Charleston Animal Society teamed up with Mount Pleasant Towne Centre for Pup Bowl VII on February 10. That’s when the Kansas City Canines faced off with the San Francisco Fluffy Whiners! Between the zoomies and tumbling, there was so much action on the field, it was hard to follow. Fans agreed, the best part of the game were the 21 adoptions — which literally equals three touchdowns worth of love. Congratulations to these All-Star puppies and their MVP puppy parents!

Each state and territory are ranked based on 20 different categories of animal protection. Unfortunately, South Carolina is almost dead last, falling to #47 when it comes to the strength of animal protection laws here.
Jennifer Russell always wanted to be a philanthropist. a life-long animal lover, Jennifer literally started putting money in a shoe box with a plan to “do something good” with it.
