NEWS AND SPECIAL EVENTS!
I have lived with big dogs and little dogs; currently share a kennel outside with a big old hound dog named Gracie. I am very loving, playful and great with adult’s children and other pets. Some would say I am cute. Being trained to use a leash I love to go on walks, ride in the car, and am willing to try the beach. I would really like to get a family to adopt me soon, of course a fenced in yard is a must.
Please call Christine at 843-764-2590 for more information.
Next adoption day on November 7th. Come see us there!
SPECIAL ADOPTION DAYS - Nov. 21th and Dec. 5th. Noon till 4 PM. Come see some adorable pups !
Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. It also eliminates or reduces the incidences of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat!
If you can open your heart and home to an animal that needs you, please call: 843-207-PAWS! We need you - the animals need you!
Berkeley County PAWS is an organization comprised of dedicated volunteers who provide foster care and adoption for homeless animals and provide resources and events to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
We are a 501 c 3 (charitable non-profit) animal welfare organization. Donations are tax-deductible and allow us to provide for the needs of our rescued animals and support our spay/neuter program.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE... Found in the woods huddled together with our mother found by an Angel to help us survive. Our foster Mother was quick to organize people to see we would survive. First a place to be together to get well was built with the help of PAWS and a volunteer. Shelter from the elements was great. We next got to see a wonderful Veterinarian; Dr. Gerbec of Animal Medical Clinic of Goose Creek; she saw we were under nourished had some parasites and needed antibiotics. Also we needed a bath, this was done by Christine, wow clean at last. We got our food and medicine twice a day for a month and our hair grew back beautifully. Next thing to do was get a few pictures out of the way and on the web, Barb our website guru did this and made us look fabulous. Now we are healthy and soon to be spayed or neutered with all shots up to date. The last step is for Christine to get us out in the public, find amazing families, post a final picture and get our forever homes in the village which so lovingly took us in and made us a part of the family. Now is the time for you to be a part of the village and give us this new forever home, we thank you in advance, love the Scruff-mutts.
Please note that we have the right to refuse adoption of any of our animals for any reason we feel applicable !
There is no public shelter to visit. Instead, our companion animals are lovingly cared for in one of our approved foster homes where they can more readily adjust to a family/home environment. To see an animal you are interested in, contact the foster home to make an appointment. Foster names and contact numbers are listed in the pet's information on the Pet List page. Cats that are at PETsMART may be seen during store hours. Cats are adopted as INDOOR ONLY pets. PETsMART is located in Azalea Square on N. Main St. in Summerville between Target and Kohl's. "Adoption Days" at PETsMART which include dogs as well as cats are listed under NEWS AND SPECIAL EVENTS when scheduled.
All PAWS pets have been examined by a veterinarian, de-wormed, vaccinated and altered. Dogs are tested for heartworm and treated if positive. Most of our dogs and cats are also Microchipped. Cats are also tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV
An adoption application is required and upon approval a contract must be signed. This is our Application to Adopt a Cat. CAT APPLICATION This is our Application to Adopt a Dog. DOG APPLICATION Please download the appropriate application, print it and fill it out. Then contact the foster home named on the animal's page in our Pet List below. You may review the terms of our contract here
CAT CONTRACTPlease note that cats and kittens adopted from PAWS may not be de-clawed.
Rusty is a handsome orange and white tabby with very long legs, and about one year old. He also answers to the nickname Rustoleum! He loves his people so much that he gets depressed when he goes to the adoption center and he usually turns around and is brought right back to his foster home.
Rusty loves to play, loves to be held and loved, and he really loves to help with chores around the house - helping out where he can, but mostly supervising. Rusty would do well in a home with older children and other nice cats, but no dogs please. He is scared of all dogs except really nice (and usually old) ones.
Rusty is still waiting for that perfect family to call his own. He has been neutered and microchipped, tested negative for feline leukemia and AIDS, and is up to date on his vaccinations. All cats and kittens adopted from BC PAWS must remain indoor only, and declawing is prohibited.
Please contact Rusty's foster mom, Marguerite, at 708-0566, or email her at flowercat29461@yahoo.com if you'd like to meet Rusty.

The altering of a companion animal is every pet owner's responsibility to their pet and the community. There is no excuse for not having it done. The procedure is safe and simple and your pet will fully recover in 7 to 10 days. It can be done as early as 3 months of age and will improve your pet's health and behavior. It is the humane way to control the pet population. The tri-county area has two low cost Spay/Neuter Clinics that are available to everyone, the John Ancrum SPCA Spay and Neuter Clinic at the SuperPetz in West Ashley, and the Doc Williams SPCA Spay and Neuter Clinic in Goose Creek.Volunteers are the backbone of this organization. Do you have Scout troop or a group at work or school looking for a community service project? We would welcome your fundraising ideas. We also need people to help solicit donations of goods and services that can be included in fundraising drawings. Your fresh ideas are needed and welcome.
Call (843) 207-PAWS and leave a message or send us an e-mail at berkeleycopaws@yahoo.com.
