Update: We have found someone to give Lovely a wonderful end of life home!

Lovely Needs a Fospice Home ❤️

Recently, Lovely underwent diagnostics that revealed cancer, and sadly, we believe it has spread to her lungs. While we don’t know exactly how much time she has left, we do know one thing: she deserves to spend whatever time she has remaining surrounded by love, comfort, and kindness not in a shelter kennel.

Lovely is looking for a fospice home where she can enjoy soft beds, belly rubs, tasty treats, and the simple joys of being someone’s beloved companion. We will provide medical support and guidance; we just need someone willing to open their heart and home to a dog who deserves to know she is loved every single day.

This is one of the hardest asks we make, but it is also one of the most important. Giving a dog comfort and dignity at the end of their journey is an incredible gift.

If you can help Lovely, please contact us as soon as possible. Even if you can’t foster, sharing her story could help us find the person she’s been waiting for.

Let’s make sure Lovely’s remaining days are filled with love. ❤️

Three years.

For three years, Fiona has watched other dogs come and go while she waited for someone to choose her.

Recently, Fiona finally got a chance to leave the shelter and settle into a foster home—and she has been absolutely thriving. Her foster reports that she is house-trained with no accidents, non-destructive when left alone, and an easy, wonderful companion to have around. She loves car rides and, most of all, loves to snuggle.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, her foster family can no longer keep her, and Fiona urgently needs somewhere to go.

The shelter is especially hard on Fiona. She tends to shut down in the kennel environment, making it difficult for potential adopters to see the sweet dog she truly is. We desperately want to keep her from having to return to that life if possible.

Fiona needs to be the only pet in the home, but she has so much love to give and deserves a family of her own after waiting for so long.

If you've ever considered fostering or adopting, please consider Fiona. After three years of waiting, we would love nothing more than to see her finally get the happy ending she deserves.

Please contact us if you can foster or adopt Fiona, or share this post to help us find her person.

Foster Friday!!

Meet Sander and Sailor! This bonded duo is the perfect mix of goofy and sweet. They’re play addicts, treat enthusiasts, and total dog fans. They’ll zoom around the house, chase toys, and then trot over for pets when they’re in a snuggly mood. Just don’t try to pick them up — they prefer keeping all four paws on the ground. If you want cats who love you but also love doing their own thing, these two will steal your heart.

Apply to adopt by visiting www.grandstrandhumanesociety.com

🐾 Your new best friend is waiting… and we’re officially out of space. 💔

Our shelter at Grand Strand Humane Society is beyond full right now, and we desperately need adopters + fosters. Like… these dogs are literally ready to become someone’s entire personality trait. 🐶
No but seriously:
We are OUT of room.
And while the dogs are safe, loved, and cared for, shelters were never meant to be forever homes. Every dog that leaves the shelter opens space for another animal who needs help.
Some of these dogs have:
✨ “golden retriever boyfriend” energy
✨ certified couch goblin credentials
✨ zoomies that cure depression
✨ sidekick energy for your hot girl walks
You could be:
– their first safe home
– their first couch
– their first family
– the reason they get a second chance 🥺
Can’t adopt long term? Foster.
Even a temporary sleepover helps save lives and gives these pups a break from shelter stress.
So here’s the deal:
🐾 adopt a dog
🐾 foster a dog
🐾 send this to the friend who keeps saying “I want a dog so bad”
🐾 help us clear the shelter and save more animals

The shelter is full, but we know this community’s heart is bigger. Let’s get these babies home. 🐾

To apply to adopt or foster any of these beautiful babies please come to the shelter at 3241 Mr joe white Avenue Friday through Tuesday from 12-6 and fill out an application or the apps are also available on our website grandstrandhumanesociety.com!

Apply to adopt Basil 🌱 by visiting www.grandstrandhumanesociety.com!! 💗

And THANK YOU to the amazing team at Dog Boarding at the Beach for fostering our beautiful pups 🐕 and getting them out of the shelter until they find a forever home!! 🏡

🐾💦 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗: 𝗦𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 (𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗟) 💦🐾

Meet Basil. Foster dog. Absolute Menace. Six sprinklers deep into the season and not even a little bit ashamed.

Basil is still learning impulse control with water. What that means in practice is that every sprinkler we set out for the dogs to play in has met its fate at the paws of one very enthusiastic boy. We need replacement sprinklers so ALL the dogs can keep cooling off this summer! Link below (in Comments) to donate one — or ten, we're not proud.

𝐎𝐑 —𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 — 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗣𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗟.

Take him home. Two birds, one stone. Your yard, your sprinklers, your journey. We believe in you.

He's good with kids, good with other dogs, and GREAT at hydro-engineering demolition. He just needs his forever family to channel that passion somewhere slightly less expensive.

🙏 THANKFUL THURSDAY 🙏

Looking 👀 for another amazing local non-profit to support (besides GSHS of course)?! Look no further...

Fur Ever Home Cat Sanctuary is a wonderful group that takes in cats 🐈 who would not thrive in traditional home environments. They provide them with a safe space, plenty of food 🍗 and as much affection as they might want. 😉

They have taken in several feral and semi-feral cats from GSHS who were unable to be returned to their original location. 📍 Without them, the only options for these beautiful creatures would have been euthanasia (not an acceptable outcome for us) or a life in a steel cage (also unacceptable).

Fur Ever Home Cat Sanctuary is a small rescue with fewer followers and lately they have struggled just to bring in enough funds 💰 for food and emergency medical care. 🩺 We know our supporters have enough room in their heart 💗 to love and support another great group!

We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and support in our lifesaving mission. Please check out their page and give them a follow or consider supporting them using the link below! ⬇️
