The Horry County Animal Care Center’s goal is to adopt 200 wonderful pets into loving homes before Christmas!                                                                                                   

Also, to help homeless animals in Horry County find loving homes, the Animal Care Center will offer discounted adoptions Friday, January 3, 2014, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday, January 4, 2014, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.  Potential adopters are encouraged to visit and spend time with the animal they are interested in.  Most of the animals are already spayed or neutered and have their shots up to date, however younger animals may need to be returned later to have shots and/or spay/neutering done.  The paperwork is easy and only takes a few minutes to fill out.  For this event, adoption fees will be discounted to just $40 for dogs (normally $80) and $25 (normally $50) for cats which includes spaying/neutering, vaccines including Rabies, heartworm or leukemia testing, heartworm and flea preventative, intestinal parasite treatment and micro-chipping.  Qualifying new pet parents also get 30-days free pet health insurance and coupons from local pet businesses.
