Welcome to the Orangeburg County
Animal Control Shelter

Our Mission:
The mission of the Orangeburg County Animal Control is to protect health and welfare of citizens in the communities, to educate the public about animal laws and provide professional and efficient service




Animal Control Staff

"Animal control is a professional occupation equal in importance to fire, ambulance and police servers. Animal control officers, like other officers, protect the health and welfare of citizens in our communities. In addition they respond to animal conditions of danger and cruelty. Officers patrol to pick up and receive surplus of stray animals that could cause human injury, automobile accidents, property damage or spread disease. They respond to citizen complaints and issue citations to owners when they are found in violation of the law."
