Ways to Help

Compassionate Rescue

Compassionate care. Responsible approach.

We are a volunteer-led, private, nonprofit dedicated to providing shelter and care to stray, unwanted, or abandoned cats and dogs in the Richland County area. Our shelter houses cats and kittens in a safe, clean, well-managed, cage-free facility. Dogs are socialized in foster homes for their transition into forever families.
