About Critter Connection

Critter Connection is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue organization based in Spartanburg, SC. We are an all volunteer group, concerned about the welfare of the animals in our community.  We lovingly rescue, rehabilitate and re-home these special pets. They stay in our homes until the right person or family comes along. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. To adopt, we require an application, vet reference, and a home visit. All animals in the home must be spayed/neutered, current on shots and dogs on heartworm prevention. Our adoption fees are $85 (for most dogs) and $70 for cats along with an item from our wish list.

SPONSOR A RESCUE be a "GUARDIAN ANGEL"

This is a new opportunity for you to help, if you cannot physically help by being a volunteer or foster home maybe you would consider helping financially. If you have been looking to adopt an animal you can see our adoption fee is much less than most, we don't even break even after spay neuter and vaccinations and we have some that need extended medical care, heartworm treatment, ear infections, ect that needs to be taken care of before they're ready to go in to a new home. If you would like to help support a rescue animal you can send donations to us via PayPal or snail mail at the address below.
