No Kill Strategy
No Kill South Carolina aims to create an infrastructure for humane animal welfare organizations in order to optimize quality of care and maximize lifesaving of healthy, treatable canines and felines in South Carolina. We are creating a “State of Kind.”
Is it crucial that shelters and rescues in each community collaborate and build a united front to create real and sustainable improvement in lifesaving and humane care.
