OUR PURPOSE
The Grand Strand Humane Society takes in animals brought in by the City of Myrtle Beach Animal Control as well as those brought into the shelter by members of the community. We are committed to the care and humane treatment of all homeless and abandoned animals. We are further committed to providing excellent guest service to those people visiting our facilities in the hope that all our animals can find caring and loving homes. We also work at educating our community about responsible pet ownership and finally, to investigate and attempt to prevent cruelty to all animals. We strive to provide the Myrtle Beach community with cost-effective adoption rates as well as spay/neutering and medical services.

A letter from Dixie Barkington, a Grand Strand Humane Society Resident
My name is Dixie. I am a golden lab and everyone tells me how beautiful I am. I’m two years old and I need a home. I love people, especially kids because they like to play. I don’t understand why I’m at the Grand Strand Humane Society. I thought I did everything right. I was a good girl and I tried so hard; but I heard my family talking about how they couldn’t afford me anymore. One day they asked me if I wanted to go for a car ride. Yea! When my mommy started crying, I knew something was wrong. My daddy handed my leash to one of the nice workers at the Grand Strand Humane Society. My entire family cried as I walked away from them. I cried, too. I waited for them to come back, but they never did.
