You Can Help Save Lives!
Every animal that leaves our shelter healthier, happier, and ready for a new home has been helped by people like you. Whether you have an hour a week or room in your home for a foster pet, there's a place for you at Colleton County Animal Services.
Why Volunteer at CCAS?
Every walk, every photo, every load of laundry, and every kind interaction helps an animal move one step closer to finding a family. Volunteers are an essential part of our lifesaving mission.
