Final Victory Animal Rescue

🖤Helloooooo Dolly🖤

Meet sweet Dolly. She came to Fairfield County Animal Shelter after she was found in a ditch…actually trapped deep in a culvert…the fire department had to come help rescue this sweet girl. Final Victory Animal Rescue pulled her from the shelter and learned both of her back ACLs were torn and surgery is needed to repair them….and she is heartworm positive…of course.

We have donated towards her considerable medical expenses and will be watching her journey to a healthy, happy life! Thankful for everyone who has worked to get Dolly on the road to recovery.

🚨PLEASE READ! 🚨

Someone is reaching out to people with lost pets. They are saying they work for Final Victory and are requesting money in exchange for helping find the pet or saying we found it.

They've told people with lost pets that they have come into us injured and we need money to treat them. They're giving our address but saying we are closed currently so the owners cannot come see their pet.

The name being given currently is Michael Green. This is not our staff member and the account information is not ours.

‼️ Please do not contact this person or send them money ‼️

✨ THANK YOU ✨

While we wish every pet in our care could spend Christmas in a home, it's just not possible. So we put out a plea for help filling stockings to gift all 115 of our cats + dogs currently on site.

Our donors came through, once again! 🙌

Items are still rolling in but between sponsored stockings and those filled today, every single pet will have their very own!

We've got tasty treats and fun toys ready to make their holiday special. 🎅🐾

We are so grateful for every donation. Thanks for making the holidays happier for our animals.

If you are looking for the perfect holiday gift that does not involve traffic, crowded stores, the post office, or wrapping paper, we've got you covered! (And no, it's not a puppy under the tree!)

We have engraved bricks still available for a $100 donation! 🧱🧱🧱

Donating a personalized brick is a meaningful way to give back this season while also providing a special gift to an animal-lover or that person on your list who seems to have everything.

By purchasing a brick, you are supporting our nonprofit rescue and helping fund the care of cats and dogs in need. The custom brick will be part of our Path to Final Victory brick pathway that will lead to our new building opening in 2026. 🛠️

Bricks can be engraved:
• in honor of a person
• in memory of a person
• in honor of a pet
• in memory of a pet
• with the name of a business, individual, or family

It is a lasting, personalized gift that helps animals on their journey to final victory. Skip the lines, give with purpose, and make a difference. 🐶🐱

Guaranteed way to get on Santa's Nice List a week before Christmas: FOSTER AN ANIMAL! 🐾

We've got a small building, small staff, and 115 pets on site who'd much rather be in a home for the holidays! PLEASE consider opening your home up to a cat and dog in need and welcoming them as an extra guest for the next week or two. 🙏

It would be the greatest gift to our staff, your foster pet, and the animals sharing a space with them.

We welcome fosters who are 18+ and in the Columbia SC area. A fenced yard and a house are not requirements. We've got plenty of perfect apartment pets! 🐈‍⬛ 🐶

We provide ALL supplies that you may need: crate, food, potty pads, toys, blankets, bedding, litter and litter box, etc. We cover all medical needs, as well! You provide the safe space, cuddles, and fun. ❤️💚

If you are new to fostering with FVAR, please apply as a cat or dog foster on our website:
finalvictoryrescue.com

📲 If you're an approved FVAR foster, please reach out to our foster coordinator, Stephanie, via text: (803) 983-5649

Thank you for considering fulfilling our holiday wishes!!! 🎁

If you're looking to adopt a dog that has been repeatedly overlooked by others, please apply for one of these loves! 🐾

Our adoptions team is eager to connect and tell you all about their stories, preferences, quirks, fun personalities, favorite things, energy levels, and more to see who may be the best fit for you.

All of these deserving dogs are on our "long-timers" list and have had their adoption fees fully sponsored to help them find the right home. 🏡

When heard how many truly amazing dogs we have that have been with us too long, they offered to give a $500 shopping spree to the adopters of each of the dogs pictured. What an incredible gift to the people who will be giving these dogs their long-awaited final victories!!! 🎁 Thank you, Lazy Creek!

➡️ Apply to adopt at Finalvictoryrescue.com.

An application processor will reach out to you in a timely manner to answer questions and begin the process of finding your next canine companion! 🐕

At Final Victory, the animals we have committed to taking into our care are our first priority.

When their needs are fully met, and we have ample supplies and food for them, we do our best to help our shelter partners + community members.

As we grow, our mission to help both ends of the leash does, as well. We know times are extremely difficult for many people, including pet owners who truly love their animals. 🦮🚶🏼‍♂️

Through our Paw Pantry, we hope to reduce the need for pet parents to surrender or abandon their beloved pets due to food scarcity. By offering a 24/7, no-questions-asked supply of free pet items to the community, we hope lots of bellies will be filled and animals will be kept in the homes where they belong instead of in overcrowded shelters and rescues. 🫶

Anybody is welcome to come by any day or time at 919 N Lucas St. in West Columbia, SC to take what they need and leave what they can.

We kindly ask that you not to clear a full shelf and try to leave items for others in need. 🙏 As of right now, the pantry is being accessed daily, so we hope it is making a positive difference in the lives of many pets whose families are going through difficult times.

We have been blessed with generous donors and multiple supply drives recently and are fortunately in a position to give back right now.

On a first come, first served basis, we have:
🐾 cat and dog food
🐾 dog clothing
🐾 sheets
🐾 dog beds
🐾 dog ramps and steps
🐾 IBC tank style dog houses
🐾 tennis balls
🐾 and more!

Most items are in the blue Paw Pantry or the deck box directly beside it. If you need assistance, please feel free to ask inside the facility any day 8-5.

⭐️ We are unable to keep up with holding items or answering questions about what's still available. ⭐️

If you come by after hours and our pantry is empty, our friends at also manage a pet pantry located right outside of . It's another great place to drop off donations to make a difference, too!

Thank you to all those who support our rescue animals, municipal shelters, and pets in our community by donating! 🐈 🐕‍🦺
