August is Clear the Shelters Month, and here at Charleston Dog Walker, we’re proud to support the incredible animal welfare organizations and Charleston pet shelters that make our community a better place for animals.
As a company built on caring for pets, we know how important our local Charleston pet shelters are. Every day, they provide love, safety, and second chances to animals in need—and they rely on our community to keep going strong. From providing food and medical care to spay/neuter services and comfy cat trees, every donation makes a real difference.
Whether you’re passionate about adoptions, fostering, or simply want to help from afar, here are a few amazing Charleston-based organizations you can support this month:
🐶 Charleston Animal Society
As South Carolina’s first animal protection organization (founded in 1874!), they’ve been part of our community longer than most Charleston families. Their no-turn-away policy means every local animal gets a chance. Many of our regular clients discovered their best friends at this amazing pet shelter.
🐱 Pounce Cat Cafe
A unique Charleston gem where you can actually spend time with adoptable cats from Charleston Animal Society. Perfect for families considering adding a feline friend – and you can meet them while enjoying a drink!
🛒 View their Amazon Wish List via Instagram or drop off cat food, litter, toys, or trees directly at the café.
🐾 Pet Helpers
A Lowcountry nonprofit and no-kill animal shelter dedicated to ending euthanasia of adoptable pets. They offer adoption, low-cost spay/neuter, and advocate for animal welfare.
