There are five animal shelters and 31 private rescue groups just in the tri-county area, with new smaller groups emerging all the time, according to NoKill South Carolina in May 2021. Many are foster-based, and the efforts of all our shelters and rescue groups are tireless undertakings. While men do, of course, participate in many ways, including leadership, volunteer and staff roles, through this article, we will hear from several of the strong, compassionate women behind our area shelters and rescues, serving in leadership roles.
