 Hello, my name is Victoria Riles and I'm the Animal Services Superintendent for the City of Columbia. I want to thank you for tuning in today as we highlight some of our programs here at Columbia Animal Services and introduce a few of our life-saving team members. We hope you enjoy this short segment and find out how you too can be a part of life-saving. Columbia Animal Services has a rescue program since 2006 and we have sent over 18,000 animals to our local and national rescue partners. Rescue is very important to our shelter. It helps animals have a greater chance of finding a home with our rescue partners as well as finding a happy and loving place to live, not only in the local area but also nationally. Together we have created a no-kill community, it's something we are working towards. Becoming a rescue partner is very easy. You can submit your 501c3 through rescue at columbiasc.gov. Columbia Animal Services is in communication with over 150 rescue organizations weekly. Some of these rescues help with our life-saving efforts for animals that would not be able to find homes otherwise, mostly our medical cases. Like Treyal who came to us with an unknown leg injury, one of our rescue partners took him in to help save his life and he is getting the medical help that he needs. We are always looking for volunteers to help with our rescue efforts whether it's transport or coming in to do pictures. There's lots of opportunities with volunteering. If you have any interest in becoming a volunteer or a rescue partner please email us at rescue at columbiasc.gov and if you have any questions you can email as well. Thank you. There you have it. Thank you for listening to details about our rescue organization at Columbia Animal Services. We'd also like to thank our rescue partners, volunteers in the community in general who will assist us with this life-saving effort. Thank you again for tuning in and learning what we're doing over here at Columbia Animal Services. We'd love to have you be a part of any of our programs whether it be foster, volunteer, rescue or engagement on a daily basis. Please reach out to us via our social media platforms on Facebook, Columbia Animal Services and Instagram, Columbia Animal Services to find out what's going on and how you can be a part of the fun.
