My name is Rose A. Chmielewski and I am the founder of ELMAR. I started this organization in hopes of educating others in our community about the correct care of an animal and to open there eyes at the horrific things that happen in a shelter.

Shelter Animals Adocates rescues dogs from Aiken County/City and other rescue/ shelters in our state. We often step in to help support animal efforts for overwhelmed rescues/shelters who help our state/county we foster the dogs, get them ready for adoption, by spay-neuter and other medical needs, We care for them until they can be adopted or move to a no-kill rescue. Under our HeartBeat Campaign we provide HW treatment for heartworm positive dogs rescued from Aiken County shelter, heartworm treatment takes about four months to complete. Most dogs we have for adoption have no where else to go, they are often bully mixes that no rescue has time to adopt out as fosters are hard to commit to lengthy fosters stays. Dogs we have for adoption often wait for months to find the right home. Please consider donating so we can continue our efforts in our state.

PAWS assists any and all animal welfare efforts in and around Aiken County to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable companion animals. Programs in PAWS include SNYP (spay-neuter) HeartBeats (HW prevention and treatment) Shelter animals Advocates (saving death row dogs) Love on Leashes (pet therapy)

Our mission it to rescue, rehabilitate, and find homes for dogs in need (and a few cats, too)! Our dream is that one day, we won't have to. MERCY: An event to be grateful for, because it’s occurrence prevents something unpleasant or provides relief from suffering. RESCUE: Save from a dangerous or distressing situation. HAVEN: A place of safety or refuge. Mercy Rescue Haven is an animal rescue group located in Upstate SC. MRH was founded after the rescue of Mercy, a pit bull mix that was found starving and alone. Mercy passed away 5 months after her rescue due to leukemia, this rescue is to honor her.

HHHA is a no-kill shelter dedicated to improving the lives of homeless dogs and cats while also working to substantially lower the numbers of animals reproduced or relinquished.

Kerry's Cats was founded in 2010 by Kerry A. Spitzenberger. We are a small, non-profit, foster home based 501(c)(3) cat rescue, that cares for, rehabilitates, and adopts out cats that have, in one way or another, been forgotten, mistreated, or left behind. Any money raised, goes directly to the care of our fosters. Kerry's Cats mission is NO MORE HOMELESS CATS in the York County, SC area. We work towards this mission on 3 fronts: 1) Working with each at risk cat in his/her present home to keep him/her at that home. This is done by assisting with veterinary care, providing food/shelter/containment/education as needed; 2) Providing low cost spay/neuter options to cat owners to reduce the population of potentially at risk pets in our designated geographic area; 3) Providing rescue and adoption options if other alternatives are not viable.

MAMAS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to help animals in and around the Bamberg County, SC area find good loving homes. We are considered a no kill shelter as no adoptable dog is euthanized. We are in an extremely poor county and are very underfunded and rely heavily on donations. We believe that all dogs deserve a chance and take all dogs - the injured and the sick, as long as they are not aggressive to people or other dogs, and they get, or can learn to get, some comfort and enjoyment from human attention. We focus on safety and happiness while they are in our care, with the hopes of simply being a transitional place until they are placed in a loving forever home. We focus on community education regarding responsible pet ownership whenever we get the chance.
