**The HSLSC was formed because of the dissolution of the former group HSLC, Inc. If you have any need to contact the HSLC, Inc. please call them at 803-285-5900 or see the Sec of State listed contact information for them: http://www.scsos.com/index.asp?n=18&p=4&s=18&corporateid=507211
ASK THEM WHY THE LAC HAS NOT YET RECEIVED EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO AS PER DISSOLUTION OF HSLC, INC!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE - do to limited amount of foster homes at this time we cannot take in many pets, no strays ever, sorry. We pull from the local shelter all we can when their time is up. WE NEED MORE FOSTER HOMES! Please consider helping just one!! See our documents page for more information.
If you are missing a pets or need to report animal abuse or neglect please call the Lancaster Animal Control at 803-286-8103.
If you cannot hold onto the pet & cannot find a new home or rescue - you must bring the pet to the LAC - just bare in mind that 98% of the cats/kittens do not get out alive & 83% or more of the dogs/puppies do not get out alive. Owner surrenders are first to 'go' when they run out of room, which is all too often, sadly.
Due to Petfinder rules & lack of follow-up by people we can no longer do courtesy listings on petfinder.....we apologize...but PLEASE use the CLASSIFIED section on Petfinder.com to re-home your pet, always be careful & screen people, there are evil people out there!

We want to wake up & shake up Lancaster County, SC to start really caring about the pets here. We want owners to be held accountable for the abused, forgotten, & neglected pets here!
We assist our local shelter (LAC) as much as we can! We assist rescues when they want to pull from Lancaster County Animal Control. We also provide some transportation for those that are a distance away, or first leg of a transport. We do all we can to save as many as we can!

Please bare in mind that we are just starting to take on the reduced cost spay/neuter program & are in need of help, volunteers, & a vehicle to take the pets to Chester, SC.

The Humane Society of Lancaster, SC has adoptathons on Fridays (WEATHER PERMITTING) from 6pm - 7pm in front of our office located at 126 S Main Street Lancaster, SC 29720. Weather permitting we will have pets available there. We will be scheduling more events and will meet with specific pets as scheduling permits. Call our hotline! 803-285-LOVE (5683). We have our monthly meetings & invite people to join us in our quest! Check back for more details please!
Our normal adoption process consists of an adoption application with vet reference (personal reference if you do not have a vet), approx $50 - $300 adoption fee for canines & $50 - $150 adoption fee for felines, which includes UTD shots & worming & a pre-determined portion will be refund after required spay/neuter is complete & proof submitted to us. If pet is already spayed/neutered coming to us the fee is less, unless we (HSLSC) have paid to s/n them, then we must charge a higher adoption fee to cover our charges. (**Some fees and refunds may vary depending on circumstances of pet, this will be determined and written on the adoption contract.)
We do have a pre-adoption clause which requires payment & contract signed up front, then after reference checks are done (we ask 3 days to do this) you can pick up your new family member!
