3. 10-foot python found roaming in Market Common (wbtw.com) — A 10-foot albino python was captured Monday night in the Market Common area of Myrtle Beach after a driver spotted it along the road, and wildlife experts say it was likely someone's escaped or released pet. The Snake Chaser safely removed the non-native snake and is temporarily housing it while waiting to see if an owner comes forward, while urging residents not to handle similar reptiles themselves.

Pilots to the Rescue transports 27 dogs from S.C. to N.J. for adoption (nj.com subscription) — Two local shelters in the Myrtle Beach area just sent 27 dogs north to a New Jersey adoption center, freeing up badly needed space for more at-risk animals here.
