Who We Are
For over 20 years, Charlie Dieterich & Pet Haven of South Carolina, have rescued many thousands of dogs and cats.
*To fully understand what is meant by "rescue", please read the "what we do" section.
The time Charlie has devoted to saving animals is well beyond what
"Who We Are", is not a large group of people, with infinite time and resources.
"We", is Charlie – with the help of his wife, Gina, and his assistant, Robin.
Charlie has consistently and persistently sacrificed his time and resources, for the sake of animals. Every single day, for decades.
Charlie deserves a world of credit and support... but he won't even mention it, unless he is asked to. (like Here)
“And why should I believe this?"
I think it is vital to address that question, as there was a time that I myself, doubted. It is natural to be skeptical of anything or anyone, that has a "donate" button. Hey, the bad apples of the world have done a good job making us all skeptics.
"So, how can I be certain of the legitimacy of Pet Haven?"
I'm glad you asked. One simple phone call to the Wade Hampton Veterinarian Clinic, (the vet Charlie takes his rescues to), will do the trick.
(You can even the # click to call, if you're on a mobile phone.)
You could ask them something like, “About how many receipts for animal treatments, has SC Pet Haven had over the last few years. Ten? Fifty? Over a hundred?”.
It will not take much digging to realize: if SC Pet Haven doesn't deserve the community's trust and support... there is nobody who does.
“Who are you, anyway?"
Just a truster and supporter of SC Pet Haven.
What We Do
Charlie uses a trapping system, to cage animals - near restaurant dumpsters in alleyways, where homeless animals tend to seek food.
While the word "trapping", at first, may sound inhumane, the truth is entirely the opposite.
Charlie doesn't capture to kill, he captures to care.
Pet Haven ensures each dog or cat, without exception, is provided the following:
• prompt medical evaluation, vaccinations and all needed treatment from a licensed and certified veterinarian
• nourishment and ongoing practical care and shelter from the outdoors
• love, affection, attention, and socialization a clean bill of health and temperament, prior to being placed on our Current Adoptable Pets page
What We Do NOT Do
• We do not take owner surrendered animals, as this is not listed in our charter
• If it has to do with abuse, whether physical or psychological... yeah, we don't do that
• Leave animals outside and/or unattended - even when they're going to potty, they are watched. Of course, if they are embarrassed we will give them privacy, but that has not happened yet
When We Do It
That's a simple one:
consistently and persistently
all the time...
especially when it rains.
Where We Do It
Greenville, SC
Why We Do It
Greenville City Ordinance Code, Section 4-41 (d) -
"d) An impounded animal which remains unclaimed by an owner or keeper after five business days, shall be deemed abandoned and shall automatically and irrevocably become the sole property of the city to convey, devise or dispose of by euthanasia...."
Because "the final solution", is "not a solution".
