Every animal rescued by AGC undergoes thorough veterinary examination and is provided appropriate treatment when necessary. Prior to adoption and depending upon age, all animals are spayed or neutered and are implanted with a Home Again microchip. While in the shelter, human interaction is undertaken to positively socialize each animal as they prepare for their new life and family.

The primary service area for AGC is historic Edgefield County, a rural community located in western South Carolina. Operating revenues and in-kind support are derived exclusively from donations, special event fundraisers, and rescue/adoption related contributions. As a public service to our community, AGC participates in outreach programs including private and public schools, nursing and senior citizen facilities, a federal correction institution, area churches, and via weekly radio programming highlighting myriad pet topics. AGC receives no tax or public funding and relies on the generosity and support of individuals to sustain our efforts. To date we have successfully rescued close to 1000 animals with the vast majority of these eventually adopted into loving and responsible homes.
