VERY EXCITING UPDATE! We are thrilled to share exciting progress on our capital campaign, A New Home for Hope, for...
Society. The 10 acres of land on which the new shelter will be built were made possible by a special lease with Santee Cooper.
During the ceremony, it was revealed the Adoption & Veterinary Centers will be named after Joe Moglia, who served as Coastal Carolina’s head football
coach for several years before becoming chair of Coastal Carolina’s athletics division. The new facility will serve not only as a shelter and clinic but
also as a community gathering space.
Construction began on March 10th and is expected to be completed by summer 2027. # ANewHomeforHope
Our collaboration with the architects at LS3P, our civil engineers at Earthworks and our general contractor, FBI Construction, is continuing and we are
confident that we have designed a facility that is worthy of our beloved animals and the community we serve.
Thank you for your continued support!

Our Mission
Grand Strand Humane Society exists to improve the quality of life for companion animals by providing shelter and care to the lost, homeless, helpless and unwanted animals of our community. We focus on finding adoptive homes for the animals in our shelter, providing low-cost veterinary care to the public, and through community involvement and education further the bond between people and animals.
Grand Strand Humane Society is an open admission shelter taking in animals brought in by the City of Myrtle Beach Animal Control officers and from citizens within the Myrtle Beach city limits. Years ago we made the decision to stop euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals for space and it was the right decision and the only option for Grand Strand Humane Society. The decision did increase our financial struggle, but we will continue finding every healthy, adoptable animal a forever family as long as it is financially feasible. Because of these efforts we are now proud to be a part of the No-Kill South Carolina community.
Grand Strand Humane Society is further committed to providing excellent customer service to those people visiting our facility in the hopes that all our animals can find caring and loving homes.
Grand Strand Humane Society also strives to educate our community about responsible pet ownership and works hard to investigate and prevent animal cruelty of all kinds. We make every effort to provide all communities within our area cost-effective adoption rates as well as low-cost spay & neuter surgeries and preventative healthcare services.
We want to thank our 2025 Raise the Ruff Gala Presenting Sponsor, CRG Homes, for their generous support of our Capital Campaign.
