About Us
Welcome To Richardson Rescue
Richardson Rescue, located in York, SC, is a non-profit animal adoption agency dedicated to preserving the sanctity of animal life. While trying to find a forever home for every pet that comes to us, we strive to give owners a better education on pet care, prevent pet neglect/abuse and provide a low cost spay/neuter program for those that can’t afford it. Richardson Animal Rescue is a 501C3, non profit, publicly funded rescue.
All in all, with thousands of animals saved off the streets and cared for every year, we hope to encourage much more pet adoptions to happen!

Richardson Rescue Seniors for Seniors Program
Our senior dogs are perfect companions for senior humans. They are mellow and well socialized and just want love and gentle care from their special someone.
Our senior for seniors program provides a way for seniors (65 or older) to bring a senior (6 years or older) furry, loving companion into their lives. Please submit our application and, if you are 65 or older, we will be in touch by email to let you know if you qualify for our program. We can then schedule and appointment for a visit.
