Charleston County Animal Services: (843) 554-4700

Animal ControlThis is the government animal control services operating in Charleston County and sponsored by the city of Charleston. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call (843) 554-4700 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Charleston, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.


Charleston Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic: 843-723-1748

RehabberThis is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Charleston Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.


South Carolina Wildlife Commission: 843-953-5291

Game WardenThis is the statewide government wildlife agency in South Carolina, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the South Carolina Fish & Wildlife Agency. South Carolina game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in South Carolina perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.


Charleston Police Department: 843-577-7434

PoliceYes, the Charleston police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Charleston, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

Charleston Wildlife Tip:
Copperhead information -Copperheads are pit vipers and have received that title due to the heat-sensing pits located on their face. Like other vipers, the copperhead stalks its prey using these pits rather than relying on its visual capabilities. When people speak of the characteristics of venomous snakes, they are referring to a triangular head, cat-like pupils, and heat-sensing pits. Not all venomous snakes fall have those characteristics, and the coral snake actually has none of those. Copperheads, however, do fall into that broad description. These snakes live in most regions around North America. Of all the pit vipers, copperhead venom is said to be the least dangerous. The poison can certainly kill a person, but the snake rarely injects that much into an attacker. If humans were seen as prey animals then yes, the copperhead snake could easily kill a human. The lack of venom in a strike is a defense mechanism geared toward buying the snake time to escape from an attacker. Unlike humans, animals see to lack the inclination to kill needlessly. The copperhead's name comes from the reddish coloration on the top of the animal's head.
