Looking for a New Forever Friend?

Why Adopt from Project Pet

We only take pets from local high-kill shelters. Every animal at Project Pet was at some point at risk for euthanasia. We sometimes literally pull animals just minutes before would have been euthanized. But these are by no means second-class pets. They are healthy, happy dogs, puppies, cats and kittens, and many are purebreds. All of them are looking for homes to call their own, and every one of them deserves a chance.

How do I adopt a dog or puppy?

The first step is to fill out an adoption application.

You can find a terrific selection of dogs waiting to meet someone just like you right here. If you find one you love, please put his or her name in your application.

To meet one of our dogs, we can arrange a time once we have your approved application. We also take all available dogs to our weekly adoption events at the Harbison PetSmart (246 Harbison Blvd, Columbia, SC 29212) every Saturday 11:30am-4:00pm. Feel free to bring your existing dogs to help pick out their new forever friend.

How do I adopt a cat or kitten?

The first step is to fill out an adoption application.

You can find a terrific selection of cats waiting to meet someone just like you right here. If you find one you love, please put his or her name in your application.

You can stop by our facility to meet cats Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 1-5pm or by appointment once you have an approved application. We are located at 6880 St. Andrews Rd. Columbia, SC, just past Irmo High School, next to Little Caesar's.

We also have cats in the cats rooms at the three Columbia-area PetSmarts (Harbison, Lexington and Two Notch), who are all anxious to meet you.
