For the first time in history, animal shelters and rescues across South Carolina are joining together to hold “Pick Me SC,” a statewide adoption event from Oct. 5-7. This massive lifesaving mission is sponsored by the Petco Foundation and organized by No Kill South Carolina. Shelters throughout the state are participating, including Palmetto Animal League (PAL) in Okatie.

Area residents can be a part of this adoption event from noon to 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct, 5, and Saturday, Oct. 6, by visiting PAL's Adoption Center. During “Pick Me SC,” PAL will offer half-price adoptions for all pets, plus the first 10 cat and dog adopters will receive a special gift bag featuring products to help them get started caring for their pet.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>
