Carmen’s Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer dog rescue organization serving the Upstate of SC. We are dedicated to rescuing abandoned and neglected dogs. Once out of harm’s way we work to get the dogs into loving, responsible, permanent “forever” homes. We are a small group that is able make a difference through the kindness and fearlessness of the dedicated volunteers who find and rescue these precious animals, the foster families who open up their homes and hearts to those whom have never known the touch of a loving hand or the warmth of a home, and through the generous and selfless donations of the kind and caring people who believe in what we do. We work intimately with SHS to take in some of their least adoptable dogs, getting them into our foster homes and then prepared and adjusted to a normal home life. When they are ready they will go up north to one of our rescue partners so they can find their forever home . Please follow us on Facebook at Carmen Klapper to see our latest rescue
