Cream is ready for a rescue story. ❤️🐾

Cream recently got the chance to trade the shelter for the great outdoors during a Doggy Day Out with an avid hiker. The plan? An 11-mile adventure! Mother Nature had other plans, though.

Between the weather and fallen trees, they had to cut the trip short. But Cream still got to enjoy some fresh air, explore new surroundings and, most importantly, show off personality in some pretty great photos and videos.

Now, Cream is hoping the next adventure is a little more permanent.

Could you be the one to write Cream's rescue story?

Meet Cream at the Horry County Animal Care Center!🏡❤️

🐾 DID YOU SEE US ON GOOD MORNING CAROLINAS?

Somebody get Eeyore an agent because this puppy is FAMOUS!

For the first time ever, the Horry County Animal Care Center was featured on WPDE ABC15 Wednesday Pet of the Week segment! Sydney Madison introduced Eeyore and Deputy Chief Wyatt, and now we’re hoping this little TV star finds his forever home.

At around 4 months old, Eeyore has the perfect mix of puppy energy and sweet manners. He loves to play, gets along great with other dogs, listens well and is a loving, easygoing little guy.

He’s got the looks, the personality AND the TV debut. What more could you want?!

Now he just needs his leading role in a forever family’s life.

Help us get Eeyore adopted! Contact the Horry County Animal Care Center to learn more about bringing this little celebrity home.

Give a Shelter Dog a Day to Remember! 🐶💛

Our Doggy Day Out Program gives volunteers and foster families the chance to take shelter dogs on a fun, one-day adventure. These special outings help dogs decompress, reduce stress, enjoy new experiences, and show off their personalities to potential adopters.

One day of adventure, and a whole lot of love can make a BIG difference for a shelter dog!

Shiloh loved his day out.❤️

Meet Shiloh:
7 years old
Male
Hound mix
38 lbs.
Dog friendly

Shiloh makes friends easily and has a calm, quiet personality. He’s a wonderful, medium-sized guy who could be just right for someone looking for a companion who isn’t overly hyper, or difficult to manage on walks.

Worried about a dog being too big or strong for you to handle? Shiloh may be your perfect match! He offers a great middle ground—not too big, not too small, and just the right amount of laid-back charm.

Shiloh is heartworm positive, but his treatment is sponsored, so his new family will not need to pay for his heartworm medicine. Will you give this gentle boy a chance and end Shiloh's shelter stay?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

Meet Secret! She's a 3½ years old, 45 lbs., Black Mouth Cur.

The shelter environment was overwhelming for Secret; she was unable to relax or rest. Thanks to Salty Dog Senior Rescue's sponsorship, Secret has been in a foster home, where she has received the training, patience, and support she needs. ❤️

A little about Secret:
Loves to play!
🏡 Needs a securely fenced backyard where she can safely enjoy her space.
Does well with small, calm dogs.
Large male dogs make her uncomfortable.
Isn't ready for busy outings or walks just yet.
Can stay home alone with an appropriate chew.

Secret needs a special person who will let her blossom at her own pace. She does best with someone who uses a gentle voice and embraces positive, reward-based training using toys, food, and play. Her trainer is willing to continue providing support, including in-home sessions, to help make the transition into her forever home as smooth as possible. 🏡

Could you be the safe, loving home Secret has been waiting for?

Meet Sissy
1 years old
Female, Labrador Retriever Mix
dog-friendly
Healthy

Sweet Sissy was surrendered to the shelter after living with a family, that included children. Now, this loving girl is trying to make sense of a life that has suddenly changed.💔

At just ONE YEAR OLD, Sissy has already gone from her mother and littermates, to a home and family, and now to life in a shelter. Can you imagine how confusing and heartbreaking that must be?

Sissy is healthy, affectionate, calm, and patient with children. The shelter is not where Sissy belongs. A loving home is. 🏡Could Sissy be the missing piece of your family or perhaps for someone you know? Can you be the one to end Sissy's shelter stay?

❤️Meet Ares
a 3-year-old
60-pound boy

He deserves so much better than the hand life has dealt him.

We know Ares was dumped and picked up by a shelter, from reading his microchip. Sadly, someone adopted him, only to abandon him again. This time, he was found here in Horry County.
But heartbreakingly, that’s not not the worst part of the story.
Before Ares was found, he had been shot in the shoulder.
He’s healing and, incredibly, he is a happy goof ball who enjoys playing with staff and other dogs.

Ares' capacity for love and joy are bulletproof.
🏠His next home needs to be his forever home, he needs an owner as loving and loyal as he is.
If you could be that person contact us about adopting Ares❤️
