ANIMAL LOVERS OF EDISTO (ALOE): A Commitment to Saving the Lives of the Homeless and Abandoned Dogs on Edisto Island
What We Do....
Animal Lovers of Edisto began in 2006 and its volunteers work diligently rescuing the stray and abandoned dogs of Edisto Island. We provide these dogs - who often times have never known a kind touch or a full belly - with food, shelter, veterinarian care, exercise, and perhaps most importantly – kindness and love. ALOE does not euthanize animals, but we are short on space, so we make it a point to try and find our dogs homes as quickly as possible through Internet outreach, adoption days, and fliers posted throughout town.
Just a small group of volunteers take care of these dogs. Many people think that such a small place couldn’t possibly have that many homeless dogs, but unfortunately, that is not the case; in any given year, ALOE places anywhere between 20-50 dogs and puppies with new families.
ALOE also tries to find the owners of these dogs when possible. ALOE volunteers will never take a dog from private property. If your dog is missing, contact ALOE to see if your dog is with us. We also post fliers for two weeks when we take on a stray so that we can try and locate the pet’s owner.
ALOE is able to take care of these animals thanks to the contributions from the local community and vacationers. As always, we need more volunteers and donations of virtually any kind to make the rescue dogs lives as happy as possible before they move on to their forever homes.
Remember, the best way to control the pet population is to have your pet spayed or neutered. Contact facilities in your area to find the best prices available for this necessary procedure. Many animal shelters offer programs for low income pet owners.
