Beaufort County Animal Services Do you own a pet in Beaufort County, South Carolina? We are your County Shelter! The Beaufort County Animal Services is a county run facility.
(303)

We are an open admission shelter that provides service to the residents of Beaufort County. Being an open admission shelter we accept any animal that is brought to us by residents from within Beaufort County. Because of our REDUCE initiative —which was designed to reduce overpopulation, euthanasia, disease, owner surrenders, and cruelty —we've been able to:

Begin to correct the disparity between the number of animals that come into our care and the number of homes willing to adopt them, especially for felines. Reduce the rate of euthanasia by 50% from 2013 compared to the same time period in 2011. Increase the Live Release rate to 66% during the same time period. Partner with Hilton Head Humane to provide a low-cost, high quality spay/neuter service for pets of people in need. We also continue to work with our limited-admission organizations, to ensure the reduction of euthanasia in our area. Given the current challenges facing animals in our community, we believe it is imperative to continue to be a place for all animals in need by continuing to operate as an open-admission shelter. Whether open-admission or limited-admission, our combined efforts are achieving more for animals now more than ever before.

🎃👻 HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN FROM ALL OF US AT BEAUFORT COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES! 🐾🧡

We hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween filled with treats, tricks, and plenty of fun!

While the little ghosts and goblins are out collecting candy, let's make sure our four-legged family members stay safe, too!

A few tricks (but definitely no treats!) to keep your pets safe tonight:

🍫 Keep the candy hidden! Chocolate, sugar-free candy (especially anything containing xylitol), and raisins can be dangerous for pets.

🚪 Watch those doors! With trick-or-treaters coming and going, it's easy for a curious pup or sneaky kitty to make a great escape. Keep them safely secured.

🎭 Costumes should be comfy! If your pet isn't a fan of dressing up, don't force it. Their comfort comes first!

🕯️ Decorate with caution! Keep candles, electrical cords, fake spiderwebs, and small decorations out of paw's reach.

🏷️ Check those ID tags! Make sure your pets are wearing their collars and that their microchip information is up to date. You never know when a Halloween adventure might turn into a runaway situation!

🐈 Give them a quiet retreat! Not every pet enjoys the spooky visitors and constant doorbell ringing. A quiet room with some cozy blankets can make all the difference.

And remember, if your pet manages to get into something they shouldn't, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic right away.

From our shelter family to yours, have a safe, happy, and PAWsome Halloween! 🧡🐾

Stay spooky, stay safe, and give your pets an extra treat (the pet-friendly kind!) tonight! 🎃

DO YOU KNOW THIS KITTY?

This friendly feline was recently found in the Hewitt Oaks area, and we're hoping someone might recognize them!

This kitty is quite friendly and seems a little too comfortable with people to be your typical neighborhood feral. ❤️ We're wondering if this may be someone's lost pet or a kitty who has a family missing them.

If you recognize this cat or have any information about where they may belong, please reach out to us!

And as always, please SHARE to help us get this kitty back home. 🏡🐱

💔🐾 SHE WATCHED HER BABY LEAVE… AND SHE’S STILL WAITING. 🐾💔

On September 29, 2025, Loca arrived at Beaufort County Animal Services with the one thing that mattered most to her: her baby boy. 🥺❤️

They came through our doors together, and at least they had each other during what must have been a frightening and confusing time.

But eventually, her little boy got his happy ending. Someone chose him. Someone took him home. Someone gave him the family he deserved. 🏡❤️

And Loca? She was left behind. 💔

Her baby boy got to leave the shelter and begin a new life, but Loca's story is still being written within these walls. Day after day, she waits for someone to notice her, choose her, and give her the chance to experience the love of a family again.

As of today, Loca has spent 396 DAYS in the shelter. That's 396 days of waiting for a door to open—not to another kennel, but to a home of her own.

We can't explain to her why her baby got to leave while she stayed behind. We can't tell her when her turn will come. All we can do is keep sharing her story and hope that the right person finally sees her.

Loca deserves to be someone's baby, too. She deserves a soft place to land, a family to call her own, and a lifetime of love that doesn't end with a kennel door closing. ❤️

Her baby boy found his forever home. Now, it's Loca's turn. 🐾

Please don't let Loca become another dog who waits and waits while life passes her by. Share her story. Tag a friend. Come meet her. Help us show this sweet girl that just because she was left behind doesn't mean she is any less deserving of love.

🏡 Loca is waiting for her forever home at Beaufort County Animal Services.

Her son got his happy ending. Let's make sure Loca gets hers, too. 💔🐶❤️

❤️ SHE’S SAFE! COMMUNITY, YOU DID IT! ❤️

There’s something truly special about what can happen when a community comes together for a common cause. Today, we get to celebrate one of those moments! 🥹🐾

As many of you know, a little brown Chihuahua has been roaming the streets of Laurel Bay for the past several weeks. So many wonderful people have been feeding her, keeping an eye on her, and trying their best to catch her. There have been plenty of attempts, but this little girl has proven to be quite the escape artist! 😂 She even has her very own page dedicated to her capture!

But today… WE GOT HER! 🎉❤️

With the help of some truly amazing people, we were finally able to safely contain her in a room, get her trapped, and bring her in. After weeks of worry, close calls, and determined efforts, this little girl is finally safe. And that is something worth celebrating!

Now, the next chapter begins. We’ll be getting her checked out medically, scanning for a microchip to see if she has a family missing her, and giving her time to decompress and become comfortable around people again. After spending so much time on the run, she deserves a little peace, patience, and a chance to feel safe. ❤️

We know there are already SO many people interested in adopting her, and trust us, we understand! Just look at that adorable little face! 🥰 But we kindly ask for your patience while we give her the time and care she needs. Before we can consider adoption inquiries, we need to make sure she’s been medically evaluated, we’ve made every effort to locate her owner, and she’s had time to settle in.

To everyone who called, messaged, shared posts, kept watch, offered food, and tried to help catch this little girl over the past several weeks — THANK YOU! 🙌❤️ Every single effort mattered, and this happy ending would not have been possible without people who cared enough to keep trying.

Today is a beautiful reminder that when a community comes together, incredible things really can happen.

Laurel Bay, you showed up for this little girl, and today, she’s safe. That’s what it’s all about. 🐾❤️🎉
