Why We're Different
Pawmetto Lifeline provides a unique service to the Midlands – a service that is urgently needed. Since 1999, Project Pet – now Pawmetto Lifeline – has been the conscience of compassion for the Midlands community and a vital area resource for humane care for our abandoned and homeless animals. Our legacy is one of devotion to responsible and compassionate care for the homeless animals of our community, and of fostering the animal-human bond. The core purpose of Pawmetto Lifeline is to promote and practice the principle that every life is precious. Since our founding, we have rescued over 6,000 animals that would have been put to death otherwise.
More than 23,000 companion animals entered the animal control systems in Richland and Lexington counties in 2008. More than 19,000 of them were euthanized.
What we are all about is reducing that number to zero.
Now, in partnership with the Lexington and Richland county governments, we are poised to greatly accelerate our operations. When our new home Parkway – the Meyer-Finlay Pet Adoption Center of Lexington and Richland Counties – is finished, we will be able to rescue an additional 2,200 cats and dogs annually from shelters – up from our current rate of 800 annually – which means 3,000 animals that otherwise would not have a chance will live full and healthy lives.
