David and Pam Varner, who relo- cated to Mount Pleasant from Florida, told me they needed a screened porch with a wide railing for their cats to lounge on. The two-story home they bought in Rivertowne Country Club suited them perfectly. Outdoor living spaces designed to meet pet’s needs and safety are im- portant considerations. With alliga- tors, snakes, coyotes and birds of prey sharing the same landscape, fenced yards and enclosed porches allow some measure of safety. Landscaping is also important. Many popular landscaping choices in Mount Pleasant are toxic to pets. These include elephant ears, oleanders, azaleas and poinsettias. The beautiful sago palm, which can be found on almost every street in the Lowcountry, is especially toxic if ingested by dogs, cats and even children. Homebuyers with pets are drawn to Mount Pleasant as a pet-friendly city. There are a multitude of hotels as well as outdoor dining, parks and venues that welcome pets. Walking dogs on the beach, the Pitt Street Bridge or Shem Creek Waterfront Park is a fa- vorite activity for many where pets are welcome. Leashed dogs are allowed on board the Charleston Water Taxi, which travels between Mount Pleas- ant and Charleston Harbor Marina — ideal transportation to Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square on Saturdays.
