WHO WE ARE & WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
MISSION STATEMENT
Eunoia Rescue is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization located in Charleston, South Carolina. We are dedicated to saving lives of homeless animals in South Carolina by pulling them from the euthanasia lists of local shelters and placing them in loving homes until they are adopted.
eunoia : [yoo’-noy-ah] | (n.) beautiful thinking
The word “eunoia” means “beautiful thinking” and we are hopeful we can turn our beautiful thoughts for these animals into reality by giving them safe, loving, forever homes.
We are completely foster based and do not have a facility to house our dogs. Because of this we cannot bring a dog into our rescue without having a foster home lined up. We are so thankful for our foster families - we could not do this without them! The rescue provides all of the needed supplies for the foster family, and we also cover all medical expenses of the foster animal.
Because we are a private nonprofit, we do not receive any financial support from the government. Most of our animals come to us with medical issues, a significant amount of those having Heartworms. With illness comes expense, and we rely entirely on donations to continue our mission. All donations can be used as a tax write off, and we are so grateful for the support because without it we could not continue saving lives.
Eunoia Rescue is always looking to expand our team. Interested in fostering? Contact us! Maybe you work from home and have flexibility in your week? Transport our pups to medical appointments! Want to be involved, but can't because of your home life? Chaperone a pup for a Pampered Pup Day! It takes a village to run a rescue operation, so we are always looking for extra hands!

Thank you for supporting our beautiful thought!
OUR FAVORITES
thank you for your support
Eunoia Rescue is blessed to get to work with like-minded individuals and companies who also share a love for dogs, specifically rescue dogs. Through our years of rescue, we've come to learn that our community is full of businesses that show up for our rescue repeatedly. Take a look at our recommendations for places to check out to enhance your dog/human relationship! Click the photos below to check out their websites, and be sure to tell them we sent you!
Dog trainers
In rescue, we've had our fair share of challenging dogs. However, we believe every dog/human relationship can be positively impacted by professional training. It allows for better communication, and a stronger bond! We recommend:
Chad and his team at Canine Revolution really top notch! They offer board and train programs, covering basic obedience all the way up to correcting extreme behavioral issues.
We have sent many dogs to Canine Revolution to get them in a position to be adoptable, which changed all of those pups lives for the better! He gives us a significant discount, which makes it possible for us to continuously help the pups that need it!
Alicia with Activate Canine Dog Training has quickly become an integral part of our team. She often takes dogs from us that have nowhere else to land.
Using a balanced, rewards-based training system, they have over a decade of combined experience getting pups to engage their best behaviors. From basic obedience to behavioral modifications, to training their human clients how to be the most consistent, 5-star companions, they’re here to set up you and your dog with all the tools to activate your best life ever.
Meagan is the owner of Au Pair for Paws and is amazing!! She is the premiere, in-home, private lesson, trainer in Charleston!
We have worked with Au Pair for Paws for years and she has really helped us with some dogs with challenging behavioral needs. Plus, she's always helped us completely pro-bono, which we will always be so grateful of! We couldn't recommend her enough!
Groomers
Unfortunately in rescue, we see a lot of dogs come in in pretty rough shape. Whether it be matted or missing fur, or just a generally filthy pup, grooming is very important-- especially for dogs with longer coats! We recommend:
Sarah and her team at Barks n Bubbles are the only people we trust with our babies! They always go above and beyond to work us in, knowing that a dog is in dire need of feeling better!
Most times, dogs in rescue have not had a quality grooming in their lives, so they are pretty timid, and sometimes even aggressive when on the grooming table. Sarah and her crew always take a patient, gentle approach, and our dogs always leave looking and feeling their best! Finally, her generosity is unmatched, Sarah has never once charged us, but we would pay a pretty penny for her services! 10/10 recommend!
