Every dog and cat is special and deserves to be taken care of. When we find those who are from irresponsible families who have not cared for them and need our help, we do our best to help them. There are thousands of homeless dogs and cats in our area who have no one. (In Richland and Lexington counties alone, over 18,000 were put to sleep last year because there were not enough homes for them.) Wescott Acres has compassion for every living thing, yet our resources are limited toward how many we can care for. We do our best to rescue abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats. We work with local humane associations, particularly the Midland's largest, Project Pet. When local families contact us about a pet they can no longer keep or a pet they have rescued, we talk with them about how they can best assist that pet. Wescott Acres Rescue is a 501C3 tax-exempt organization so as to actively seek to grow in our ability to help the helpless.

Our adoption fee for dogs is $125. All of our pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. They are current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention.

The cat adoption fee is $100. All of their medical has been provided as well and they are all feline aids/leukemia negative.
