Despite the coronavirus crisis, the Aiken County Animal Shelter continues to adopt out homeless animals in need. The shelter is temporarily closed to the public, but folks can visit and adopt pets by making an appointment and completing paperwork curbside.
Here are some of the latest emails and notes we’ve received from people who have given homeless animals a second chance at a great life:
Baya is getting more comfortable each day
Thank you for checking in! Baya is doing great. She is behaving and eating well. She loves to play and is careful with our small children. So far, she is adapting better than expected and getting more comfortable every day. We love her so much!

Penny adjusting well to her new family
Penny is doing great, loves her treats and has a hearty appetite! Loves playing with her tennis balls, rope and dinosaur. She has adjusted very well and is a great addition to our family!

Kittens Frick & Frack have new names and a better life
Since adoption, Frick and Frack have been given the new names of Rajah and Bagheera! My fiancé and I are big Disney fans, so we decided to name them after Disney cats, the tiger from Aladdin and black panther from The Jungle Book. We are so impressed with their behavior. No scratching at all, use the litter box well, haven’t nipped or clawed either of us, and eat just fine! We have enjoyed the entertainment during this quarantine watching them play with all of their toys and each other. We are so glad we had the opportunity to adopt these two sweet and loving girls!

Louis is bonding with new sister, Pippa
Louis (renamed Neville) is doing fantastic. He is slowly becoming less shy and more playful (at least around us). He gets along great with our other dog, Pippa, and keeps a safe distance from Stinky the cat. He usually eats well and has gained some weight since he arrived last month.
