Animal shelter in Chester, SC

We are a high intake shelter located in rural Chester, South Carolina. We are dedicated to finding families for the dogs and cats in our care. We work tirelessly to rehome all the animals by networking our pets and partnering with rescue organizations. Benefits of adopting from the Chester County Animal Control
• Staycation – after you select you “furever” pet you can take them home for 10 days to ensure everyone settles in
• Peace of mind knowing that your new pet has received initial vaccinations
• Pet has been either spayed or neutered
