Windy Ridge Rescue

Animal rescue in Sumter, SC

We are a group of people dedicated to saving animals in our community from being euthanized in shelters, living as strays, or ending up in abusive situations. We pool our resources and connections together with donations from our supporters to relocate the unwanted to areas of our great country where their fates are full of love and admiration and families of their own. We do adopt locally, although without a facility, we rely on fosters and our fosters appreciate knowing exactly when their guests will be leaving.

We also assist families and the community with Trap, Neuter, Return efforts and team up with pet parents and rescue partners whenever it makes sense to save and help more animals in need. We are always looking for short term fosters and drivers and of course, donors!

Potential adopters complete an adoption application and all animals in the household attend a meet & greet once vet references and a home visit is complete. Fees are negotiable, but a non-refundable donation is required. Follow ups and access to a dog behaviorist/trainer is encouraged. A finalized adoption contract is required. Our rescue is an all volunteer organization and many of our volunteers are employed full time elsewhere. Please be patient for someone to contact you or return your call. Thank you.
