Pet Helpers was founded in 1976 by President Carol Linville after she read that 8,000 pets were being euthanized each year at the local shelter. It began as a weekly "adopt a pet" column. Thirty years later that column has grown into Pet Helpers Rescue and Adoption Shelter, one of the foremost pet rescue organizations in South Carolina. Pet Helpers has slowly evolved into a widely recognized, innovative program that offers caring solutions to the serious problems created by pet overpopulation.

For 30 years we have focused on the needs of homeless animals. Through a commitment to no-kill sheltering, required spay and neuter, adoption, and 24-hour a day rescue programs, we have worked tirelessly to save those animals who are without human guardianship. We service the tri-county area of Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston Counties, and are the only independent, no-kill adoption shelter that is staffed and maintains regular business hours. We answer 20,000 calls a year to provide assistance and information to the public concerning animal issues.
