My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Athena is in a foster home and is a wonderful companion. She is good with other dogs and plays with their two cats. She will chase the cats but doesn't hurt them. It takes her a little while to warm up to folks, especially men. Once she accepts you, you have the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Athena will be the one wagging her whole body when you come home. She will be next to you on the couch watching TV and she will be the one lying on the floor next to your bed, waking up happy and ready to start a new day. Athena is not food-aggressive. She knows basic commands but is easily distracted if a squirrel comes into view. She appears to be a hound mix with a birthdate of 8/14/22. House trained. She weighs 46 lbs and is up to date on her shots, spayed, and microchipped. The ideal situation for Athena would be a caring person or family with a large fenced yard where she could run and play.

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of McCormick County is a private, non-profit, no-kill organization formed in September 2000. We are staffed entirely by volunteers and we operate the only shelter in the county. Our rural county is a very poor county in South Carolina.

McCormick County does not allocate any money for a county or city shelter and we do not have any veterinarians in our county.

We are all our county has for any help with animals.

We approach this problem through our "No more litters... fix your critters" low cost spay/neuter program. We altered a total of 272 dogs and cats in 2020! (95 McCormick County owned dogs and cats free of charge to those who qualified for it, 119 HSMC rescues, and 58 trap-neuter/spay-return-monitor.)
