Our History
1976 | We were founded in 1976 to help address the needs of an ever-growing animal population. Originally, all animals were cared for in the homes of dedicated volunteers.
1999 | We moved to a location on Carolina Place in Fort Mill, SC, with the capacity to house 50 cats and about 20 dogs.
2011 | We were so excited to move into our current location at 8177 Regent Parkway with increased capacity and a beautiful facility. We currently have the approximate capacity to house 120 cats and 45 dogs. We have additional animals in long term foster and fospice (foster hospice).
Today | We continue to have a small staff and a group of wonderful volunteers that keep our Rescue, PAWSibilities Thrift Shop and seasonal Christmas Store running! Due to the community expansion, we need to expand. We are in search of land suitable for our FURmission to expand. If anyone has land to donate or sell, please contact us TODAY!
