Celebrating Hampton County's Animal Advocates
Animal Care Fund of Hampton County
The mission of the Animal Care Fund of Hampton County is to provide support for animal welfare and care programs, including the Hampton County Animal Shelter, to provide animal fostering, and to implement a TNR (Trap Neuter Release) program for feral cats, all within Hampton County, South Carolina. Kelly Brown saw a need and created ACFHC IN September 2022. ACFHC efforts have resulted in over 365 cats being spayed and neutered since March 2023. ACFHC has also provided food and shelter to numerous dogs, cats, & cat colonies. ACFOHC has found homes for dozens of dogs both locally and in connection with Pilots & Paws flying puppies to their forever homes in Virginia and Maryland.
