📣 SCACCA MEMBERS & NON-MEMBERS — CONNECT WITH US!

We’re excited to launch SCACCA CONNECT! — a new regional meet-up built around something our animal care and control community needs more of: opportunities to learn from each other, make connections, and talk about the issues affecting our work right now.

🐾 HERE’S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED:

⚖️ Interactive Discussion: Liabilities in Animal Placement in Shelters
We’ll kick things off with a 45-minute interactive discussion focused on liability considerations surrounding animal placement decisions. Bring your questions, experiences, and perspectives — this is designed to be a conversation, not just a presentation.

🦠 Lunch & Learn with Elanco
Our event sponsor, , will present a Lunch & Learn training on Parvovirus and TruTect — and Elanco is providing lunch for everyone!

💬 Afternoon Roundtable Discussions
This is where we really want to hear from YOU. We’ll break into roundtable discussions focused on topics SCACCA members have told us are important to the work they’re doing right now.

Come ready to share what’s working at your agency, ask questions, hear how others are handling similar challenges, and take home ideas you can actually use.

🤝 And throughout the day, there will be plenty of time to network and build relationships with animal care and control professionals from across South Carolina.

🎟️ AND THERE’S A BONUS!
Everyone who attends will be entered for a chance to win a FREE registration to the CarolinasUNITE 2027 Conference!

📅 Wednesday, September 16 | 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 Lexington County Sheriff’s Department Training Center
541 Gibson Rd., Lexington, SC

You do NOT have to be a SCACCA member to attend! We want to bring together professionals from across the state — members, non-members, shelter staff, animal control officers, leadership, and others working in animal care and control.

🚨 SPACE IS LIMITED — register early to save your spot!

June is National Pet Preparedness Month — a perfect reminder for animal welfare agencies to help pet-loving families prepare now for hurricane season.

Emergencies can happen quickly, and pets are part of the plan. This is a great time to share practical tools with your community, including:

🐾 Making a pet emergency kit
🐾 Keeping ID tags and microchip information updated
🐾 Having crates, carriers, leashes, medications, and records ready
🐾 Knowing where pets can go if evacuation is needed
🐾 Planning ahead before a storm is in the forecast

This short Ready.gov video is a simple, shareable resource agencies can use to help families start the conversation and take action before an emergency happens.

SCACCA encourages animal shelters, animal control agencies, rescues, veterinary partners, and community organizations to share this video on your social channels throughout June to help pet owners prepare before hurricane season peaks.
