Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties in South Carolina euthanize tens of thousands of dogs every year. Freedom Fences was co-founded in 2010 to try to reduce those numbers. We find ways to educate owners and help them provide better homes and living conditions for their pets. Today we are a 501C(3), tax free, not for profit charity run by volunteers who: Identify dogs living outside on short or encumbered chains, often with inadequate shelter and/or nutrition; Offer kennels to owners at no cost, enabling the dog to benefit from freedom of movement within a generous safe space; Pre-screen and then follow up to ensure the services we provide are being used according to our agreements with the pet’s owners. Advocate for strong anti-tethering laws, enforcement of responsible pet ownership and accountability of local civic leaders responsible for animal welfare
