Newberry County Animal Care and Control
www.newberrycounty.net
We are a county funded animal shelter that also serves as the animal control
for our county. Our officers work on the road during the day doing welfare
checks on animal neglect complaints that are filed by citizens. Our staff
at the shelter does the intake process for unwanted animals or strays that
people
find, and are also responsible for the adoption process for all animals placed.
Please give us a call for more information or visit our website at www.newberrycounty.net
to see our available animals.

Humane Society of Lancaster County located in Lancaster County, South Carolina.
Located in the northeastern part of the state, Lancaster is about 40 miles directly south of Charlotte, North Carolina, and about 70 miles northeast of Columbia, South Carolina. Lancaster County has never had a Humane Society.
Since 1991, our community has only had a high-kill shelter that is run by the county government. It processes about 5,500 animals yearly, and unfortunately, 96% of those animals are euthanized due to low adoption rates in our county, poor marketing, and lack of breeding restrictions.
We are so hopeful for positive change. One of the goals of our new society is to tap into existing rescues and transports. Over the past few years, more breed specific rescues have pulled from our animal control facility which only has 24 runs that constantly stay full. The only requirement to pull animals AT NO CHARGE from the Lancaster County Animal Shelter is to have a current 501C3 statement on file. Otherwise, the adoption rate is very low: $10 adoption fee (handling fee) and $40 refundable spay/neuter deposit which is refunded from the county Treasurer's office once proof of sterilization is mailed back to the shelter.
We are aggressively seeking ways to transport as many animals to
various rescues as possible, and would love to learn where these transports
originate. Any information on how we can access these networks would be
much appreciated. Please know that at least 70% of the dogs that come through
our local
shelter are healthy, young, adoptable animals that simply have nowhere
else to go. Many are young females in their first heat cycles. It is
very sad to see.
We invite you to visit our current website www.savelancasterpets.org to
view some of the adoptable animals. Also, we invite you to contact us
with any helpful information so that we can achieve much lower
euthanasia rates at our local shelter. Our president, Bob Hunter, can be
reached at bobsmo@gmail.com . Our Vice President, B.J. Mishoe, can be

Out of Harm's
Way Small Dog Rescue
www.outofharmsway.tripod.com
PetFinder Link: Out of Harms Way
The Out of Harm's Way mission is to improve the lives of homeless, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs through our rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing efforts. We endeavor to remove them from harms way by pulling them from kill shelters, taking them in through owner surrenders, providing for their immediate medical needs, evaluating their behavioral and social needs, then finding suitable placements for them so that they may live out the remainder of their lives happy, healthy, and well loved. We seek to show all these animals the love and respect they deserve that comes through humane care, heartfelt compassion, and the touch of human kindness.
When our dogs are placed, Out of Harm's Way requires an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. We hold this as a legal and binding contract between the rescue and the adoptive family insuring the future well being of their new family member.
Out of Harm's Way also requires an adoption fee with each adoption so that our rescue may cover the inevitable costs involved in pulling, vetting, maintaining, and placing these needy dogs. Each new rescue dog requires a hefty financial outlay. Adoption fees enable us to continue our rescue efforts by supporting ongoing expenses and provide reimbursement for the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and any veterinary care required prior to placement, and in most instances, even travel costs.
In all cases, the expenses related to a particular dog will be covered by the set adoption fee. While the adoption fees may seem higher for some dogs, please remember that our rescue has invested tons of time, effort, and money into all these dogs. We simply must recoup this investment in order to continue rescuing needy animals. You may also consider that if a higher adoption fee is beyond your means, you may need to consider a pet which does not require as much care and expense as a dog. However, keep in mind, the normal care and upkeep of any pet requires an ongoing financial outlay.
OOHW is a group of independent rescuers working together in a regional rescue network. We are based, for the most part, in Charlotte, NC and Spartanburg, SC. However, we have volunteers all over NC/SC and as far away as Virginia and Alaska.

Call us at 803-473-4481 or e-mail us at lacyjanefoundation@yahoo.com!
Our web address is http://www.heartwormproject.org. We have links to some of our before and afters (Extreme Makeovers link) as well as links to our animals that are included on Petfinder.com. We have also included a link to Dogs in Danger (at the bottom of the home page) in the hopes that some of these animals that are running out of time might be saved.
The Heartworm Project is a volunteer, non-profit corporation that provides
medical care for shelter animals in need. Founded in 2004, the
original purpose was to treat heartworm positive dogs at local shelters who
were scheduled to be euthanized because of their illness.
Since inception, we have expanded to include dogs and cats of all ages who
need medical intervention that shelters are not capable of
providing.
Project Pet believes companion pets have value beyond economic measurement
and are entitled to legal, moral and ethical
consideration. Our mission is to form a federation of like-minded organizations
and individuals to alleviate animal suffering; set safe and
humane standards for companion pets and shelters; and educate and increase
awareness of the necessity for spaying and neutering to
reduce the overall number of unwanted companion pets, eventually reducing the
need for euthanasia. A self-sustaining
Education/Adoption Center will be established to fulfill our vision of creating
a community that will assist, develop, promote and
strengthen the quality of life for our companion animals.
We are a small group responding to a need for compassionate care of injured
and mistreated animals.
We have two small farms devoted to rehabilitation of animals, and can accept
anything from horses to hamsters. We accept and work with all breeds. We have
limited facility for cats/kittens, but can usually find fosters. Maranatha Farm
is a 501(c)(3) Organization
