The Family Vacation Rental Group (FVR) has donated more than 150 towels, blankets, and dog leashes to the Isle of Palms Animal Control Department.
“We are incredibly grateful for the donation of items to help the animals of Isle of Palms,” said Officer Sean Kittrell. “Support from our community partners ensures our success in our daily mission to serve all those who live, work, and visit our wonderful community.”
The Animal Control Division of the Isle of Palms Police Department enforces animal-related laws and ordinances while protecting and assisting both local wildlife and domestic pets. The division responds to reports of injured or diseased wildlife and transports them to appropriate facilities. One of the most common issues on the island involves off-leash or runaway dogs.
“I would like to remind the community to make sure their dogs wear collars and tags so we can quickly identify the owner and verify the dog’s vaccination status,” Kittrell said.
FVR, a newly formed coalition of 25 local and professionally managed vacation rental companies, aims to improve communication and livability for Isle of Palms residents. The group is committed to being a responsible and caring member of the community.
“By working together, we can create a harmonious environment that benefits both residents and vacationers who love and cherish IOP,” the group stated. “Thank you for welcoming us as your neighbors—we look forward to working together to keep our island a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.”
