The Pound
I adopted your dog today.
The one you left at the pound,
the one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.
I adopted your dog today.
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all faith?
I adopted your dog today.
He had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry about it.
You've unburdened your load.
I adopted your dog today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop
allergies or was there no reason he couldn't stay?
I adopted your dog today.
He doesn't play or eat much.
He's very depressed,
but he will learn to trust again.
I adopted your dog today.
And here he will stay.
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed on which to lay.
I adopted your dog today.
And I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.

About US
DONATIONS DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!
Liberty Humane Shelter is a no-kill, non-profit organization run entirely off of donations. We currently have 4 employees but may add to that soon. We currently are housed at a county maintained site, but hope to build a new facility in the near future. Liberty County Animal Control and Liberty Humane Shelter share the responsibilities of maintenance on the building and share the cost of utilities such as electricity and propane gas. The two facilities also share the responsibilty of cost of feeding and maintaining the animals such as food and cat litter, etc. We receive no other financial aid from the county or any other governmental agencies.
We appreciate the opportunity that Liberty County has extended to us to allow us to save the lives of the animals in Liberty County, and we depend on the community to support us through donations, grants from businesses, memberships, and fundraisers for us to pay the basics of our organization. These basics are food for the animals, cleaning supplies, medication/shots for the animals, propane costs, payroll costs, expenses on the shelter van, vet bills, and gasoline for the van and lawnmower.
We try to save as many from animal control as we can. Unfortunately, we can not save them all although we are trying every day to find a home for our animals. When we do, it up opens a kennel for us to pull from animal control. Please help us save more, encourage everyone you know if they are looking for a pet, to come see what we have. The perfect family pet may be here waiting for them to take it home!
The Liberty Humane Shelter is also engaged in education about spaying and neutering. We work with our local vets and SNAC to make sure that all animals that are adopted from the shelter have been altered. If your animals have not been altered, please contact your vet immediately or a spay/neuter clinic in your area. The Liberty Humane Shelter is a pick up area for a low-cost spay/neuter clinic from South Carolina. We are trying to do our part to decrease the pet population in our area. Spaying, neutering and responsible guardianship of these animals is vital to saving lives. We cannot do it all. We need you to be committed to the animals who depend on you.
For more info about spay/neutering please call your veterinarian clinic or SNAC 1-843-645-2500.
LIBERTY HUMANE SHELTER WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY THANK ALL OF "OUR LOCAL VETS" THAT REPEATEDLY HELP US ON A DAILY BASIS. WE COULD NOT MAINTAIN OUR ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER WITHOUT THEIR INPUT, THEIR EXPERTISE, AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP US. MANY THANKS TO LIBERTY VETERINARY CLINIC, BEATIE ANIMAL HOSPITAL, FLEMINGTON VETERINARY HOSPITAL, WOLFE ANIMAL HOSPITAL, CEDAR ANIMAL HOSPITAL, AND RICHMOND HILL ANIMAL HOSPITAL.
Liberty County Animal Control
Liberty Humane Shelter is NOT the same organization as Liberty County Animal Control.
Liberty County Animal Control is high-kill and county-run. Their job is a terrible one, and we hate that they must do it. If there were more responsible animal owners in Liberty County there would be fewer animals for them to pick up as strays, and fewer that would be breeding repeatedly.
We as a community need to take control of the animal population and start spaying and neutering our animals. We also need to be responsible for the pets that so depend on us to care for them.
When they get lost, please search for them until they are found. Many people do not even know where their animal goes when they are picked up by animal control. After 5 days, a stray pet picked up by LCAC can be put down; don't let this happen to your pet.
Please let your family, friends, and neighbors know if they have lost a pet, to look for them, to come out to the shelter and look for them, to bring a picture of them and to come back every day and look for them. Your pet is depending on you to save him or her. Please help us, help the animal find its owner!
Read this please!
Every day, Animal Control brings in more animals and every Thursday those same officers euthanize the animals that they have come to care for. Every Thursday morning, Animal Control and the Animal Shelter are united by the heaviness in our hearts for the lives that are being lost. We try to save as many as we can so that there will be less that will die next time.
We can't save them all, but with your help, we WILL save more.
If your animal is missing, please do not depend on Petpoint pictures to tell you if animal control has it. Any animal brought into animal control is on limited time (3 to 10 days) and if you wait to check, your loving companion may already be dead. Animal Control is the first place you should check and you should keep checking. Don't depend on a phone call or a microchip. Go look with your own eyes - it is the only way to be certain. Animal controls number is 912-876-9191.
If you have found a stray, you may drop them off at animal control. If you have lost your pet, please call animal control and go by animal control and leave a picture and a number and call everyday to check, better yet come by everyday to check. Your pet is depending on you! If you have an animal cruelty case, please let animal control know of it immediately, Liberty County enforces the animal ordinances and laws.
