There are some great naming and sponsor opportunities for the public in helping us do even more to help animals and expand on some of our programs [such as] Unchain Charleston, Dixie’s Emergency Medical Fund for injured and abused animals and our Spay Neuter Trap and Release Fund.” You can also stop by the shelter, located at 1447 Folly Road and see all the good work being done, first hand. As mentioned before, Pet Helpers is also celebrating their 40th Anniversary this year. Carol said, “[We] will be planning several special fun events throughout the year, culminating in our big 14th Annual Fur Ball Gala!” For those readers who are unfamiliar with this popular and long-standing fundraising event, you can read more about it here: https://pethelpers.org/fur-ball/. This year, the Fur Ball will be on November 10th at the Francis Marion Hotel. “It will be an amazing night filled with entertainment, food, drink, auctions, a band, dancing and some additional surprise animal visits…a true night to remember!” My loyal readers know how much I love and support all animal rescue organizations in the Charleston area. However, Pet Helpers is a place that is very dear to me and has truly changed my life. When I began volunteering, I was extremely depressed and felt as though my life had no meaning. Things began to change when I realized that even as one person, I could make a difference in an animal’s life. It’s easy to get discouraged these days – a lot of scary and sad things are going on in the world right now and you may feel powerless.
