Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL)

About Us

Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) was formed to enhance the Beaufort County Animal Shelter’s foster care program and improve their adoption rates.  HAL evolved from the Beaufort Humane Association in September 2005.

Puppies/kittens, as well as pregnant or lactating dogs/cats are placed in foster homes until they are ready to be spayed or neutered and put up for adoption. HAL provides food, litter, and other supplies as well as pays for a portion of their medical expenses.

HAL holds adoption fairs to help shelter and foster animals find forever homes.

HAL is all-volunteer non-profit charity and all money donated is used to help the animals.

One of our goals is to improve our online presence.   We would love to hear your feedback so please take a minute and send us your comments (positive and negative).  It is the only way we can improve.

In addition, we absolutely LOVE our partnership with Petfinder.  It is THE place where people go to search online for furry four-legged companions. We will continue to place all our animals available for Adoption and our Happy Tails on Petfinder.  We upgraded our Petfinder “look and feel” to be more compatible with and provide easy access to our main HAL web site.  We also added some basic feature/functionality.

HAL operates solely on private contributions and our furry friends are very grateful for your support.  Please consider making a monetary donation or volunteering some of your precious time to foster (dogs or cats) or use your business skills and imagination to enhance HAL’s ability to support the animals in Beaufort County.
