Lexington County Animal Services

The goal of CARE is to offer veterinary care, shelter, and forever families for animals in need, especially those who are deemed "undesirable" or "non-adoptable." It also aims to reduce the number of stray animals and owner-returned pets.

Over $3 million in taxes are spent annually in an effort to reduce the number of stray animal populations. In Lexington and Richland Counties, there were approximately 26,000 homeless dogs and cats entering municipal shelters at the time Pawmetto Lifeline launched in 1999, and 96% of these animals were routinely put to death due to a lack of knowledge and resources. Most of these animals are healthy, treatable, and adoptable. The leaders of Pawmetto Lifeline have developed a solution due to the lack of resources in the Midlands and the conviction that killing a domesticated population in order to manage it is morally wrong.

Patricia McQueen and Jane Brundage established PETSinc in December 1991 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization serving the Midlands of South Carolina.

Welcome to Columbia, South Carolina's A Paw's Paradise, LLC! We are a dog daycare and boarding facility that accepts dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

In order to meet a need for the animal rescue community, Final Victory Animal Rescue and Rescue Services was established in May 2017.
