Waccamaw Animal Rescue Mission

Website Address is: www.warmfarms.org

Waccamaw Animal Rescue Mission, known as WARM, is a non-profit NO-KILL animal refuge. Animals at WARM are euthanized only as the last resort - when their pain and suffering cannot be alleviated. All animals are given every possible chance for life. WARM rescues and rehabilitates wildlife, farm and domestic animals. Domestic animals are adopted into new, loving forever homes. Farm animals are adopted to small family farms and wildlife is returned to the wild away from human habitation. Those animals that cannot be released or are not adopted live out their lives at WARM.

WARM is a local organization and operates solely on fundraising events, community support and private donations. It is not supported by any city or county tax grant funding. WARM is dedicated to helping animals and is working hard to alleviate the suffering of the strays, the abandoned and the abused. Saving lives is what WARM is all about.


Cullen's Archangel Rescue, Inc.

www.caretoadopt.org

Cullen's Archangel RescuE, Inc. (CARE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit no-kill animal rescue group. CARE was formed in late 2003. Our mission is to educate the community, help animals in need, decrease the amount of strays in our community, and provide shelter for animals who are in need of adoption; including those who are considered 'non-adoptable'. While most of the animals we rescue are cats and dogs, we also rescue farm animals and exotic pets such as birds, reptiles, and rodents. We do not have a physical shelter. All of our animals stay in foster homes until they are adopted into forever homes.


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 .

Out of Harm's Way Small Dog Rescue

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.

Heart Worm Project

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

www.projectpet.com

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.
