Paw Savers is a not-for-profit animal rescue organization located in Columbia, SC, helping with pet population in the Midlands.
Pawmetto Lifeline is completely dependent on private gifts from individuals and foundations as well as revenue generating services that allow us to provide medical services for the homeless pets we rescue in our community. (Many of those pets require extensive medical services once they are in our care.) We receive NO FUNDS from the government to run our life saving mission.

Our Mission
Establish a no-kill community in the South Carolina, meaning no healthy, adoptable dog or cat dies because it is homeless.
Our Value
To create a better humanity through education and collaboration by promoting our values of:
- Respect, Justice and Compassion for those in need
- Courage to create change for the betterment of the community
- Collaboration with all like-minded individuals and organizations who strive to achieve a no-kill community
Our Plan
- Rescue over 4,000 pets annually that would not have had a chance.
- Spay and neuter up to 17,000 companion pets a year and provide medical services for all of the rescue groups that need to have their pets spayed or neutered.
- Break the cycle that has in the past led to hopelessness for so many helpless pets.
Our Goals
- Create a no-kill community in the South Carolina Midlands so that no healthy (or treatable), adoptable pets are euthanized in municipal shelters
- Develop and execute comprehensive community spay/neuter programs that reach out to all areas
- Increase pet ownership and retention
- Initiate educational programs that define the problem, prioritize the resources, and find the solutions
- Propose and support legislation to protect companion pets
- Find uninformed owners and intervene with appropriate education and assistance before their pets become history
- Develop pet/people therapy programs throughout the community
- Curtail amateur and backyard breeding
- Ensure that every microchipped pet that gets lost finds its way back home
- Develop programs to care for sick and injured companion pets
