This is the year! No Kill South Carolina 2024 is in our final year as we create a statewide, sustainable, and compassionate approach to lifesaving. Our initiative has been a beacon of hope not just for the countless dogs and cats given the chance for life, but for the people who work and care for them as well.

Despite overwhelming odds that animal shelters faced throughout the country and in our state during 2023, Charleston Animal Society continued its record-breaking trek toward building the first No Kill State in the southern United States, from Atlantic to Pacific Oceans, and America’s Heartland. Considered internationally as a model of lifesaving success through animal sheltering and prevention strategies, Charleston Animal Society operates 24/7 to save lives and provide care to nearly 20,000 animals in need yearly.
“We can’t change an animal’s past, but we can rewrite their future,” is the motto of Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary. Nestled in Hollywood, SC, the sanctuary is acres of rolling hills filled with dog runs and cat houses that are home to animals living out their final years in peace and tranquility. The force behind this animal Shangri-La is Helen Bradham who has rescued animals since her childhood in the 1930s. As Charleston Animal Society celebrates a legacy of care of 150 years – we want to hear from partners like Helen who have made Charleston a beacon of lifesaving success.
