Local laws require that any assistance needed with domestic animals, such as a dog or a cat be referred to a local agency.
Most agencies can help you get rid of stray dogs or cats. Many can also help you with such items as lost pets, removing deceased pets or complaints about abused animals or suspected neglect.
For your convenience here is a list of agencies in South Carolina. While we do our best to maintain this list… if for some reason you spot an error or a number that has changed, feel free to notify us so that we can make the corrections.
Thanks!
