Looking for the perfect gift this holiday season? How about the hottest and best-selling Firefighter Calendar, which also helps save abused and abandoned animals? Yes, please…

The Charleston Firefighter Calendar, 2017’s hottest calendar, will heat up your holidays and for all the right reasons. Fifteen handsome heroes pose with 15 adorable rescues to save thousands of at-risk animals. Just like the dedicated members of the Greater Charleston Fire Departments, the most important thing the Charleston Animal Society does is save lives.

Charleston Animal Society

Established in 1874 by leading Charlestonians, Charleston Animal Society is the oldest animal organization in the state of South Carolina and one of the first in the nation. To achieve their mission of preventing cruelty to animals, Charleston Animal Society focused on horses and livestock, since at the time they were used for a number of activities. Dogs and cats began garnering the attention of Charleston Animal Society and other SPCAs after the turn of the 20th century; however, addressing the plight of large animals, particularly horses, continues to be a priority of Charleston Animal Society.

In 2013, the Animal Society launched the boldest animal rescue initiative ever undertaken in the Southeast – No Kill Charleston 2015 – to build the first no-kill community in the Deep South. Remarkably achieving this in the first year, Charleston Animal Society saved every healthy and treatable animal. The success of this initiative inspired the Animal Society to launch No Kill South Carolina, the boldest grassroots animal initiative in the United States, aimed at building a statewide infrastructure of supporting communities to strive for no-kill initiatives on a local level.

Toby’s Fund

Toby’s Fund is Charleston Animal Society’s medical fund and provides the medical care and treatment to save injured, abused, neglected and abandoned animals. Toby was a beautiful Golden Retriever mix who came to Charleston Animal Society years ago suffering from chemical burns over a large portion of his body. Despite his dire condition, the medical team saw the fight in his eyes and proceeded with weeks of intense treatment. He bounced back stronger than ever and was quickly adopted by a loving, new family. His story inspired those at the Charleston Animal Society, just like so many of the other animals that now benefit from the fund named in his honor. As they continue to treat the most difficult cases of animal abuse and neglect throughout Charleston County, there simply aren’t enough dollars to keep up with the volume of medical needs without the annual Firefighter Calendar. The calendar allows the Charleston Animal Society to save lives at the capacity that they do and financially sustain the no-kill community.

Caitlyn’s Story

On May 27, 2015, Caitlyn was found wandering the streets in a North Charleston neighborhood with her muzzle wrapped in electrical tape and her tongue sticking out, blackened from a lack of blood-flow, prompting a concerned citizen to call 911. The Charleston Animal Society team immediately responded to her injuries with the emergency care that she required. Once stabilized, she was transferred to Veterinary Specialty Care where cutting-edge veterinary technology and reconstructive surgery helped save and restore Caitlyn’s muzzle. Her recovery was amazing but she’ll always carry the scars from her trauma.

Caitlyn’s story and road to recovery captured the hearts of millions around the world. She became the face of anti-cruelty efforts across the country and an ambassador for all shelter animals. In 2015, Caitlyn was just one of the 273 cruelty cases Charleston Animal Society was involved in. They developed a multi-pronged approach to help with this problem and, in her honor, launched Caitlyn’s Anti-Cruelty Fund. If you’d like to join Caitlyn in the fight to protect animals and prosecute those who abuse them, you can donate at CharlestonFirefighterCalendar.com/Caitlyn.

“There is no quick fix when it comes to horses,” said Samantha Wolfram, a 22-year-old equestrian professional. “You can’t flip a switch and the horse comes out broke and is easy to ride.” For most equestrians, this statement is a testament to the grit and reality of the horse business—there are no easy roads to establishing your career. But for Samantha, using her risk-taking, talent and ambition while riding and living abroad is helping set her up for success. 

Growing up an only child in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, Samantha received her first pony at the age of 2 thanks to her mother, who was a horse trainer. “My mom got me a pony like what you see at the fair. However, he was a bad pony—or what I like to call ‘character building,’” she said. Her early start riding was a gift unto itself and by 5, Samantha was jumping crossrails. She was committed to riding until the age of 8, when another sport became her focus. “I was at an age where I wanted to fit in, and being a crazy horse girl did not help with being popular,” Samantha shared.

At 78 years young, Barry Olliff doesn’t intend t At 78 years young, Barry Olliff doesn’t intend to take it easy during his golden years. Inspired by his horse-loving wife, Cyndy, Barry is devoting his retirement to create “A Gathering Place” for anyone who needs one at their Stable View Equestrian facility in Aiken, South Carolina.

Barry and Cyndy have transformed their parcel of land, originally a quail-hunting lodge, into a facility that welcomes equestrians, corporate retreats, weddings, ecotourists and local community members. “This all came about through a fortuitous set of circumstances, with good partnerships, an open and welcoming community and, most of all, our willingness to go where the land led us,” Barry said.

Barry believes fate and good luck have played a big factor in Cyndy’s and his life. “We’ve been in the right place at the right time and fortunate enough to take the right fork in the road when there were choices,” he said. “As we’ve gotten older, we’ve felt it’s up to us to give back. We need to provide opportunities for people to use Stable View however they see fit.”

world of equestrian sports. For so many event riders, this venue is an iconic destination that they 
dream about competing at, and I strongly believe it’s the perfect venue to host the American 
Eventing Championships (AECs). While I’m slightly biased because it’s my home event, I really 
believe that this is the best location for the AECs to be held each year.
