Palmetto Kennels

The Lancaster South Carolina Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LSPCA), a nonprofit animal rescue group, was established in 2013 and is wholly supported by private donors and business sponsors.

The Lancaster County Animal Shelter's main duty is to care for and house abandoned and stray animals. An animal becomes the property of Lancaster County and is made available for adoption to animal rescue organizations and the general public if it is not claimed following a 5-day stray hold. If your animal is brought to the shelter, there is a reclaim fee. To adopt from the shelter, you DO NOT need to live in Lancaster County.

Our goals include preventing animal suffering, encouraging spaying and neutering to reduce animal overpopulation, educating the public about animal care, and finding forever homes for adoptable animals.

We are a team of volunteers that banded together in 2012 and saved over 250 cats from an ineffective rescue.

You and your family can choose from a broad selection of possible pets at our shelter. The majority of our animals are either stray animals or pets that their owners no longer wanted to care for. The affordable cost of spaying and neutering as well as the confidence that your new pet has already gotten initial vaccines against contagious diseases are just two of the numerous advantages of adopting from our County Animal Shelter.

Our kennel is a tiny 13-acre Doxie hotel with furnished rooms, lots of dog beds, toys, and dog doors leading out to the yards.
