🐾 Adoption Event — 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM 🐾

We’re excited to be part of this wonderful event! The Whitewater Center is partnering with shelters and rescues across the Charlotte region to help pets find loving homes and improve the lives of animals in our community.

🐾 Christmas Magic at the Shelter 🐾🎄

Yesterday, every animal in our care, including those in foster, received a Christmas gift, thanks to the love and generosity of this community from the Angel Tree donations. Watching tails wag, noses boop, and whiskers twitch with excitement is the best gift of all. ❤️

We are also excited to share that our 2025 live-outcome status has been calculated, so let’s take a look back:

📊 Live-Outcome Success Over the Years
(Including feral cat TNR returns beginning in 2023)
2022 ~91%
2023 ~93%
2024 ~92%
2025 ~93% 🎉

Even as Chester County grows, your support, along with spay/neuter, TNR, rescue partners, adopters, fosters, and volunteers, has helped us keep live-outcome rates strong and steady. And soon, our new shelter—located on a beautiful 24-acre site off Industrial Boulevard in Chester SC, designed to safely welcome the public, will allow us to connect people and pets in our community like never before.

Thank you for being part of their story. Every like, share, donation, and adoption makes a difference.

✨ Here’s to full bellies, warm beds, and wagging tails in 2026. ✨

We have some last minute surgery spots tomorrow! If you have FERAL cats needing to be spayed/neutered bring them in tomorrow morning!

New Year. Same Mission. 🎉

Powered by accountability, compassion, and community support, 2026 can be a year of real change for animals in Chester County. Together, we can stop the cycle and save lives. 🐾❤️

Let’s reflect together:

📊 Shelter Intake Snapshot

2024 – 580 total animals
• 296 dogs (153 puppies)
• 46 cats | 73 kittens

2025 – 631 total animals
• 310 dogs (147 puppies)
• 82 cats | 89 kittens

As Chester County continues to grow, so does the demand for animal services. While rescue partnerships and strong community support help offset intake, the need remains, and prevention is the key to long-term progress.

By continuing to offer access to affordable spay and neuter services with our 2026 veterinary partners, we’re working to stop the cycle before animals ever need shelter care. With continued community involvement and responsible pet ownership, we can do even better together.

This is how real change begins. 🐾

🐾🎉We’re kicking off the year with compassion in action, our first TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) event of the year!

TNR helps reduce stray cat populations humanely, prevents unwanted litters, and keeps community cats healthier and safer. It’s a small step that makes a BIG difference for animals and our community.

✨ Thank you to everyone who supports responsible, humane animal care. Together, we’re building a kinder future for animals in Chester County.
