Campaign

In 2008, more than 23,000 companion animals entered the municipal animal shelters in Richland and Lexington counties. More than 19,000 of these animals were euthanized. What we are all about is reducing that number to zero. That's the dream, and we're going to make it a reality. A giant leap in that direction was the ground-breaking Aug. 12 on our new facility on Bower Parkway - the Meyer-Finlay Pet Adoption Center of Lexington and Richland Counties.

The Issue

Each year in Richland and Lexington Counties more than 23,000 dogs and cats enter two main municipal shelters, and each year over 19,000 of those same dogs and cats are put to death. There is another way.

Volunteer

Donations of time are a gift of life, and we are so very grateful that you would consider giving of yourself in this way. There are many opportunities to give your time, so that you can make a difference in a pet's life today.
