Berkeley County Animal Shelter offers free adoptions despite ongoing development.

Berkeley County Animal Shelter in Moncks Corner is running a timely adoption special amid construction that’s cutting their dog space in half—perfect timing ahead of “cat season.”

Construction impact

Ongoing upgrades include outdoor runs for all 20 adoption-floor kennels (adding fencing, concrete, wall removal) and a new adoption center building as part of a $1.6M Berkeley County project.
This knocks out 10 kennels and 25% of total space, stressing an already full shelter with longer stays harming dogs’ mental health.
No euthanasia for space; excess dogs shift to Charleston Animal Society’s main site temporarily.

Adoption deals now

  • Free for dogs 6 months and older.
  • 50% off puppies.
    Visit: 131 Central Berkeley Drive, Moncks Corner (Tue–Sat, noon–5 p.m.).

How to help fast

  • Adopt: Clears space immediately.
  • Foster long-term: Shelter supplies food/vet care; great for big yards or multi-dog homes.
  • Volunteer: Walk dogs to boost their adoptability (sign up on-site or via Charleston Animal Society).
    Share widely—posts like this on local Facebook groups (e.g., Berkeley pet pages) move dogs quickest.

Aldwin Roman’s right: this is urgent but temporary, with a grand opening by late fall. If you’re in Panipat dreaming of a Lowcountry pup or know someone near Moncks Corner, this is prime time.
