Animal Protection League of South Carolina

We walked in and before giving us a chance to even look at any dogs or introduce herself she looked at my family and said she didn't recommend we get a dog because of our baby who is 6 months. That makes no sense, if she had gotten to know us she would know that most people when they have dogs keep the baby away from the dogs so they can roam freely . Why would we let a dog all up on a baby? And are you saying you have aggressively dogs that you shouldn't be adopting out? And it you don't know how your dogs would act towards our baby what about the other 2 kids ? Idk trying to figure out if she saw that we are black and just immediate didn't want to adopt to us because of how we looked. Again no introduction, wasn't greeted with a smile or a handshake, wasn't offered an application process

Founded in 1982, this was the first no-kill shelter in the midlands. They rely on volunteers and donations to support the organization. They have many dogs and cats up for adoption that would make wonderful additions to a family. Unfortunately, some of these dogs/cats have been at the shelter for years, so an adoption into a loving home would be a dream come true for these guys. I highly recommend you check out their website for available dogs and cats to adopt.

I adopted 2 black cats that were brother and sister over 2 years ago. They have been such a blessing and APL has checked in on them. Their names were Minnie and Mickey but we renamed them Meeps and Mars. Mars is the man of the house and loves to talk. Meeps is the sweetest thing ever. I can't thank APL enough. They have been such a blessing.

My husband and I adopted two adorable kitten brothers from this shelter. The manager, Zsofia, was one of the only rescues who reached out to me about adoption when I inquired. She accommodated us early when we came for a visit and was very thorough in making sure the kittens were going to go to a good home. We could tell she really works hard and cares for all of the animals there. The entire adoption experience was wonderful and all of the animals there are so sweet. I would definitely recommend adopting your next fur baby from this rescue/shelter.

“Amazing Animal Shelter with Compassionate Staff!” I can’t say enough good things! From the moment I walked in, it was clear that the staff truly care about the animals and their well-being. The facility was clean, well-organized, and the animals were all healthy, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful! If you’re looking to adopt or support an animal shelter, I highly recommend. You can tell they’re making a real difference in the lives of these animals and the families who adopt them!
