Meet Mellie - She is a sweet girl who is timid and cautious at first, but has grown to be a happy, spunky, and curious pup in her foster home. She loves her foster brother pups, running zoomies in the yard, and every comfy spot she finds. She loves treats, but isn’t good at sharing food with other dogs just yet. She is just coming out of her shell and learning to trust that the world and people aren’t always scary. She has earned the “Velcro” dog title with her foster mom. She is always excited to follow along and see what’s going on. She likes her foster dad, but he has had to work a little harder to gain Mellie’s trust. Once she is comfortable, Mellie is catching up on being a puppy. She loves tossing toys around, wrestling with her foster dog brother, running circles in the yard, and taking long naps once she has worn herself out. She will need some basic training, but is fully potty trained, knows her name, sleeps in her doggie bed through the night, and knows “come”, and sometimes remembers “sit” and “stay”. Her foster cat friend doesn’t enjoy Mellie’s spunky attempts to play, so Mellie may do best in a cat free home. She will do great in a patient, quiet, routine home with people who will love, cuddle, and teach her new things. She would also LOVE a doggie sibling to help her see how fun the world can be.

Charleston Humane Society was founded in Charleston and received a state charter in 1874. Its immediate concerns were to combat the rampant cruelty to animals. This included the neglect of work-animals, the inhumane shipping of cattle, and the epidemic of stray dogs.
In 1940, the Society adopted the name of its early Board President, John Ancrum, honoring a contribution made from his estate.
We then changed our name to Charleston Animal Society to better reflect our location and what we do!
During the mid-1900's, the organization worked to outlaw cruel animal "sports". One such example was gander pulling which involved a horseback rider tearing the head from a live goose while racing full speed. The society also campaigned successfully to improve the abominable conditions of the city-operated dog pound.
A Safe Haven
The society continued to work toward a more humane environment to house abandoned animals and permanent homes. In 1948, private funds were raised to open the first animal shelter on Meeting Street. As the pet population grew, other sites followed. Volunteers managed the operation of these facilities and local veterinarians donated their services.
Charleston Animal Society assumed residency at its Leeds Avenue location in 1981. This first-class facility reflected a long and cooperative partnership between the agency and Charleston County Council. Upon completion of the shelter, the county terminated its own animal pound and contracted with the SPCA to provide care for all of the animals collected by animal control officers. With the communities help, in 2008,we moved into our current shelter which is State of the Art. A 31,000 sq ft of lifesaving space , a high volume AAHA accredited spay-neuter clinic and amazing animal services sheltering facility.
The Charleston Animal Society continues to fight animal cruelty, find safe homes for unwanted, injured or abandoned animals and reduce pet overpopulation.
Your Support is Needed to Continue this Tradition of Care and Commitment to Excellence. Help us alleviate suffering and adopt a shelter pet today.
