Animal Shelters in Columbia, SC
Columbia has eight listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. About half are rescue organizations. The nearest other city with listings is West Columbia, about three miles away. Somewhere on this list is a Columbia dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.
Columbia has eight listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The listings fall across Richland County and Lexington County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, West Columbia, Lexington and Leesville all have listings within about 23 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
