What to do if you find an animal after hours

 

If the animal is friendly and in good health: and you can keep it overnight in a safe area, please do so and bring it to the Charleston Animal Society the following day. They have a full medical staff and will ensure the animal is scanned for a microchip. If no owner can be located, it will be put up for adoption. Alternatively, you can take the animal to your local police station or vet’s office and they will scan for a microchip.

If the animal is injured or you do not feel comfortable having it in your home, please take it to the Charleston Veterinary Referral Center located at: 3484 Shelby Ray Ct, Charleston, SC 29414. They are open 24/7 all year round.
