Low-Cost Veterinary Care

Shelter From the Storm Animal Rescue, Inc. was form in 2005 by Allison Davies in response to the overwhelming amount of animals being euthanized in area shelters. Shelter From The Storm is an all breed cat and dog rescue and focuses on alleviating overcrowding in shelters and helping adoptable/treatable animals. Since its inception, Shelter from the Storm helped the Humane Society of the United States during Hurricane Katrina by transporting over 100 animals to safety in Wisconsin, where they were vetted, placed in foster care and ultimately place in forever homes. We also worked with the HSUS in dealing with a local hoarding situation at the Thyme and Sage Ranch in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Thyme and Sage was operating as an animal rescue and as the animal control agency for that area, but was housing in excess of 300 animals. Many of our pets are placed into a home environment with a suitable foster home. Here they begin basic training, receive socialization, and learn what it's like to live in a home. We also attend to their medical needs including vaccinations, heartworm testing, feline leukemia/FIV testing, deworming, and flea/tick prevention. In 2008, in furtherance of its mission, Spay Me! Clinic was opened. Dr. Richard Brown, Elizabeth Yohn, CVT, and Allison Davies, have all performed high volume spay/neuter procedures in a variety of locations and settings and used their knowledge to set up Spay Me! Clinic. At the beginning, surgeries were performed once a week and gradually expanded to six days a week by the end of 2009. Currently, we have two veterinarians, two certified veterinary technicians and several highly trained veterinary assistants on staff. We also utilized volunteers from the general public, volunteer veterinarians, and CVT's. Our clinic provides a great educational setting for veterinary and veterinary technician students who want to learn more about shelter medicine and high volume spay/neuter procedures. Spay Me! Clinic is open to the public, but a main element of the clinic is to extend a helping hand to other rescues and shelters by offering spay/neuter services at a lower cost. Since we are also a rescue, we understand the importance of running a business and keeping costs down. Our veterinarians and staff have become skilled in high volume spay/neuter procedures and continue to expand their skill set. Additional procedures have gradually been added and now include dentals, amputations, foreign object removals, and ACL repairs, to name a few. These "special" procedures are reserved for shelters, rescues, and individuals that have a financial need. Currently we are spaying and neutering over 12,000 dogs and cats every year. Shelter from the Storm is a Madison, WI based non-profit, all breed dog and cat rescue whose mission is to reduce the euthanasia rate of healthy and adoptable animals and to improve the lives of companion animals. ​ We do this by: *Finding permanent home for animals in need *Providing support to communities who do not have access to humane organizations *Educating the public on responsible pet ownership *Providing access to affordable spay, neuter and veterinary care.

Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is a corporate non-profit 501 (c) (3), no kill, all volunteer organization founded to “Help Stop the Endless Cycle” of unwanted cats in Horry County: feral, homeless, abandoned, abused and neglected, through no fault of their own. Adoptable cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, receive veterinary care as needed, and are nurtured until a forever and loving home is found. We advocate and support Trap-Neuter-Release Feed (TNRF) programs and work with local veterinarians to provide low spay/neuter services to those cat owners who are unable to afford medical treatment. Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is dependent entirely on the public’s generosity through donations. Fundraising efforts and events are initiated with the sole purpose of providing a better quality of life for all cats. What We Do:
Volunteers educate the public to encourage the spaying/neutering of cats in order to reduce the senseless number of cats and kittens euthanized daily. We provide a low cost spay/neuter program for anyone needing assistance in getting feral or friendly cats spayed/neutered. Spay/neutering, Rabies vaccination, worming and flea treatment for $45 for male & $55 for females.

It is recommended that Feral cats are ear-tipped for identification purposes and returned to their colony and is included in cost of spay/neuter, there is no additional cost. Cats that are suitable for adoption are tested for feline leukemia (FELV) and feline aids (FIV), wormed, provided flea treatment, spayed/neutered, receive distemper vaccinations, etc., to assure that they are healthy and sociable. If you need help in trapping a feral cat, we can lend you traps and some assistance in trapping. Foster homes are provided for friendly, domesticated cats and kittens until a permanent honey is found. Volunteers trap and transport feral/free roaming cats to one of our low cost spay/neuter clinics where they are sterilized and given their rabies vaccinations. Feral cats are ear-tipped for identification purposes and returned to their colony. Additional medical care is rendered as needed. Feral colonies are monitored daily by volunteers and provided with fresh food and water so that they remain healthy. Feral kittens are fostered and nurtured in a loving home in order to acclimate them for adoption. Cats that are in a dangerous or abused and neglected situation are relocated to a safe environment after receiving preventative veterinary care. Our Goals:
Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is relentless in protecting the feline population in the Horry County area. Dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted cats and kittens through adoptions, we aim to provide a safe and secure sanctuary where homeless and unadoptable cats will be able to live out their remaining years in a safe and sheltered environment.

Fur-Get Me Not Animal Rescue, Inc. is a foster based rescue. We strive to keep animals out of high kill shelters. In order to do that, we first try and help alleviate the pet owners issues, which are causing them to surrender their pets. If they are unable, or unwilling, to do so, a pet can be surrendered to us, where it will be placed in our foster program, receive medical care and, finally, adopted to a suitable forever home.

Franklin County Humane Society was founded in 1977 and has provided spay neuter, rescue and adoption help for the animals in our community for 40 years. During the early years volunteers fostered animals in their homes as we did not have a facility. At the same time the Humane Society tried to improve conditions for the animals at the County Animal Control pound in order to stop the killing of 90% of the animals taken to the pound each year. We did not have the funds to open our own shelter and our requests that the County hire a shelter manager and our offers to manage the pound were turned down multiple times. In 1999 we decided to raise funds to open a low cost spay neuter clinic as spay neuter is the most effective way to reduce the numbers of animals that end up abandoned at shelters and pounds each year. We opened our Planned Pethood Clinic in July 2000 in a rented building and were the second spay neuter clinic to open in the state. In 2003 we bought a house and land on Route 220 and moved the Clinic there. We continued to press for improvements at the County pound but in 2006 the County Board of Supervisors turned down our offer to manage the pound once again and announced they would rely on volunteers rather than hire a Manager. We realized that we needed to be the organization to help the animals going to the pound and we announced plans to raise funds for a no kill shelter. In 2007 we opened our Purrfect Treasures fundraising store and completed our campaign to raise funds to build the Adoption Center by the end of that year. The Adoption Center opened in April 2009. The numbers of animals that the Humane Society takes in each year has increased steadily while the numbers taken in by the pound has decreased. The Humane Society’s adoption, rescue and spay neuter programs and the cooperation between the Humane Society and the County pound staff has reduced the kill rate at the pound. The Humane Society now takes in 80% of the animals in need in our community and provided care for 2,420 animals at the Adoption Center last year. This is a complete reversal from the days when 90% of the animals taken to the County pound were killed. This is how vital the Humane Society is for the animals in our community. Though our programs have reduced the kill rate at the County pound down to 23% (204 animals) that is not good enough. The majority of animals killed at the County pound last year are outside cats and we have been working on programs to help outside cats and are providing free spay neuter for the pets of qualified residents. This month we are celebrating #FCHS Rocks: 40 Years Strong. Our Planned Pethood Clinic has provided over 55,000 spay neuters and our Adoption Center has provided care for over 15,000 animals in need. The Humane Society does not receive any government funding and relies on donations, grants and fundraisers to provide services.
