Our Story
Founded in 2016, Saving Sumter's Strays is dedicated to enhancing the rescue program at Sumter Animal Control. This volunteer-driven organization serves as a vital link between the shelter and the loving homes that these animals deserve. With a focus on the overcrowded open-intake shelter, the program has expanded to include not only rescue networking but also the adoption program and the provision of essential medical care and supplies. Volunteers dedicate countless hours to walking, socializing, transporting, and fostering these precious animals until they find their forever homes. It is a labor of love that fuels the passion of everyone involved.
