Newberry County Animal Control

SAVE THEM ALL PET TRANSPORT

2023-05

Shout out to the community… Newberry, animal, control and shelter, are inundated with the pit Bull population of that area… I’m just reaching out to people to urge you to spay and neuter your pets!It’s crucial in our fight to stop the killing of these precious babies through jail house euthanasia…Did you realize the dog spelled backwards is God?

I adopted from Newberry and this place is disgusting. They don’t even attempt to clean. Not only is it nasty but I had to point out a dead animal for them because they didn’t even see it. They also load animals up in a box truck, no air conditioning, no ventilation, nothing! Not sure if they realize but we live in the south and it’s 100 degrees outside! They take those animals to Columbia to get spay/neuter and shots and my only thought is in this heat they only get those things IF they survive the ride there in a box truck in this heat!!!!!This shelter needs to be shut down or new staff or a new director because this is ridiculous!

These people are so delusional that they act like everyone who walks through the door has a wrap sheet of harming animals: i.e., carry on with stuck up attitudes and hatred/condescension that honestly requires a lot of deliberate effort.I understand they’re overwhelmed and “doing the best they can”, but, uh, can’t expect a dog to leave this place in decent, domesticated shape when the feral workers can’t even treat fellow humans with compassion.They gaslight people into adopting animals without understanding that animal and human compatibility is a valid requirement for successful adoption. Hence the endless loop of strays and unwanted animals that cycle through.Sigh. Poor animals. Maybe they’d have higher instances of adoption if folks representing and caring for the animals were more approachable, so maybe give that a shot. 😉

They are always full on kennels… I tried finding good homes for the puppies I can’t keep but they just don’t care. I’m not a heartless woman so ima keep trying but I’m done with this shelter.

These are the rudest, most unconcerned people I’ve ever met. They came onto my property, unannounced, yelling at me for coming outside with my gun. Mind you, I am a Black woman and these two white women are walking around my property, chasing my dog. They did not announce themselves until a yelled at them to leave. I was TERRIFIED because I didn’t know why they were there, in my backyard and they thought they had a right to be there. When I called in to see what was going on and request that they let people know that they have business at their homes, the lady who answered the phone also had an attitude. These people have NO respect at all.

Small shelter helping animals in a remote area where most are strays that are brought in. All the pens were clean with fresh food amd water. The staff was friendly towards us as well as the animals; they are passionate about finding these animals good homes. We got to hold some cats and hear about their stories from the adoption coordinator.

Someone took a cat in a cage they found on side of the road cage had zip ties on it so could not get out. They took it there and lady said was told how it was found. She told them bring back at 10 not open. She was going to leave right outside so when it opened she could take in. No lady told her if she did she would be ticketed. Real caring do right thing and get threatened for saving it from the cold and the cage.Way to go should be proud of yourself shelter lady.

My family was in a horrible car accident not far away and these kind people took in our little Jasper. They went above and beyond to show us kindness, to the point of giving Jasper a bed so he would be more comfortable on the ride back after the accident. I can't say enough good things about the staff. We will never forget the love you have for animals and the kindness shown to our family. Thank you.

It's sad to see the horrible reviews. But they are true for certain races of people. All I can say is they have their picks. And they rather kill a dog than to help it. You have very little good help there. Go to another county if you can. And you shouldn't have to wait five days to get info on an animal you helped.

These are some really dedicated animal lovers! I visited to try to find a fur buddy for my girl Angel, and the staff and volunteers were so nice and helpful. This is a rural shelter that has fewer resources than other places but they have big ❤️ and would welcome any help from other animal lovers!
