The Horry County Animal Care Center hosts the Home for the Pawlidays holiday foster program for the second consecutive year. 

Interested fosters can join the Animal Care Center on Wednesday, November 22, 2023, to pick up a shelter animal to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with. Then, fosters can return the animal on Monday, November 27, 2023, or make it a permanent adoption, if you have fallen in love. The same program will repeat over the Christmas holiday in December. 

This program allows community members to bring home a shelter animal for a temporary foster period over the winter holiday season. In the first year of the event, 20 shelter animals were fostered. 10 of those turned into permanent adoptions.

The hope is to give anxious animals a break from the noise of the shelter. The ACC also hopes the program will bring the joy of having a pet to more community members, including those who love animals but may not be in a position to adopt right now. 

Fosters are an invaluable part of the ACC's operation. By fostering or adopting an animal from the Animal Care Center, you are opening a space for another animal who may need help. Can you open your heart and home to an animal in need? 

For more information about this year's Home for the Pawliday's program, please check the HCACC Facebook page here.

All Horry County Government offices, except Public Safety operations, will be closed Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023, through Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Normal operations and office hours will resume Monday, Nov. 27, 2023.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Stay safe and we will see you again soon.

Conway, South Carolina (Oct. 31, 2023)—Due to current weather conditions, Horry County Government has initiated an outdoor burning ban effective sunrise Wednesday, Nov. 1, for the unincorporated areas of Horry County. This ban will remain in place until further notice. The ban has been initiated due to the extreme fire danger as a result of the low relative humidity, dry and windy conditions. All outdoor burning, including permitted burns, is strictly prohibited during the ban, and those involved in any open burning would be in violation of the law.

For more information on the status of the burning ban, visit horrycountysc.gov/departments/fire-rescue/.
