Celebrity Paws in the Park,

About the event

Celebrity Paws in the Park, presented by Crews Subaru, is the largest fundraising and community event of the year for Charleston Animal Society! Join thousands of humans and their canine companions at Riverfront Park, 1061 Everglades Avenue, North Charleston, SC on Saturday, June 10, 2023 for our celebratory “Walk for Animals” where dogs can bring their humans along a leisurely waterfront route to raise funds for animals in need.

Then plan to sit, stay and play all day long in canine activity zones throughout the park, including pet adoptions, Swift Paws lure coursing and canine demonstrations. See the world famous “K9s in Flight,” the country’s premier high-flying dog entertainers, in action-packed shows throughout the day and enjoy live music from our main stage, headlined by Midnight City. New is the “Barks & Brews” craft beer festival and hot air balloon rides as part of the all-day fun.

Why should you sponsor?

Becoming a sponsor for Celebrity Paws in the Park will provide your company with exposure to smart and passionate families across our state and establish your brand as a partner in our lifesaving work. As a special perk, you will also have the opportunity to build camaraderie among your employees and customers by having them participate in a Celebrity Paws in the Park walk team. We are available along the way to provide support with virtual kick-off events and regular email and social media communications to keep everyone engaged. Most importantly every dollar raised will make a life-changing difference for the nearly 20,000 animals who will turn to Charleston Animal Society for caring, compassion and hope this year alone.

Will Howell

In 1874, Charleston Animal Society was formed as the first animal protection organization in South Carolina and one of the first in the nation. Its purpose was then, and has always been, to prevent cruelty to animals. Almost 20,000 animals will turn to Charleston Animal Society for caring, compassion and hope this year alone.

More than an animal shelter, today Charleston Animal Society is a thought leader in the welfare and well-being of animals. In addition to caring for homeless animals, from hamsters to horses, adopting pets into new homes, and reuniting lost pets with their families, the organization responds to animals in crisis as a result of both man-made and natural disasters.

The combined animal shelter and animal hospital at Charleston Animal Society are accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), an achievement attained by only about 15% of veterinary practices in the United States. The comprehensive shelter medicine program not only provides direct care for as many as 300 resident animals at one time, the shelter veterinarians also spay or neuter pets to prevent pet overpopulation and provide emergency medical services to critically ill and injured animals arriving at the shelter.
