The Loving Home Rescue and Adoption shelter, a non-profit 501.3c organization, located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. We are a NO KILL rescue where the life of every animal that crosses our path is important to us. Loving Home Rescue strongly feels that euthanasia should be used for sick, and/or dangerous animals or for humanitarian reasons to end suffering--not because an animal is not cute enough or pretty enough to be adopted.
Loving Home Rescue’s goal is to find a happy home for all animals. Because we are non-profit group, we work solely from donations. We spay and neuter our animals and ensure all their shots are up-to-date for when they are adopted to their forever home.
Our passions are the disabled and senior animals- the ones that are discarded because they are not able to chase the ball or run and play like younger dogs; those who have become a ‘burden’ because they to fail to let their owners know they need to go out; or those who are blind and require a little extra time to be cared for, after all their years of faithful service to their owners. I am a disabled Marine and as a Marine, we never left anyone behind. I feel these animals should not be left behind either, which is why I started this animal rescue.
Our mission is to:
• provide shelter, care and medical attention for homeless animals
• provide homeless animals with a new permanent home
• prevent abuse, misuse and killing of domestic animals
We are in need of volunteers to help with all aspects of our animals’ care and shelter operations, including feeding, cleaning and playing with the animals, carpentry projects, shelter promotion (within the community and on the Internet), fundraising efforts, and the adoption process of naming the dogs and cats, photographing them, and assigning each their appropriate color band.
In addition to financial donations, these donations are always needed and are much appreciated: cat and dog food, metal bowls, cat litter, pea gravel, litter pans, balls and ropes, scrap lumber of any kind, nails, bleach, cleaning supplies, trash bags, small plastic pools, dog/cat houses, dog/cat collars and leashes.
Currently, we have several projects we are working on that we need donated supplies for, as well as volunteers to help with the carpentry and physical labor:
• Finishing a sunroom for the cats-this involves finishing the floor, framing in the sides and then screening it in
• Install two 6-foot privacy fence panels. We hope this will deter people from throwing animals over the fence and injuring the animals. We have the fence panels, but need volunteers to help install them
• Finish building the new Out Building for our dogs. Currently framed-in, we need to add the roofing and sides.
• Re-do the flooring inside the shelter by installing new vinyl flooring
I want to personally all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication to our shelter. And I would also like to thank those who have donated financially or given much needed supplies!
