Orangeburg County Animal Control and Shelter serves the citizens of Orangeburg County South Carolina, helps to educate the public and enforce County ordinances on animal welfare. Orangeburg County Animal Control and Shelter is responsible for picking up animals in the county that are lost or homeless.

imals. We work to ensure that animals in the entire county are being treated properly and this includes investigating cruelty charges and working with law enforcement to prosecute these cases. Please note that this shelter does not adopt to the public, but if you’re interested in one of our animals, we invite you to fill out an adoption application through a 501c-3 rescue or local rescue such as the Orangeburg SPCA and they will review your adoption process from there.

Bubba, a ~2 year old male mixed breed dog, is in need of a place to call home. This sweet boy was brought to the shelter late on night, almost at midnight, after someone heard him screaming for help. They had thought it was just another stray but decided to go check. To their surprise, they found Bubba treading water in a pool that had filled from the recent rainstorm.
When an officer arrived, they found this poor boy trying to swim out of an inground pool but there were no steps or a shallow area for him to rest. He had a desperate look in his eyes and had almost given up when the officers were able to help him get out safely.
We are monitoring his condition and he has gotten so much better. We hope that he will be able to find a furever home soon. He is such a sweet boy that deserves the world; he loves fries and is good around kids.

We will add more information soon.

If any rescues can help this boy, please reach out to get in touch with our office at 803.534.0045 or email us at [email protected].

Momma dog and her puppies in need of a rescue ASAP!
Someone from the community has reached out to the shelter to try and help this momma and her puppies. She was being taken care of by these good Samaritans when she showed up with newborns. She was reportedly abandoned when she was found hanging out at an old house.
We do not have any space for her but are trying to help however we can since they are still helping her.
Is there any rescue that can step up for this baby?? Of so, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 803.534.0045.

Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to help Onyx! 🙏 💕

Onyx needs at least $31 more to reach $261 to help cover her spay appointment. 🙏 🙏
Onyx, our sweet girl just went to get spayed this morning to be able to finally go to her furever home. 👏 She needs some help covering her spay appointment.
It came to $261 total and we could use all the help we can get.
She was such a good girl and melted everyone's hearts and we couldn't be happier to see that she was finally going to be able to leave the shelter for her furever home.
Can anyone help Onyx out?

Please share! 🙏

Milo is such a sweet boy and looking for a way out of the shelter.
Milo is a creme and white colored bully mix male weighing ~50 lbs and Heartworm Positive.
When he first came to the shelter back in January as a stray, he was so terrified and would cower in the corner of the kennel. We moved him closer to the front of the shelter where it was hopefully a little less noisy to let him decompress.
He has since opened up a lot more, even letting us take him out for a walk. He was still a little scared but he is improving each day.

Is there any rescue that can help Milo?? Any potential fosters or adopters??
Please reach out to get in contact with our Shelter Manager at 803.534.0045 or email us at [email protected].

Riley, a male long-haired Shepherd mixed dog, was brought into the shelter today after he had been running loose with a friend for almost over a week. They were originally hanging out off Riley Rd in Cordova, SC but no one has come forward to claim ownership. The people that first saw didn't know where he came from but got worried that they would harm the kids.
We were able to pick this boy up and he turned out to be just scared of everything. He let's us pet him and has been very good since coming to the shelter but he needs a rescue ASAP!!

We will update more of his information soon. Riley will be on a 5-day stray hold.

If any rescues can help this sweet boy, please reach out to our office at 803.534.0045 or email us at [email protected].

We've just had a severe animal welfare case come into the shelter. We are currently working the case to help her.
"Bones", a ~2-3 year old female bully mix, weighing only 38 lbs, was seized from a property where she was found very skinny and malnourished.
We named her Bones because she ate all of the milk bones we gave her like they were her first meal in a long time.
We immediately took her to the vet to get her assessed to see what may be wrong. She weighed 38 lbs when we took her to the vet and is anemic.
At this time, the case is still under investigation and she will be under our custody until the case is settled.

Bones needs at least $400 to help cover her medical expenses and every bit helps her. You can donate on this post or donate directly to Pawsitively Orangeburg.

Buster, a ~1-2 year old white and black male mixed breed dog, came into the shelter today after he reportedly attacked someone's chickens in Eutawville, SC. He got caught in the chicken coop when he broke in and couldn't get out. We think he may have just been hungry but overall he is a very sweet boy.
Buster weighs 53 lbs and is Heartworm Positive. He is a little shy but we hope that he will open up to us more as times goes by. He is not microchipped or have any tags on him to help identify any possible owners.

Is there any rescue that can help this boy get out of the shelter if no one comes forward to claim him after the 5-day stray hold? Please reach out to our office at 803.534.0045 or email us at [email protected].
