Great clean facility. FOTAS ( Friends of the animal shelter) Today I had training and walked a sweet shelter dog. Adopted a dog in 2019 and knew this is a good shelter.

We have adopted ALL of our fur babies from the Aiken County Shelter over the last 8 years. We are absolutely thrilled with all the updated services and equipment and buildings. Thank God for F.O.T.A.S. (Friends of the Animal Shelter), Foster Families, Volunteers and of course, Loving Families that have adopted their pets from the Aiken County Animal Shelter!

The once anxious and timid “Ace”, has now become an amazing and absolutely loyal companion renamed "Rooster" since bringing him home! Despite his traumatic past and abandonment, I can tell the shelter staff showed him as much love as they could! The staff even recommended him despite him being the "timid" and "passed by" dog there. The staff, shared with us how the found him and his temperament which was helpful; they also gave us advice and a bit of education with adopting a dog with an abusive past. Adopting Rooster has been one of my best life choices!! As I type this, I’d love to thank you for rescuing my Rooster boy and not giving up on him. Enjoy these pictures of my forever good boy 🐓

I would continue to check out the closest animal rescue to you. Adopt A Pet is also a good resource. It is online and has variety. However you will be surprised what really good pets that are in your local shelter.

i’m 15 years old, will i be able to walk to the shelter and adopt a kitten? i stay right down the road too.

Chole Landd | Sep 5, 2020
Marissa Acosta | Sep 5, 2020

So, you have to be 18 to volunteer by yourself. If you are under 18 you have to have a legal guardian with you. If want to walk dogs the guardian has to have leash, if you want to pet kittens and cats you have to have your guardian supervise but you can handle them. You also have to be 18 years old or older to adopt.

I have a 16 year old dog who is near death. Do you all accept dog bodies? What hours and cost?

Billy Franke | Sep 6, 2019
Becky Rodgers | Sep 6, 2019

This question does not go directly to the animal shelter but to Google guide services. So you may want to call them to verify information. First, I am very sorry about your dog. I'm sure he brought you many years of joy. I do not believe that shelter provides the service of disposing of departed animals. However, all veterinary services do.

Can you guys come and pick them up, or do I have to bring them to you guys?

Jorim Israel | Sep 6, 2019
Marissa Acosta | Sep 6, 2019

If you would like to have an officer come and pick the dog/dogs up there will be a fee. I do believe it is $75, dont quote me on that. But if you come to the shelter there isnt a fee to surrender a stray, but if you've had the dog for more than 2 weeks it's a $15 surrender fee.

Do you guys take any kind of breeds

Jorim Israel | Sep 6, 2019
Becky Rodgers | Sep 6, 2019

This message does not go directly to the animal shelter but to a google map user forum. As someone who has used the animal shelter services I can tell you that that they do not breed discriminate. You can adopt and surrender all kinds of pure breeds and mixed breeds at this shelter. If you are still concerned you should call the shelter directly.

I am disabled and a female cat showed up with two young kittens. I've been feeding them but I am not able to have them fixed. I have no transportation and cannot drive. I need help for these kitties.

If he's that friendly, he'll probably come right to you. If you can, keep him and love him. Animals are very appreciative to those that are kind to them.
