How commonly do you adopt out parvo+ puppies to unsuspecting customers? Twice in two months at OUR vet alone... so sad to take people's $375 for adoption knowing their dog is most likely doomed or about to put them $8k in debt if they can afford to keep it alive... If you can't keep your puppies from exposure to a deadly disease... why do you continue to adopt them out too young to be fully vaccinated? Is the best interest of the animals more important than the money? If you claim the cost of a parvo test is too much to do regularly, why would anyone return a sick dog to you first as you request? $8k per pup would clearly be too much for you... better to surrender to someone that will save them. Just a hint of the trauma you've put our family through. Despicably irresponsible. read more

We adopted Kite (now Kate) from Kind Keepers about a year ago. Could not have found a better family member, nor a better rescue. Everyone was terrific, stopping by to tell me about their experiences with Kate, share a story, or just to say "So Long". There is a lot of activity at the shelter, it is non-stop and these folks, both paid staff and volunteers, need to be commended for the work that they do. If we ever decided to adopt again, we would definitely go to Kind Keepers. read more

I got my Stanley, a cat, about two years ago. My experience is positive for this shelter. Stanley was nine years old upon adoption with cankles and one eye. He is a very moody cat. I received extra support after the adoption with phone calls. I commend them on expanding their shelter to serve more animals and the community. If you are adopting, understand they are doing a remarkable job with the facility they have. I wish every animal in their shelter a happy home. read more

Wonderful group of big hearted volunteers who do all that they can to save the lives of so many animals.

Kindkeeper does a phenomenal job taking care of many puppies , kittens , dogs and cats! I have been a volunteer since August 2023 and I have personally witnessed the great work they do! They would love to take all the strays but unfortunately we are full most of the time. They take animals from kill shelters in SC ; they save lives everyday and their work is very hard but they do it all out of love for these animal. Please consider donating your time or money, if you can. read more

Such sweet people with a lot of love for the animals! Help support this great business

Not So Kind Keepers I'm a 100% DAV with PTSD. I love dogs and very much need one for a PTSD companion and it must be a fairly small dog for my accommodations. Twice previously I had dogs I fell in love with, filled out an application & made sure they were available, and then I was told my application was lost and the dogs were adopted to someone else both times. They just got me again! I fell in love with another dog Friday. I called again. She was available and I made the first available appointment on Monday. I filled out a third application since my previous two had been lost. I was then promised that I would receive a phone call if she was adopted before my appointment. My second home is 500 miles away and I get panic attacks and anxiety from even a short drive. I received no call and made the 500 mile drive all night to find out they had adopted her to someone else. I'm done with these people! They really know how to hurt somebody! read more

Do not take an animal there that you find wondering around on the side of the road you are better off taking them home the manager is extremely rude and unprofessional they refuse to help stating that they are full when there is no animal in sight just an overall bad experience. read more

This place currently has our doggie and refuses to return him to us , we took him in last week after his military family was sent over seas , we haven't even had him long enough to take him to the vet . We have pictures from the day we got him and they still refuse to return him, we are being forced to take legal action against this place and have had to contact the authorities. This place smells horrible and was not clean what so ever , I'm so sad my dog is stuck in this place until the authorities come on Monday , this is a sorry excuse for a "rescue". After reading other reviews I'm unsure how such a gross place is still in business , glad I am not the only one who thinks this place should be shut down. Update: we contacted the police who forced them to give us back our dog , turns out that had adopted our dog out within hours of receiving him, although they said they had to hold him for 48 Hours . They lied to us and said they had him , this place just wants money . The deep sounding "woman" cussed at us and used the F word over and over ... the only word for this place and it's employees is ... GROSS! Go read the FB reviews ... I'm not the only one who feels this way! read more

Picked up a great little kitten. had him for a day and noticed a flea. Upon further inspection he was infested. They told me to give him a bath in Dawn Dish Detergent. After doing some research I found it was unsafe because it will dry out their skin. Dawn is for oil soaked animals and dishes not kittens with fleas. Without trying hard I picked off at least 8 adult Fleas. I can't tell you how furious I am! They told me he was treated before he left. A lie of course. I saved all the fleas I killed and want compensation for taking him to a groomer $40 for flea bath. Which leaves me with the task of defleaing my house since the kitten has been everywhere exploring. I don't think that's a lot to ask since they claim for $125 he was "All Ready To Go". I called a veterinarian and the advice was take him to a professional groomer. I have had this Kitten 2 days. If you adopt from this place you must inspect for fleas before you leave. It's wonderful that they rescue but sad how they let this happen. read more

I came a long way to meet a kitten I was interested in. The shelter was crowded, dirty, and looked in poor shape. I was introduced to the kitten, and I asked them if any of the kittens in the room were positive for any of the major cat diseases. They very hurriedly told me no. I had only interacted with this kitten in the room for about 3 minutes before they came back and asked me to make a decision. I was incredibly unsure because I just did not have enough time, but I chose to take home the cat. Immediately in the car ride home, he started sneezing. Then he grew extremely, extremely sick. It was a respiratory infection and severe conjunctivitis first. A few vet visits and hundreds of dollars later, he was on multiple different drugs and was getting better. Then he suddenly started losing strength in his legs, lost the ability to walk, wasn't eating well, and became severely anemic and jaundiced. My vet told me he needed a blood transfusion. I did everything I could and spent huge sums of money to try and help this little guy feel better, but I ultimately had to put him to sleep after only spending a month with him. I never found out exactly what was wrong with him. I will always appreciate the efforts of no-kill shelters, but this has been an incredibly painful experience for me that was due, in my opinion, to an urgency to just get animals out of the shelter. Consider this possibility when adopting a pet here. read more

Got my pup from them. Wonderful staff and volunteers. 100 percent would recommend. I also recommend filling out adoption forms prior to visiting, I did and it made the process so much smoother. read more

Reached out to speak to owner, 3 days ago Belinda, and have yet had a call back to discuss the denial of dog adoption due to strange information they sought after on my vet records and past for 10 years & their lack of communication amongst their front office// adoption " counselors" and kennel techs. Still no return call. What's the deal? Being punished for others issues of returning dogs. Their are laws in place in every state that is mandatory to report a dog bite. They don't care. Please seek animals elsewhere and do research before hand. read more

I love animals! Shortly after moving to S. Carolina, my dog suddenly died. I visited Kind Keepers and found a perfect puppy for me! She was the runt in a litter that was abandoned on the side of a road. I initially had some concerns which the staff took care of immediately. Shortly after adopting my first puppy, I adopted my second pup from Kind Keepers. He was one of a litter of 10 that was left abandoned in the woods. His litter was initially in the shelter, but when their time came to be put down, Kind Keepers came to the rescue. They take in animals at all ages and provide them with medical care, a safe environment, exercise, and, most of all, love. They have many volunteers who walk the dogs, play with the puppies, and cuddle with the kitties. Save a life. Support a non-kill shelter! read more

We got a puppy recently and I am typically not one to write a review but this has caused a lot of stress and worry. It also has cost a lot of money. She was very sleepy which I wrote off as being in a new place and stressed. Within two days she started throwing up. Within 4 days she was at an emergency vet with parvo. We were told it takes 5-7 days for severe symptoms to appear after being exposed to the virus. Our dogs are all vaccinated and we were very careful with this pup, just kept her inside and used pee pads. I was told they don't test for parvo at the shelter and based on paperwork her last fecal test was over 2 weeks before we adopted her. We were also told that none of her sisters were sick so our situation felt pushed aside. After research we learned dogs do not shed the virus until 4-5 days after their exposure to it. So this would make sense why her sisters are healthy and she is sick. They asked us to bring her back so they could care for her there but both the ER vet and our normal daytime vet did not like that idea. We trusted them and kept her hospitalized where she could get the care she needed. She has been hospitalized since Wednesday. Luckily the vets have been fantastic. I am not saying "don't adopt from them" because these animals need a home, but I am saying, if they are going to charge such a high adoption fee make sure they at least send you home with a healthy pet or be honest about their health. Also make sure you have a big emergency fund for vet fees. We are already near $2000 in and more to come. We've had some wonderful people in our corner helping us. Based off of reviews on google and Yelp we are not the first ones to experience this. read more

I recently lost a pet. After sometime I was considering the thought of getting another furbaby. I researched the area. I found Kind Keeper Animal Rescue. I set up an adoption appointment with a wonderful lady Faith. I arrived at the facility did my walk trough. I had my visit with Mini which went wonderful as well. I took Mini home that day. Fast forward Mini has adjusted well. Any questions I had were answered and Faith checks up on us. Belinda is compassionate and dedicated. Kind Keeper Animal Rescue is what Horry county, our community needs more of. Mini and I are great full. read more

I was ready to adopt a Dog and the Host told me that I need to have 23 years old to adopt. I am 20 and I own my own house and pay my own bills by myself. This is just fucked up that I can't make a loving home for a dog. Thanks for nothing read more

Kind Keeper takes the animals that the local shelters would put down and gives them a second chance. The staff is dedicated and Caring. It is overcrowded because of the severe influx of puppies but where other shelters turn down animals Kind Keeper tries their best not to do that. They are working hard to raise money to build a brand new shelter so that they can even meet the needs of the community better than they do now. It's a worthwhile venture to support them in their plans for the future! read more

Kind Keepers is working so hard to do their best to help as many animals they can. Thank you for all that you do!!! And thank you so much for taking such good care of Cinnamon, we can't wait to bring her home!!! read more

If you plan to adopt from a litter of puppies from this location let me save you some a heartache. I received a call from this organization after seeing a puppy on Petfinder from this organization. The young lady I spoke with said the puppy was available for adoption and I could pick the dog up at 12:00. I submitted the application in the dogs name immediately after the call. Nothing was said about a deposit only the puppy would be ready to take home at 12:00. We arrived at 11:45 and found out it was first come first serve. Our family including myself cried the one hour drive back home. I suppose the real fault lies with people responding to your inquiry without either common sense or just improperly trained. This destroyed our weekend and I am posting how business is done at this location. If you see an animal you want find out when they will open for adoption and be there an hour early. Best of luck but be prepared for what comes. read more

I adopted a kitten on Saturday 04/23 from Kind Keepers. One of the main reasons I adopted was to get this animal out of this horrid place. I paid $145. The kitten had diarrhea from the moment I got it home. Sunday was OK. He ate very little, Monday came around and he went down hill fast. I took him to Animal Hospital of NMB (which are great by the way) Oscar (the kitten) was given fluids, a dewormed, and I was sent home with medicines. For the next 26 hours I fed him through a syringe. I held him. I gave him his medicines. All to no avail. Oscar passed away this morning 4/26 @8am. I decided to have him cremated as I would never take him or his body back inside this horrible place. I went after I dropped him off at the funeral home to Kind Keepers. I wanted the adoption fee back. I understand as is, but as is with an animal to actually take care of. I don't have this. I drove to Kind keepers to get my money back. A normal healthy cat does not die in 2 days..period! I was met with two extremely hostile women who are defending this actual establishment. The door was shut on me and they continued to yell out the window. They actually said, this isn't the first time. Yeah I guess not, considering you adopt out sick animals all the time! The must have so many animals die, that they are callous to someone else's hurt over an animal they wanted to love and care for. I was offered 60.00, which to me is an admission of guilt. Also, was offered Oscar's sister.. yeah right and go through this again. I have filed with environmental control and will make this public. NO one should try to do a good deed and be met with these circumstances. My heart is broken and my children's hearts are broken. How can a place like this exist? If I can save at least one person from experiencing the same heartache of watching a helpless animal die. Then I will shout from the mountain tops. read more

This place sucks, only go here if you wanna call and give heads up about a dog u want . And want to arrive to someone leaving with it right in front of you . Only come here if you want to fill out paperwork for an hour and then they tell you you can't get the dog because you haven't had a pet on records in myrtle beach. Therefore this is the worst adoption shelter I've ever seen and I hope no one goes here. Told us they would call us in the morning n we didn't speak to them until we called them at 12:30 pm . Not once but twice. My girlfriends was crying over the dog right in front of them because they don't know how to run their place. Also side note it's nearly $300 for a mixed breed that they don't know any of the breeds in except for one read more
