facts and information about spaying and neutering your pets.
The Spay/Neuter Alliance and Clinic in Ridgeland, SC is the area's only low-cost spay/neuter clinic. SNAC offers free transport from 10 counties in Georgia and South Carolina. SNAC also offers heartworm and FIV/FeLV testing and some shots. Give them a call at 843-645-2500 to schedule appointments for your pets.
Hurricane Preparations for Your Pets
We take for granted that our area has escaped the wrath of hurricanes since 1979. But if we were forced to evacuate, would you be prepared for your pets? Read our evacuation preparation article written by Coastal Pet Rescue president and founder Lisa Scarbrough after she made the evacuation for Hurricane Floyd in 1999 with four cats, two dogs and a bird.
Educate Yourself
Learn Something New Every Day
You've been a pet parent for years but can't explain why your old dog doesn't like your new kitten. Or maybe you've brought a pet home for the first time and don't know why your unneutered pet won't stop marking every doorway of your house. Learn some solutions to these problems and more by browsing our educational resources pages.
Microchipping Saves Lives
If your pet found its way to the local animal control, would he be able to tell them where home is? Probably not. Don't let your family pet get added to the euthanasia rates. Visit one of our quarterly microchip clinics and have your pet permanently identified for only $10. Chips are 24PetWatch technology and may be read by any scanner.
