The IssueEach year in South Carolina more than 17,000 dogs and cats enter two main municipal shelters, and each year over 11,000 of those same dogs and cats are put to death. Companion animal overpopulation is rampant in South Carolina and continues to escalate. The majority of these animals are happy and healthy and able to be adopted into loving homes.
