Carolina Helping Paws Rescue

Our journey started when we took in a Chocolate Lab named Roxie. We brought her into our home setting and our hearts took over from there. She is our Inspiration and she is still with us today.
We are a volunteer group of animal loving people who are the voice for as many as we can be. We can't look into the eyes of an animal and not see the soul that is there. We can't turn our heads and let it be someone's place to help. We all must do whatever is necessary. After that being said, we can't do it alone. We need all the volunteers, help, donations and sharing we can get. We are always looking for fosters to step up to save a life. We provide the food and vetting, we ask that you open your heart and home to help them to reach their final forever home. We are just a stepping stone to their forever home. You can help make that happen. If anyone is interested in anyway to helping our cause we welcome you. We always need fundraising ideas, people to help with fundraiser.
We save animals from shelters, abuse cases, neglect and the poor souls who are dumped. We encourage anyone to lend a helping hand in some way. Doing something small is better than not doing anything at all.

Rescue FAQs

We are a volunteer foster based rescue group. We are here to help with puppies/dog, kittens/cats that are in need. We serve Sumter, Wedgefield, Lee, Clarendon, Columbia and Florence, South Carolina areas.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $150.00 - $200.00 per puppy/dog (depending on medical expenses) and $50-$75 per kitten/cat. Our adoption includes that all animals are up to date on shots, worming, vetting according to their age. All of our dogs are to be spayed/neutered, and a contract to have that done by the adopter will be required if not old enough to be done. NO EXCEPTIONS...it is stated in our contract. Also, if for any reason you find yourself not able to keep the animal, they are ALWAYS to be returned to us if need arises to do so.
