Get ready for South Carolina’s biggest dog and cat adoption event of the year! From June 20 to June 29, Petco Love Pick Me! SC will ignite a wave of compassion across the state, aiming to find loving homes for 2,500 dogs and cats in just 10 days!
This statewide adoption celebration, powered by Petco Love — and organized by Charleston Animal Society's No Kill South Carolina initiative — unites more than 90 animal shelters, rescue organizations, and Petco pet care centers, making it easy to find your new best friend wherever you live.
“Over the past seven years, we’ve helped more than 12,000 pets find loving homes,” said No Kill South Carolina Project Officer Abigail Appleton, PMP, CAWA. "We cannot wait to see how many more adoptions we can make happen for these amazing pets across our state."
FREE & LOW-FEE ADOPTIONS AT LOCATIONS STATEWIDE
Throughout the event, shelters and rescue groups will offer free or low-fee adoptions to make bringing home a pet more accessible than ever. Nearly every Petco pet care center in the state will host adoptable pets, giving families a chance to meet their future furry friends in a convenient, welcoming space.
Petco pet care centers will have everything you need for your pet, including food bowls, crates, beds, collars and leashes.
For a full list of participating locations across the Lowcountry, the Pee Dee, Grand Strand, the Upstate, and the Midlands, visit PickMeSC.org.
LIFESAVING MEDICAL SUPPORT
As part of Petco Love Pick Me! SC, the Charleston Animal Society’s Simon Greer Mobile Spay-Neuter Clinic will travel the state to ensure hundreds of pets receive vital pre-adoption care, including spay-neuter surgery and vaccinations. Under state law, pets must be spayed or neutered before they can be officially adopted.
“Petco Love Pick Me! SC showcases the incredible impact we can have when shelters, rescues, and communities unite with one mission: to save pet lives,” said Petco Love President Susanne Kogut. “At Petco Love, we’re proud to power this statewide initiative that opens hearts and homes to thousands of pets across South Carolina. Every adoption is a life transformed—and a testament to the power of collaboration and compassion- and of course, love.”
MARK YOUR CALENDAR & SAVE A LIFE!
From June 20–29, come meet your new best friend. Whether you visit a local shelter or a Petco pet care center, you could be the reason a dog wags their tail again or a cat purrs with happiness.
