About Lexington County Animal Services
Lexington County Animal Services is a shelter where animals are described as "adorable" and "sweet". Under new leadership, this shelter has made significant improvements, introducing programs that were never available before. The director has successfully implemented new ordinances and created volunteer opportunities to help save more dogs. While the adoption process can sometimes feel rushed, with some staff members coming across as "judgy", there are others who show great dedication, even visiting animals at odd hours to provide comfort. The staff has been noted for their professionalism and courtesy during difficult times for pet owners. However, there are concerns about how some employees interact with adopters, as there have been reports of waiting unnecessarily and a lack of patience. Despite some issues with cleaning practices and interactions, the commitment to helping animals overcome challenges like depression and lack of appetite is clear. With some patience and understanding, potential adopters can still find a new furry friend at this shelter.
Under new leadership, this shelter has come a long way. They now offer programs never had before and their director has succeeded in getting new ordinances implemented. They now have volunteer opportunities to see more dogs are saved. Please support them so their efforts continue to grow!
We adopted our sweet girl from here. Staff was so patient and gave us time to really get to know her. Also cat tested her and gave helpful tips. We absolutely love Maggie!!
Great experience today at Lexington County Animal Shelter! We drove 1.5 hours to meet a dog, and were met with a friendly and patient staff that really seemed to care about the animals.
