Animal Advocates "Friends For Life" Foster and Adoption Center

Established in 2005, The Animal Advocates is a non-profit auxiliary organization that supports the animals of Barnwell County and the Barnwell County Shelter.

Our mission is to provide care and shelter for stray, abandoned and abused cats and dogs in our community; to place these animals in stable and loving permanent homes; to promote and provide spay/neuter surgeries to reduce the animal population; and, to make the public aware and educate the community on the proper care and treatment of all animals.

**This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer**

Welcome to The Animal Advocate Facebook! The Animal Advocates is a non-profit charitable organization made up of volunteers from diverse backgrounds and ages. The common thread that binds us together is our dedication to rescuing, healing, safeguarding and giving new life to animals in need. Each day we are touched by the animals that we help and are saddened by the stories that come with them. These animals may never forget their unfortunate pasts, but we want to insure that their futures are filled with hope and that they are given the second chance that they all deserve.



As President of The Animal Advocates since 2005, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand the great things that are accomplished each day by our organization. We are blessed to have a dedicated staff and volunteers that understand our mission and truly want to make a difference in the lives of the animals in Barnwell County. Their efforts have certainly had a definite impact on our success. I also commend our Board of Directors for their dedication in supporting our organization by sharing their expertise, time, talents, and leadership. Their resolve and determination to stay true to our mission and values has been remarkable. I am deeply proud, honored, and humbled to be a part of The Animal Advocates organization.



We invite YOU to join us in our efforts and assist us in accomplishing our mission and goals for the animals in Barnwell County. Never doubt that a small group of caring and committed people can make a difference. We CAN change the world by starting in our own little corner of it! TOGETHER, we CAN make a difference!



A Friend for Life,

Vikki Scott, President
