We are incredibly proud to share a special behind-the-scenes look at our partnership with the McCormick County Correctional Institute! 🐕

In this short video, you’ll see firsthand how this amazing program changes lives on both ends of the leash. Our dogs get dedicated, round-the-clock training to learn manners, social skills, and commands that prepare them for their forever homes. At the same time, the inmates find fulfillment, purpose, and joy in helping these animals transform.

As an all-volunteer nonprofit, partnerships like this mean the world to us and to the dogs waiting for a second chance.

Watch their journey and contact us at [email protected] to learn more. ❤️

Courtesy Post: This pup needs a home!
Wiggles, also known as Buddy Boy, was a stray that someone left on our farm 5 months ago. He is very sweet and playful and he deserves a home.

Wiggles has been neutered and he is up to date on shots. We do give him flea prevention and he is crate trained. We have not let him in our home because the dog we have will not allow it. He lives outside. He is very friendly to my dog thru a fence. The vet said he is 7 years old.

We are desperate to find Wiggles a good home. If you have questions or know of a rescue that can help him, please call us at 864-828-2127. He is in McCormick County.

This pup is posted as a courtesy post and is not affiliated with the Humane Society of McCormick County (HSMC). The HSMC is not liable for this pup and an adoption of a pup would be independent of the HSMC. By courtesy posting, we are offering our website as an additional outlet to help an owner or rescuer gain additional exposure for the dog they are trying to place.

Please make sure your pets rabies vaccination is up to date!

We’ve had several confirmed cases of rabies this year in Anderson, Greenville, and Pickens counties. An information flyer from SCDPH is included with details about the most recent rabies-positive case in Greenville County.
Rabies doesn’t just pose a threat to our dogs and cats; it can also affect livestock, wildlife, and people
The best way to protect your pets, your family, and your farm animals is to make sure your dogs and cats are current on their rabies vaccinations. Some farm animals can also be vaccinated against rabies, so talk with your veterinarian about which vaccines may be appropriate for your livestock. Even pets that spend most of their time indoors can be exposed if a bat or other wild animal gets into your home.
If you own livestock, keeping your pets vaccinated, and vaccinating eligible farm animals, can help reduce the risk of exposure around your property. Be sure to avoid contact with wildlife, and report any animals that are acting unusually aggressive, unusually tame, or showing other abnormal behavior.
If your pet or livestock is overdue for a rabies vaccine or has had contact with a wild animal, please give us a call. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but it is completely preventable through vaccination.
Let’s do our part to protect our pets, our livestock, our families, and our community. 🐾❤️

Update: Post-surgical photo in comments.

🐾 Update for our sweet girl, Brandie!
Today, she went to the Lincolnton Animal Hospital for her eye removal surgery. While it sounds scary, that is an old injury that has left her blind in that eye and we know this procedure will help her feel her best.

At 10 years old, Brandie has been so sweet and gentle through it all. She originally came to us with a large litter of puppies that she lovingly nursed. Since then, she has been spayed and treated for heartworm disease. This surgery is her very final step to being completely healthy and well.

Thank you to our amazing community! Her life-saving care is only possible because of our dedicated supporters. Thank you to everyone who donates directly, and everyone who donates to and shops at the HSMC Thrift Store. You are the reason dogs like Brandie get the medical care and second chances they truly deserve.

Please keep Brandie in your thoughts as she begins her recovery! We will keep everyone updated on her progress. ❤️🐶
