Paws in the Park

What is Paws in the Park?
Paws in the Park and Walk for the Animals is an all-day event featuring a fun walk, games, food, live music and activities for pets and their families. There will be local animal experts and our own veterinarians on hand to answer questions related to animal health, a variety of educational exhibits with animals of all kinds, vendors from all around the lowcountry, and lots of treats for animals and their owners. This one day festival will raise money to save countless animals lives, help feed and provide medical care for hundreds of animals, provide a day for education and family togetherness, and bring the community together toward a common cause.

Support our Mission
The mission of the Charleston Animal Society is to ensure that every domestic animal in our community lives in an environment that provides protection, love, activity and nourishment. As a primary advocate and humane education resource, the CAS offers programs in Charleston and surrounding area schools and in the community, teaching lessons that foster kindness to people, animals and the earth.

In addition, the Charleston Animal Society provides shelter and care for lost, abandoned and homeless companion animals; maintains a state-of-the-art facility that promotes the adoption of homeless animals to responsible, caring homes; operates a low fee spay/neuter clinic; works collaboratively with other local animal shelters and rescue groups; works with animal control agencies on cruelty investigations and seeks vigorous prosecution when appropriate.

How you can help
Hendrick Honda of Charleston is proud to be a sponsor of Paws in the Park. You can also be a sponsor! The Charleston Animal Society provides food, shelter, medical care, and compassion to more than 12,000 homeless animals each year. Thanks to the gifts of our donors and corporate partners, last year we were able to place over 5,450 of our animal friends in a new home or reunite them with their owner, spay/neuter over 6,000 animals, and provide rescue efforts for animals suffering from cruelty situations. We are also able to provide humane education to 2,800 students in area classrooms each year. Through these programs we teach children empathy and compassion for animals and people.
