Keep families together when times get tough
Safe Start Fund
Whether pet owners are facing a medical emergency, housing loss, or other unexpected challenges, Safe Start will provide short-term boarding, expand our much-needed No Empty Bowls pet food pantry, and offer critical medical care to keep pets out of the shelter and in the arms of the people who love them.
“Life is not all about work. Don’t wait until you’re retired to get involved in something you are passionate about. Carve out a couple hours a month and make a difference.”
Partners in Animal Care is a nonprofit that supports Greenville County Animal Care, the largest open-admission shelter in South Carolina. Our mission is to save more homeless animals by raising awareness and providing fundraising support.
Our board consists of passionate animal lovers from Upstate who volunteer their time to support the shelter. Many also volunteer at the shelter on Furman Hall Road.

Shelter Playgroup Alliance
Shelter staff and volunteers took part in a 3-day Defensive Handling & Playgroup Training program. The result? Better behavior and faster adoptions!
Enrichment Room Remodel
In a full shelter, space is tight. Interactive toys and treats are essential stress relievers. The new enrichment room includes commercial appliances, stainless steel storage, and dual workspaces.
New Surgical Lights
Greenville County Animal Care staff were all smiles after we replaced the 15 year old surgical lights at the shelter. Over 2,000 animals are treated at the clinic on Furman Hall Road.
Make an Impact
Every act of kindness brings us closer to saving more lives. Your donation helps provide medical care, shelter, and second chances to animals who need it most. Whether it’s a one-time gift or recurring support, every dollar makes a difference.
