Very nice and genuine individuals who want good homes for their animals. I adopted my new cat “Halle” from this shelter and she has come out of her shell quite quickly.

Curious if this is a kill shelter? I am looking for a kill shelter to adopt a cat that is on a kill list. If you know a shelter can you tell me the name?

kris leahey | Sep 19, 2021

I dont think they accept cats you can try the SPCA or Humane Society in Columbia

Donna Wahl | Sep 19, 2020

We have over 100 ferell cats around my home. What can be done to reduce the population?

You can borrow traps from animal control; some vets offices lend them out; Pawmetto Lifeline and Pets, Inc. may lend out traps, or you can buy your own online, or at Tractor Supply for about $25. The traps are humane traps, and do not harm the cats, Elaine Taylor. It is not feasible to "send the cats to new homes" if they are feral. The best solution fir ferals is to trap them humanely and take them to be fixed. If you live within City if West Columbia, call Safe Cats Coalition - they have a website and Facebook page. They can help with trapping and will fix and return them free of charge. The City of Columbia and Richland County each have their own Community Cat programs to help with trapping and to fix free of charge. Pawmetto Lifeline handlea all feral and community cat spay neuter for Lexington county residents - see instructions on county website under animal services and in Pawmetto's website. Hiw-to onfo at www.neighborhoodcats.com or www.alleycat.org

Is this where you take a dog for adoption that you can no longer take care of?

Sharon Tatum | Sep 20, 2018
Elaine Taylor | Sep 20, 2018

Yes you can always return animals , but they only get two chances before death row. Try to find a different owner, returning a pet should always be a last resort. Thanks for asking!!

Can we go or call here if there is a lost dog?

Minebuoyyy Productionz | Sep 20, 2018
John Blackman III | Sep 20, 2018

Yes. If it's a stray. They gold it for five days. If the dog is microchipped, that much better. Since they're required to scan all dogs coming in for chips. Your best bet is to go there and look. With over 10,000 animals a year coming in. Descriptions can be sketchy. Tell the John Blackman sent you

Mark Matthews | Sep 20, 2018

If you encounter this, it is best to call the sheriff to break the glass. Don't know if it is illegal, but the police can rescue the animal.

I have several items I'd like to donate to your shelter. I've got collars, leashes, comforters, food and more. I'm not sure of the protocol for donations..Is there a certain time to drop them off? Should I wash the comforters before I bring them? TY

Tony Brummett | Apr 22, 2022

You can drop off any time after 9 AM. Washing the comforters would be nice but its not necessary.

If they are destroying your property then animal control services will give them a warning. After that they will take the steps to remove the animals.

Sonja Sharpe | Sep 19, 2020
Minxy Doll | Sep 19, 2020

Sonja Sharpe, call PAWMETTO LIFELINE! Tell them what's happening and even call the sheriff, police and county representatives! We have a foothold in this because we pay taxes which support and sustain these organizations that are existing to HELP US. I'm deeply sorry for the animals and your mother.

I drive pass this house everyday on the way to work and back, and they have their maybe 8 pound dog outside chained up 24/7. is that illegal and can I report them? They never bring the dog in. Even when it gets below freezing and pours down rain.

Brooke Beauparlant | Sep 20, 2018
John Blackman III | Sep 20, 2018

If there is no doghouse available. You can call it in as a possible neglect case. It is the only complaint you can make anonymously. You need a house number, description of house and animal and where in yard it is located. I've had cases overturned due to a tree there that provides shade and cover from rain. Its not usual. But, the judge will usually rule in Animal Controls favor and a good officer will have photos. But, don't expect immediate compliance. The officer must first tag the house with a warning and if they don't comply. He can write them a citation to appear in court

Jenna Roland | Sep 20, 2018
John Blackman III | Sep 20, 2018

If your willing to allow a trap on your property. They will p/u any animals trapped on a daily basis. They cannot keep coming back the same day unless the ACO is close. Otherwise, you would have to cover trap until next day.

Can you volunteer to help out like playing with the dogs here?

Morgan D | Sep 20, 2018
John Blackman III | Sep 20, 2018

No, the thought is appreciated. But, it is a matter of liability of injury. Sorry
