Meet the boy
who started
it all.
Seven years ago I rescued a gentle soul whose impact changed my life. What began as saving one dog grew into a dedicated mission: helping dogs find safety, love, and forever homes. Because of him, By the Beach Animal Rescue was founded.
Every dog deserves a second chance and love.
A new rescue with a simple mission
Rescue
Giving dogs in need a safe path off the streets and out of shelters.
Rehabilitate
Medical care, training, and love until every dog is ready to thrive.
Rehome
Thoughtful matches with families committed for the long haul.
Community
Built in Myrtle Beach by neighbors, fosters, and volunteers like you.

All dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, heartworm-tested, and microchipped before adoption.
Behavior Evaluated
Each dog is temperament tested and matched to families based on lifestyle, home size, and other pets.
Ongoing Support

The families who took a chance — and never looked back.
"Jennifer is one of the most caring and dedicated people I have ever met. She gives 100% to the Rescue Babies, Volunteers and Fosters. I'm looking forward to being apart of By The Beach Animal Rescue. This is going to be an amazing journey. She's more than a leader. She has also become an amazing inspiration and friend."
"Jennifer is just a loving and kind person who goes over and above for her fur babies and those who foster and adopt. I have had the pleasure of working with her in both fostering many dogs and now I am the proud owner of my own adopted girl that has gotten her forever home and has completed my home."
"Jennifer helped us with everything needed when adopting from awesome veterinarian care for the dogs to food, crates, bowls and leashes. Please, follow your heart and let Jennifer and her team from "By the Beach" Animal Rescue find you a great family member."
