Oconee County Shelter Seeks Volunteers, Donations For Seized Animals

Wednesday, February 09, 2005

The Oconee County Animal Shelter in South Carolina is seeking people willing to volunteer to help with overcrowding. They just got in an additional 90 dogs and 40 cats after a rescuing the animals from a local residence. The shelter suspects the owner was breeding animals for sale to a pet store in Georgia.

Their wish list includes dry food for dogs and cats of all ages, metal food and water dishes and birdseed for parakeets and parrots. Donated items can be dropped off at the shelter at 321 Camp Rd. near Walhalla.

The shelter also needs drivers to take the animals to and from the volunteer groomers. For that job, volunteers need a covered truck, station wagon, or van to help out. Those interested in volunteering can call (864) 338-6657 to leave contact information and volunteer coordinators will call you back.

  • mr. gerard should tell everyone where all the previous animals he supposedly rescued are.check the foster adoption list .alot of those animals were fostered out to other breeders. no background check was done .shame on you .these animals are still living the breeding life .five were given to a lady that had been fined by animal control already .

  • oconee county did another raid this month on a supposed puppy mill. what they forgot to tell was they did an ileagle entry to a home while the owner was in the hospital and removed birds that had food and water. by the fourth ammendment of the constitution of the united states of america no one has the right to do this.this is called breaking and entering .if you saw these dogs they looked pretty healthy to me .they threatened her with high fines if she didnt just sign everything over to the county .will your house be the next one broken into in the pretense of some wrong doing . we know where alot of these animals are and they are not going to the public .when will someone investigate this?
