💔 200+ DAYS.....STILL WAITING. STILL OVERLOOKED

Meet Sasha. 🌸 A petite, approximately 40lb bundle of kindness, who is fully vetted amd aged around 2 years old. She arrived at Kershaw County Humane Society as a stray over 200 days ago..... 😔

Sasha is polite, well-mannered, friendly with people of all ages and sizes! She has done well with both male and female dog friends and is currently paired with our beautiful Shelly, another well-mannered, laid-back homebody lady. She enjoys companionship, rides well in the car, and has handled busy public events with dogs, commontion and even horses, doing amazing!

So why hasn't she found a home?

The reality is that shelters cannot house animals forever. 💔 KCHS is already operating far beyond capacity while continuing to take in more animals in need from our very own county. Every day a dog like Sasha waits is another day a kennel remains occupied, and an even sadder reality, many are already filled with multiples, while other animals need help.

Shelter life, confinement, and limited individual human interaction can also take a toll, especially on dogs who thrive on companionship. Even with dedicated staff and care, a shelter cannot replace a home. 😔🙏

We cannot simply keep taking in more animals without addressing the question ALL should be asking....why so many need shelter in the first place.!???

We must work together to PREVENT, EDUCATE, ADOPT, FOSTER, and SAVE LIVES. Spay and neuter. Keep pets safe. Microchip. Make responsible choices. Hold accountable. Enforce what can be. Help the animals already waiting and our community surrounding them.

🏡 Sasha deserves a home, not another day in a kennel.

🌐Adoption applications: kchumanesociety.org

📱 Textline: 803-272-8410 — for animal-related questions and inquiries during public hours, directly to shelter staff!

200+ days is long enough. Let's help Sasha finally go home. 🐾💙🧡

Día de los Mu***os for Pets

October 27th is observed by many as Día de los Mu***os for Pets, a heartfelt tradition in which families remember and honor the spirits of their beloved cats, dogs, and other animal companions before the main Day of the Dead celebrations begin. 🐱 🐶 🐇 🐴

According to this modern tradition, the spirits of beloved pets are believed to return home on the night of October 27th often around sunset, and remain with their families until the morning of October 28th. It is a time to welcome their spirits, celebrate the love they shared, and remember the special place they continue to hold in our hearts. 💕

Come walk a dog or play with a cat in honor of your spirits! We are open until 5:30pm.

🐾 💙KERSHAW COUNTY — IS YOUR PET MICROCHIPPED? 🧡✨️

Kershaw County Humane Society 🐾

A microchip can make the difference between a lost pet staying lost and finding their way home!

📌 **Why does it matter?**
🐾 Permanent identification if a collar or tag is lost.
🐾 Helps Kershaw County Code Enforcement/Animal Control officers identify pets in the field and work toward reuniting them with their owners.
🐾 Helps KCHS identify pets brought to the shelter by Animal Control or members of the public.
🐾 Local veterinary offices and other scanning locations can also help identify chipped pets.

🐶 **FOUND A PET? HERE’S WHAT TO DO!**
If a scanner detects a microchip, it will display a unique ID number—not the owner's personal information. Use that number to contact the chip’s registry or ask the scanning location, a veterinarian, or KCHS for help tracing the registration and contacting the owner. Keep the pet safe while you work toward a reunion!

📍👏🥳 **NEW RESOURCE NEAR !** A public microchip scanner is available 24/7 at Rectory Square in Camden, giving residents another way to check a found pet for a chip. Learn more: [https://experiencecamdensc.com/city-of-camden-installs-24-hour-pet-microchip-scanner-station-at-rectory-square/](https://experiencecamdensc.com/city-of-camden-installs-24-hour-pet-microchip-scanner-station-at-rectory-square/)

🐾💙 - KCHS offers microchipping for just $20! It takes only a few minutes. Text ahead or stop by during posted hours below.

📅 **Public hours:**
Tuesday–Saturday, 11 AM–5:30 PM
Wednesday closes at 4:30 PM

📱 Questions? Stopping by? Text them! **803-272-8410**.

⚠️ A microchip is not GPS! Register it and keep your contact information current so you can be reached if your pet is found. A collar with ID tags is still important, too. *And remember RABIES is required by law and the tag should be visible on your pets collar! 🐾✨️

A few minutes today could help bring your best friend home tomorrow!🐶🐱🧡🐾💙
