Monarch Roofing Donation Aids Overwhelmed Myrtle Beach Animal Rescue

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – May 05, 2026 – As All 4 Paws Animal Rescue confronts the challenge of operating at full capacity, a local business has stepped up once again to provide critical support. Monarch Roofing has announced the donation of a second new roof for the animal rescue, a significant contribution that will shelter an expansion designed to meet the ever-increasing demand for animal care in the Myrtle Beach region.

This latest act of corporate philanthropy builds on a previous donation in 2024, when Monarch Roofing provided a new roof for the rescue's main campus facility. The 2026 donation will cover a newly constructed building that will house additional indoor kennels, a crucial infrastructure upgrade for an organization stretched to its limits. In addition to the roof, the company also contributed $500 for essential supplies, further easing the operational burden on the non-profit.

The announcement arrives just as All 4 Paws launches a major fundraising campaign during Palmetto Giving Day on May 5–6, where it aims to raise $90,000 to continue its expansion and life-saving services. Monarch's contribution provides both a physical shield for the animals and a powerful kickstart to this community-wide effort.

A Lifeline for Paws in Need

For All 4 Paws, the term "full capacity" is not just a logistical challenge; it represents a heartbreaking reality where every kennel is occupied, and the ability to take in more desperate animals is severely constrained. The organization, a no-kill rescue, serves as a vital safety net, primarily pulling animals from high-kill shelters where their time is limited. It also provides refuge for lost, abandoned, and surrendered pets from the community.

The impact of their work is staggering. To date, All 4 Paws has rescued over 20,000 dogs and cats, successfully placing more than 13,000 in loving forever homes and transferring over 7,600 to other partner rescues. The new expansion, now securely roofed by Monarch, will directly increase the number of animals that can be saved. More indoor kennels mean more dogs and cats can be moved from precarious situations into a safe, rehabilitative environment while they await adoption.

Beyond rehoming, the organization is a pillar of community support. In 2025 alone, All 4 Paws distributed over 14,000 pounds of pet food to low-income families struggling to feed their pets and funded more than 400 free or low-cost spay and neuter surgeries to address the root causes of pet overpopulation.

The Widening Crisis in Animal Welfare

The situation at All 4 Paws is a local symptom of a national crisis. Animal shelters across the country are facing immense pressure. While the COVID-19 pandemic initially saw a surge in adoptions, that trend has reversed, with surrenders now on the rise. According to the ASPCA, an estimated 6.3 million animals enter U.S. shelters annually, while only 4.1 million are adopted, leaving a growing population of homeless pets.

In South Carolina, the aggregate save rate for shelters was a commendable 84% in 2021, but the sheer volume of incoming animals—nearly 104,000 that year—places relentless strain on resources. Horry County, in particular, has historically faced challenges with high intake and euthanasia rates at its open-intake facilities. While progress has been made toward achieving "no-kill" status, the pressure is displaced onto non-profit rescues like All 4 Paws, which are constantly asked to do more.

These rescues operate on tight budgets, relying heavily on donations and volunteers. When a major infrastructure need like a new roof arises, it can threaten their ability to perform their core mission. This is what makes Monarch Roofing's targeted, repeated support so impactful.

More Than a Roof: A Model of Corporate Citizenship

Monarch Roofing's partnership with All 4 Paws demonstrates a deep, long-term commitment to its community that extends far beyond a single press release. The company has woven corporate social responsibility into the fabric of its business model.

"Our partnership with All 4 Paws Animal Rescue reflects our commitment to the communities we serve," said Joe Riddle, General Manager of Monarch Roofing and a Myrtle Beach community member. "Their mission to rescue and care for animals in need is vital to this region. We are proud to support their growth and help expand their capacity to serve more animals."

This philosophy is evident across the company's diverse philanthropic portfolio. Monarch Roofing actively supports local cancer centers, providing aid for patient transportation, wigs, and screenings. Through its "3 Degree Partnership" with a local weather authority, it generates quarterly donations for various charities. The company's "Roofs for Veterans" program has provided dozens of free roofs to former service members. It also supports Habitat for Humanity and sponsors numerous local events.

Furthermore, Monarch's Community Give Back Program incentivizes its own customers to participate in philanthropy, offering discounts on roof replacements in exchange for donations of food to organizations like BackPack Buddies. This multi-pronged approach showcases a sustained strategy of investing in the well-being of the communities where its employees live and work.

A Community Call to Action

While Monarch Roofing's contribution provides a significant boost, the leaders at All 4 Paws emphasize that the need for community-wide support remains urgent. The organization's $90,000 goal for Palmetto Giving Day is essential for funding the next phase of its expansion and covering the immense costs of veterinary care, food, and daily operations.

Palmetto Giving Day, an annual 36-hour online giving event hosted by the Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation, has become a powerhouse for philanthropy in the region, raising over $4.1 million for 83 organizations in 2024. For participating non-profits like All 4 Paws, it offers a critical opportunity to engage with donors and benefit from matching funds that can double the impact of a gift.

Community members wishing to help can participate in Palmetto Giving Day, donate directly via the All 4 Paws website, or purchase essential items from the organization's Amazon Wish List, which includes everything from pet food and cleaning supplies to toys and medical necessities. Every contribution, large or small, helps keep the doors open and the mission moving forward, ensuring that a safe kennel is waiting for the next animal in need.
