    This review is written to address an incident involving one of the cat adoption counselors, Audrey…read moreBoggs, which took place at the Grand Strand Humane Society. The behavior exhibited by Ms. Boggs toward an elderly couple looking to adopt a kitten is deeply concerning and, frankly, unacceptable for a professional representing an organization dedicated to animal welfare and community service. The couple in question had recently lost their beloved senior cat, a black and white tuxedo they had cared for over 18 years. This cat had diabetes for over a decade, and they diligently administered insulin and provided the highest level of care. They are clearly responsible and compassionate pet owners who wanted to provide a loving home to a new kitten. During the adoption process, they disclosed that they had previously declawed their cats, which they only did due to a serious medical condition. The husband has a heart condition that requires him to take blood thinners, making even minor scratches a potential medical emergency. Despite this legitimate medical concern, Ms. Boggs reacted with hostility. She berated and insulted this couple, treating them with extreme disrespect. She even went as far as to state that she would no longer work with their veterinary clinic--a statement that not only seems inappropriate but also unprofessional, considering the veterinary clinic only performs declawing in special cases where a medical necessity is present. While I fully understand and respect the Grand Strand Humane Society's stance on declawing, there is no justification for treating potential adopters in such a degrading and dismissive manner, particularly an elderly couple who were seeking to provide a loving home to an animal in need. A humane society should foster education and compassion, not judgment and hostility. If Ms. Boggs' conduct is reflective of the organization's values, then it raises serious concerns about how the Grand Strand Humane Society treats its community members no matter how sanctimonious she may feel about her actions. However, if her behavior was an isolated incident, then I trust appropriate corrective measures, such as retraining on professional conduct and customer service, will be taken to ensure this doesn't happen to another customer. I am in no way suggesting or advocating for all owners to declaw their cats--let me make that clear. I just feel this could have been handled in a more professional manner. You can say no without a savior complex. I reached out to the Grand Strand Humane Society directly and they have ignored my correspondence. If you wish to adopt, and not be treated like trash, use another location because this one lacks basic decency.

She fell in love with Gigi instantly, and put in an application. Once meeting Gigi it was quickly apparent that she was well loved and taken care of. Gigi herself is just a love bug. Maeve was brought in as a special needs kitten who may have needed her leg amputated. Once Maeve was posted online we volunteered to foster with the intention of adoption. Low Country worked with an amazing vet and no surgery was needed. Low country puts the needs of the animals first. They will truly take any animal, no matter the state of health and work to get them healthy with a good home. There are no limits to the love and care that they are willing to give, and we are truly blessed with the family they have given us.

I scoured the internet for weeks and signed up for pet search engines, adoptapet.com and Petfinder.com. On October 30, 2014, a male yorkie mix posted on petfinder.com. He called out to me. His name was Teddy and he was available through LowCountry Animal Rescue in Summerville. I completed the extensive on-line application. They checked our veterinary reference and made a home visit. As rescue groups look to make the best match, we were thrilled when we received that approval phone call the next day. You see, while we do have a fenced in yard and retired, sometimes, the match is to a household with multiple dogs, or children ... both, of which we had neither. We went to a 'meet and greet' at the PetSmart on Rivers Avenue, the next day. Would Teddy like us? Would hub like Teddy? It was love at first sight and we loved him every minute he shared our lives until he passed almost 7 years later. We had huge holes in our hearts but knew the time was right to fill the void with another precious soul who needed a fresh start. Back to the search engines. The first email in my inbox on New's Year's Day was from adoptapet.com. I couldn't believe my eyes when Clarence's face popped up on my screen, up for adoption through LowCountry Animal Rescue. I had submitted an updated application a month earlier and was approved. As such, I sent them a message with lots of questions to which they responded right away. I asked for Clarence to come to the Adoption Event at Petco, Summerville, scheduled for that afternoon. Clarence was beautiful ... a yorkie-schnauzer mix (Snorkie). Joe and he started bonding right away. He was just who we needed ... and this 6 year old needed us, too. In no time, we were a family of 3, again, on our way home. LowCountry Animal Rescue is a small group of volunteers who foster in their homes. Their fosters come from shelters and owner surrenders. They are responsive and take care of the dogs, cats and any other furry kids that are in their care. Adoptions are on weekends at pre-publicized Adoption events around the greater Charleston area. An approved application must be on file. The animals come up-to-date on shots, Heartworm tested and neutered or spayed. Both Teddy and Clarence were crate trained and house trained. Looking to open your home and heart? They're on Facebook ... Google them and click on 'pets available for adoption' on petfinder.com. Please adopt ... don't shop. You'll be saving a life.
