Operation Care (Carolina Animal Rescue Effort)

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.

The York, South Carolina-based non-profit organization Richardson Rescue is devoted to upholding the value of all living things. We work to equip owners with a better understanding of pet care, prevent pet neglect and abuse, and provide a reduced cost spay/neuter program for those who cannot afford it, all while striving to find a permanent home for every pet that comes to us. 501C3-designated Richardson Animal Rescue is a publicly supported, non-profit organization.

Supplying a safe sanctuary for animals from nearby high-kill shelters and coordinating transportation to secure rescue organizations in other US states. To lower the euthanasia rate, we collaborate with the shelters.

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

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.
