1. In Honor of America's 250th Anniversary, Charleston Animal Society Seeks Homes for 250 Animals (holycitysinner.com) — Charleston Animal Society is marking America’s 250th anniversary by aiming to place 250 pets in new homes, with reduced $25 adoption fees (except puppies) through July 3 at its North Charleston Remount Road campus and Moncks Corner location. All animals are fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and behavior-tested, giving North Charleston families an affordable way to adopt a ready-to-go companion. 
2. Summerville man who posed as missionary accused of harassing residents, police say (counton2.com) — North Charleston police arrested a 21-year-old Summerville man after two consecutive days of alleged harassment at an apartment complex on Evangeline Drive, where he reportedly posed as a missionary and tried to force his way inside. Officers intercepted him as he attempted to leave the complex, and he now faces two first-degree harassment charges. No injuries were reported, but residents acted quickly to stay safe.
3. Leatherman Terminal cargo will shift to North Charleston and Wando Welch during pause (abcnews4.com) — Cargo normally handled at the Leatherman Terminal will soon be rerouted mainly through the North Charleston Terminal, with extra capacity at Wando Welch, as port officials pause Leatherman operations to cut costs. Leaders stress this is temporary and say customers shouldn’t see major disruptions, though economists and lawmakers link the move to softer global demand and trade tensions.
